Thanks Liz.... I have not decided if I will continue the blog that I had before on blogspot.

Commented Dec 30, 2012 on Season snow totals update.... also, an update on the New Year's storm at John Belski's Weather Blog

Any snow system will have a wide range on the models 36-48 hours ahead of time. Check back later and again tomorrow for more updates.

Commented Dec 27, 2012 on Regional snow totals for the season so far..... Next snowstorm chance at John Belski's Weather Blog

Hey, I just posted what the maps are showing....it is too early for a specific forecast. As I mentioned....you can't come out with a snow total until the storm comes out of the Rockies. It is still in the Pacific Ocean. However, if this storm goes like the Euro says... we will get dumped on big time. 4 inches is a snowstorm here. Most winters we do not get a storm with that much snow. Snow lovers are on stand-by for this one.

Commented Dec 22, 2012 on Here is the latest on the big snowstorm for next week at John Belski's Weather Blog

The sun is setting later but the sun is also rising later so we have not reached our shortest day of the year yet.

Roseanne...many utilities will subscribe to a private service or directly use the government (NOAA) forecasts.

Wooly worms moving steadily across the road is considered normal. When they stop a lot....that is slow. Take note of that 1994 reference to the crickets.....that was a wild winter.

Blaize...I am with you on this. I am still watching the clearing trying to take place over southern IL and western KY......JB

I saw a few but not too bright and it was cold so I went back in.

In northern Minnesota they go crazy when it hits 90 degrees.

Lisa...thanks...I fixed

Commented Sep 14, 2012 on Weekend festivals at John Belski's Weather Blog

Hi Barbara.... I myself think it is going to be a snowy winter. We will see if the signs change as we get into October and November. It is still early in the game.

Chance for rain on Saturday at Kings Island is at 40% for now....that may go up depending on how fast Isaac moves north.

Commented Aug 30, 2012 on 10 inches of rain for Indiana??? at John Belski's Weather Blog

Brian....excellent observation. 1937 was the prime example but this has happened in other years also. I will be posting some early winter thoughts this week but it is more of a temperature forecast then precip. total forecast. If the drought stays into early winter, then the hard ground theory may come into play to a certain extent.

Commented Aug 15, 2012 on Comparing the current drought with the 1930's at John Belski's Weather Blog

Right now it looks dry in the AM for Holiday World. There is a chance for a passing storm in the afternoon but anything for a longer period will be after 7PM. The main severe threat is at night.

Commented Aug 8, 2012 on Thursday severe risk is at 30% at John Belski's Weather Blog

Seattle's all time record high was 103 set in 2009

Commented Aug 5, 2012 on First 90 in Seattle in 2 years today at John Belski's Weather Blog

Areas with storms...over an inch.... Some areas...zero

Fixing that 155 to 115 thanks

Commented Jul 31, 2012 on All-time record high minimum temp in Tulsa at John Belski's Weather Blog

Hardin Co. had some downpours near Lebanon Jct. Everything else was in the western part of the county, especially around Eastview where a few spots may have had an inch.

Commented Jul 9, 2012 on Sunday rain totals at John Belski's Weather Blog

There may some strong storms on Sunday...too early to tell how widespread it will be.

Commented Jul 6, 2012 on Potential for Louisville's hottest day ever on Saturday at John Belski's Weather Blog

This has to be frustrating and scary for the farmers to see this unrelenting heat and drought. For most people, this is an inconvenience but it's a lot more for the farmers.

Commented Jul 6, 2012 on 2:00 heat update at John Belski's Weather Blog

Mark....you may have had a half inch that was mostly east of Louisville. Only sprinkles were at the airport weather station and many areas no rain at all. As Brain said, with abundant sun and heat, things dry out fast. Most farmers in southern Indiana and west Kentucky will tell you they are struggling with moisture right now......JB

Commented Jun 15, 2012 on 10 days with no rain at John Belski's Weather Blog

I have seen gas at 3.85 this morning in New Albany, Scottsburg and Seymour. Some stations are still in the 330s.

Commented Jun 12, 2012 on Gas going up 50 cents in some areas at John Belski's Weather Blog

I always thought they were called tornado sirens.
