Vol XVI # 007 – Sunny Today… Snow Tomorrow

Blue dominated the sky this morning playing host to a few lingering clouds continuing for the rest of the afternoon. In spite of the temperatures being in the lower 20’s, the sun managed to melt half of the last clipper snow, just in time to make room for the next clipper. Received an Email from Biff Steel with news that… Read more »

Vol XVI # 004 – A April Snow Day

No surprises this morning when the snow began to fall except for the amount.  The forecast said 1 inch accumulation and we got 3.  Actually it was a lot of fun to see half dollar sized snowflakes falling at times.  Tomorrow is good for 3 more.  Tuesday back up into the 40’s, so much for April snow.  

Vol XVI # 003 – April Fools Day

No April Fools Day jokes today, in the past we have had a lot a fun, especially with our Sheriff’s Department    Below are the LR’s for April first, 2001 to 2015.  No foolin, today is a beautiful April 1st.  The weather people are predicting 3 clippers before the weekend is over and that’s no foolin.    

Vol XVI # 002- Down By the Riverside

A very tough day to go out and take a picture, the thought being, take a picture of what?  A drizzly morning with limited visibility.  Besides, it was really chilly, especially with a north wind.  This is not a new situation because for the past 15 years I’ve had a lot days just like today.   So what do I do?…  I go and… Read more »

Vol XVI # 001- First Day of the 16th Year

It never entered my mind that morning, March 30th, 2001 that I would be posting the 5,477th Leland Report 15 years later.  It wasn’t in the plan because there was no plan, some things just happen.  Today the LR begins it’s 16th year as I work on my 84th.  I don’t think about when this ends as it is part of my daily… Read more »

Vol XV # 366 – Final Day of the 15th Year

We are having a nice day to wind up our 15th Leland Report year.  It would be nicer if it was a little warmer, but that will come. I discovered that this past April the Leland Reports # was wrong and some how ended up today with 367 days when it should be 366 (Leap Year added)    

Vol XV # 363 – A Really Good Friday

  It stopped snowing last night around 10, which means it had snowed for 24 hours.  There were reports of 18 inches in various locations.  That being said, it was mentally the worst winter event ever, when I had convinced myself that winter was over three weeks ago.  It wasn’t over , I know that now. As I was rejoicing this morning about… Read more »

Vol XV # 362 – 24 Hours Later

It started snowing last night around 10 and at the moment it’s still snowing with a total so far of about 4 inches.  A lot better than the 18 inches forecast.  Some parts of the lower got nailed with 15.  Down south got power outages due to icing.  Current snow falling is on the light side, hopefully stays that way.  I’m… Read more »

Vol XV # 361 – Waking Up Tomorrow… 5 to10 or More

It has been a very nice early Spring day so far, 40 degrees, periods of sunshine, but soon to return to Winter.  Heavy wet snow is predicted for the overnight hours with threat of power outages.  Hopefully we will have internet access for the Report.
