Three inches of snow overnight.

I'm on my way to the first meeting of the season!

It's chilly here. 43 degrees at 10am and it's expected to stay in the 40's all day.

Tomorrows low is expected to be 31. If it gets there it will be the first time it's dipped below freezing this season.
 
We set another record this morning....7 Degrees (F) at 7AM. The Old Farmers Almanac says the Midwest will have a colder than normal Winter, and I'm starting to believe they are right.
 
I noticed my TPMS light came on this morning. I checked my tire pressures and they were all between 26 and 27. I usually set them at 35 when it's hot. I figure they are down from me not checking them for a long time plus the sudden drop in temperature, and that's why the light came on. I aired them up to 30 psi all around. I hope that fixes it. If not I'll go up to 32.

The tire pressure monitor light first started showing up in luxury cars in the late 90's but now is standard in all cars sold in the United States as of Sept. 01, 2007. It is time to introduce you to the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) and the sometimes pesky tire pressure monitor light.
Tire Pressure Monitor Light As we come out of fall and winter arrives, our temperatures begin to drop drastically over night. When it comes to our cars, steep temperature drops can trigger a sign of fall that we don't welcome: a yellow or orange low tire pressure warning light.We have good news for you, though. When your light comes on, your car is simply telling you that you need more air in your tire and this time of year, the warning is usually related to chilly nights.


Here's what's happening:


  • Several vehicles that are 2000 and newer cars and trucks are equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor System, which triggers your dashboard warning light when the air in your tires drops just a few PSI below the recommended tire psi.

  • Your tire pressure will decrease about 1 psi for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit the outside air temperature drops. (Likewise, it increases about 1 psi for every 10 degrees when the temperature rises.) If your tire pressure was last adjusted during the day or after just coming off the road, the air pressure could be related to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. So now, the temperature drops over night overnight temperature hits the low 40s, your tire pressure will drop down by 5 psi, almost certainly turning on the tire pressure warning light .
To remedy your low tire pressure light, a simply check or adjustment of the air in your tires is all that is required.

Funny you should mention this. My tire light was on this morning so I hotfooted it over to ask my car guy what was going on (I was afraid I had a slow leak or something) -- he told me it was the change in temperature and put more air in my tires.

I was really relieved, as I do NOT need the expense of new tires right now. This last month it seems like every time I turn around something needs fixing and $$.
 
Today there is a winter advisory starting this afternoon around 4 until 7am tomorrow
it will be a mix of snow/rain some places could have freezing rain.In the city where I live we'll get a couple of inches of snow,not a big deal,temps in the 30's Sue
 
Chilly for the Alabama Gulf Coast this time of year. It was 34 this morning. Up to 38 now a 9:45 am. The expected high is 52.
 
3C/37F here in Toronto. Mixed precipitation. We were out today and it was not windy, so I didn't really feel the cold much. Rest of the week is supposed to be overcast.
 
I wish we got snow ploughs but we don't.... we have to just risk driving on snowed roads... I hate driving in the snow, !!

Today at just after 9am it's damp and thick fog , temps are 50 deg F
 
We got about 2 inches of heavy,wet snow I call 'slop' because its a mixture of rain/snow
