10 January 2026
Lots of yo-yo weather in the past two weeks!
- 7 days above freezing starting Christmas Eve: Highest was 64°F
- 6 days below freezing at the New Year: Lowest was 10°F
- Another spate above freezing this week: : Highest was 66°F.
The plants may be shocked by this up and down weather but some low-lying moss (above) was as green as Ireland on Thursday before the next cold snap.
Meanwhile, beautiful altocumulus undulatus clouds at 3pm on Thursday 8 January made waves in the sky. This type of cloud can predict rain within the next 20 hours and indeed it started to rain on Friday just before 9:00am.
Yo-yo weather keeps the streams open and running. This brook at Bowers, PA made happy sounds as it ran with snowmelt.
