And we have a strong ice fog. Forecast discussion at NWS: "SKIES TO<br />CLEAR AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT WITH BITTER COLD TEMPERATURES...WITH -10<br />TO -20 DEGREES COMMON IN MOST VALLEY LOCATIONS.

For example, the rain gague at the Lebanon (OR) Airport apparently *starts* at 37 inches. http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/Lockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960762797349483760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693614218792476252.post-39242919785514927932013-01-12T16:58:43.994-08:002013-01-12T16:58:43.994-08:00I'm not really sure if we're in an inversi...I'm not really sure if we're in an inversion right now (though we were a week ago). It's easier to tell in a closed basin or valley like the one Reno sits in (at least for me) -- although I'm sure I could find the temperature by altitude on some site.<br /><br />Where did I see that, anyway?Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131032620978696727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693614218792476252.post-53380620986658596152013-01-12T16:45:49.904-08:002013-01-12T16:45:49.904-08:00We're in the same situation here- got down to ...We're in the same situation here- got down to 21F last night, didn't break 32F today. We're not in a true inversion here... yet. It gets colder with elevation. But warmer air aloft is expected to come in next week, but not vigorously enough to scour cold air out of the valley. That can get pretty ugly (though not as bad as Medford/Rogue River Valley area), since smoke and exhaust gets trapped on the valley floor.<br /><br />And yes, freezing fog and clear sunny is forecast for the next week. I'm spoiled, and don't like it this cold.Lockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960762797349483760noreply@blogger.com
