Each morning our classroom checks the current temperatures. These are taken at 10:00 Eastern Standard Time. We are graphing our temperature ranges each month and will post our graphs for comparison.

 1/21/11 We have a two hour delay because we had 4 inches of snow in the middle of the night. We are not forcasted to have more but it is snowing again now as I am waiting for the children to arrive. The temperature is 20 degrees F. I am uploading pictures from last Wednesday. It was a warm day and snow was melting from the night before. We had also had 4 inches come the middle of the night on Monday the 11th through Tuesday the 12th making for another school delay. 1/24/2011 Our school is under a two hour delay once again. This time it is not due to snow. Our temperatures are -15 degrees below zero. The concern is for children that stand at bus stops or walk to school. Frost bite and hypothermia can occur if you are not dressed in layers with all skin covered. It is a beautiful day. The sun is shinning and the snow is sparkling like diamonds. We are watching a storm system forming in the south. It is forcasted to travel up the coast. If it tracks toward the west we will be likely to have a significant snow. If it tracks to the east we will be less impacted. Wednesday will be approximately the time we will see this system in our area.

1/25/2011 Today it is much warmer. Our temperature is 25 degrees F. It is cloudy and gloomy. No sparkles on the snow today. The latest forcast models of the snowstorm we are tracking looks like it will go to the east and miss us. New York City will have lots of rain or snow.

1/26/2011 30 degrees F. We are in for a wonderful day. It is cloudy and we have a chance of snow showers but nothing acccumulating. The storm in NYC will not be impacting us today!

1/27/2011 Today it is 28 degrees F. It is another cloudy day. We had some snow flurries earlier this morning. In higher areas in our area there was one to two inches of snow. There are two storm systems developing that may impact our area. One is potentially coming on Saturday and the other on Tuesday. It appears to be a repeating system from the Gulf of Mexico.

1/28/2011 27 degrees F. today. There is a light snow shower now and very cloudy. There are little snow showers forcasted for the coming weekend but no accumulation expected. The temperatures will be lower by about ten degrees over the weekend.

1/31/2011 Very cold day today. It was only 2 degrees F. When I left my house this morning. The children are home as today is a Conference Day. We have a winter weather watch in our area today. It is supposed to snow heavily tonight with 3 - 7 inches of snow. Then tomorrow night a second storm will come with either ice or snow depending on the temperatures. February will start more wintery then January did!
