Many of you who are reading this are probably thinking the same thing: Nice to see for a little while, but "no thanks" on this much snow for long stretches. Trekking to the shed with the wheel-barrow for firewood made me feel like I was in New England. It was a surreal experience having that kind of weather hit here in Arkansas. Neither Sarah or I think we've ever been in temps that cold. We're still surprised it got down to -7 here. The National Weather Service forecast for Friday is sunny skies with a high of 35 and a low of 15. The main roads in Fort Smith are clear but most of the side roads are still covered in snow. We made a loop around Chaffee Crossing and noticed Wells Lake was frozen over but starting to melt. Fiona fell asleep holding her pizza from Casey's General Store in Barling. Today we got out for the first time this week for an hour to try and get the kids to sleep. I've already slipped once, but it wasn't as bad as that time at Soldier Field in Chicago when I broke my Pentax camera. But I'll be careful if I go out tomorrow since it's expected to get down to 8 degrees tonight and that will freeze back over. The sound of snow melting off the south side roof onto the patio is a calming reminder this will be over soon. The high today here at my house has been 37, about 4 degrees higher than expected. Wind chill values between 4 and 14 are expected with a southwest wind around 5 mph. here, the temperature is 12 degrees with no wind, 91% humidity and a barometric pressure of 30.26 and steady.Īccording to the National Weather Service monitoring station at the Fort Smith Regional Airport (Latitude: 35.33°N, Longitude: 94.37°W, Elevation: 436 feet) the outlook for today is sunny, with a high near 34.
