Surely you'd get guaranteed snow up in the mountains?
Your climate is closer to mine than I assumed. A bit milder winters, especially the nights/morning while summers are a bit cooler and less humid. I get almost double the precipitation; but your place isn't semi-arid like most of the interior west nor blazing hot or extremely cold. I'd guess your winters are much cloudier than mine, not sure about the rest of the year.
Yeah, there's snow in the hills. Just none, (that's sticking around), down here in the lowlands. I have to chuckle inside when long-timers complain about "how hot it is" when the temps get into the high 80s. I'm loving that, having come from the high desert where triple digits are common in the depth of summer.
It's semi-arid here. Under Köppen the area is classified as either dry-summer continental, (Dsb), or warm-summer Mediterranean, (Csb). Humidity is definitely not an issue. I wouldn't have moved here is it was. Your precipitation is fairly well distributed equally throughout the year. It's pretty dry here in the summer seasons.
The overcast is usually pretty heavy in the wintertime. I was warned about that, but heavy cloud cover has never bothered me before. It's sunny the rest of the year. It's mostly sunny today. Perfect day to take a bike ride on the trails through the forest. I sure do love it here! Can't think of a more perfect place to live a retired life of outdoor adventure.
In my area today is really the first classic "frozen mist" overcast day we've had this winter. Since November the days usually alternated between cold and dry, mild and dry and frigid and dry.
My status says it all and is fairly self explanatory at this point, nothing special or significant weather wise to report in the Indianapolis area.... I just wish that accu weather’s prediction of a delayed spring season doesn’t come to fruition- that is all that I wish for.
Ozone depletion from sudden stratospheric warming; sun angle is so low up there probably not a hazard for human health. GFS has big polar vortex split, one aiming towards Siberia, another central Canada. Not posting it as I think it's a bit too soon
Nice to hear you're enjoying it. If I assume it hasn't been extremely warm or near record warm there am I correct?
I only assume this because it hasn't been that cold here. I think the ridge axis is peaking to your west mostly. So it's giving you a warm Pacific flow but your not fully inside the ridge so to speak.
Record warm only for one day in the middle of January when it reached 64F. Just 11 days (10 of them in December) at or below 32F (5 of them between 31F and 32F). There have been winters like that before (usually El Nino) but this one was expected to be much colder because of La Nina.
