Ready for some warmer weather?

Wow! This looks like something from a movie!
This is a sun pillar. That "flame" is the setting sun with a pillar of light caused by tiny ice crystals in the sky.

Frigid but pretty! You're looking at another great picture of cloud iridescence. That "rainbow" is caused by ice crystals in the cirrus clouds refracting the light. Thanks to 13abc Viewer Lori Harp for this photo from outside of Tiffin Sunday morning.

*METEOR SHOWER TONIGHT*
If you're willing to brave the cold weather, you may see quite a show in the skies tonight. It's the peak of the Geminid Meteor Shower!
Anytime after 8pm should work, look to the east (near the planet Jupiter) and you should be good to go.

Sorry, Santa!
The outlook through Christmas has really warmed up over the past few days. Much of the USA will be warmer than normal. This puts NW Ohio and SE Michigan's chance at a White Christmas at only 25%. It only takes one snow-maker though to change that...

*Head SOUTH for the heavier snow*
Even though snow totals won't be that impressive for most, be on the lookout for some blowing & drifting snow. Doesn't take much to reduce the visibility and cover the roadway with a layer of snow.
Stay safe and stay warm!

*Crepuscular Rays*
See those beams of light through the clouds? Those are crepuscular rays sneaking through the cloud deck. Sure brightens up the sky on a rather gray afternoon.

Mountain range in Northwest Ohio? Nope.
This is the view as we went from deep blue skies to gray skies this afternoon. Quite the contrast with those clouds on the horizon.

Do you use a humidifier to stay comfortable during the colder months?
If you don't, you're heating up air with very little moisture, that causes the relative humidity to drop to desert-like levels. You may notice more static, dry skin, frizzy hair, squeaky floors, etc.
