We may see a small shower chance Monday afternoon, but it won't be a big deal. Thurs is our next chance for measurable rainfall after Sunday. Temp wise... Mainly cool in the 50s for highs with mid to upper 20s for lows Tues and Wed mornings. Keep your fingers crossed but right now next ...

Looking back at last night, around 1am it looked like a hurricane outside my window in Madeira. The power came back on at our farm in Ripley, OH a little while ago—I was able to check the weather stats and there was a 63 mph wind gust at 2:01a verifying the SVR thunderstorm warning.

A little above average temps for the end of the month would be welcome! This is from the station at our farm in Ripley showing where we stand as of now... with an average temp over the past week of 21.4; 33.3 for all of February; and 29.5 as the average for the year. My electric bills at the farm ...

Just checked the camera from our farm in Ripley, OH... nothing crazy but much whiter than outside my office window in Madeira.

It got down to -9 at our farm near Ripley, OH at 6:20 am and -4 in Madeira at 2 am. Just a bit chilly!


There we go! I knew someone would report in a temp colder then ILN. Awesome! :)


It didn't last too long. A slight breeze kicked around 6:40 in after being calm for several hours and the ...

Have a rain gauge at a property in Indian Hill and they got 1.20” on Saturday……wouldn’t that be nice


We were similar next door in Madeira. Meanwhile, I was out at my farm in Ripley, OH and we barely got enough (0.05") to settle the dust while I watched a storm form to the south of us and merge ...

Friday night the sky turned awesome around 10 pm. Naked eye aurora was completely overhead and even south. While not as bright as the pictures, there were a few pulses that lightened the landscape considerably. Saturday night didn’t yield much but a faint aurora that appeared sporadically on the ...

Great viewing in Columbus, IN!

And we have a watch…

One quick piece of advice that was given to me when I saw the last one from a guy who had seen several of them... If it is your first or second eclipse, just simply enjoy the moment. Don't worry about trying to photograph it as a picture of the actual eclipse is pretty much the same, no matter who ...

This is early, but I have to laugh- even the eclipse just barely goes to our north. This looks like most of the snow maps we've seen. ;)

It's still going to be 99.69% total in Cincinnati.
The best one we've seen here in quite some time...


True, and it ...

I'm so sorry that this happened, and yes, a true shock. Take care of yourself and your family, family is what matters most.

HAPPY 49TH BIRTHDAY CHRISTIAN!! :birthdaymulticolor: :cake:

I hope that you're enjoying your special day, Wxbuddy! 8-)

Currently 48 here in G'ville and progged for around 30 Sat AM. Then a high near 60 later. :sunny:

Ironically, this is the 11th anniversary of the tornado outbreak that nailed Piner and Moscow plus others. A few years ago, I started volunteering with the Red Cross and I am now the Disaster Action Team Coordinator for the Cincinnati Tri-State Chapter. We've been busy today making sure that we have ...

it looks like we might be flying a little blind... both KILN and TCVG are currently down.

I am guessing that is the cell near Harrison, IN. There might be a little rotation but the velocity scan is a bit noisy and it is hard to tell.

There is a new MD up for our area...

Measured just under 4” out here in the hills above Ripley. A heavy band just went through with the most “blizzardy” looking conditions I have seen all winter. Looking at radar, that should be the last of the heavy stuff and now it is back to light snow.

I just got an alert from my weather station near Ripley saying we just exceeded 2” out there today.

Won’t be around much longer… the sun is doing its job!

Sleetfest 2022 is still rocking in Madeira! Power is still on at our farm near Ripley and the ground is getting white per the cameras so the Sleetfest tour looks to have reached there.
