Weather It Is (Both Cats Went Out)

Good Late Night:

Since 2:10 A.M, the dog requested to go out (I obliged).  Now, it's 3:10 A.M and both cats have headed out into the night. It's been days since the cats agreed to go out.  My guess is that these animals know something I don't.  They're ignoring the "macro" conditions (i.e, very cold temperatures forecast aloft for the early morning), to brave the outdoors, apparently without any fear of being a tad cold around the ears.

Extremely temperatures are still forecast to occur in the early morning, and areas of precipitation are located to the south of us, east of Ashdod, and since the hour I first woke up: precipitation has developed over the sea.  And now, I think I see some ice pellets mixing in with the rain, which has just started.

Yet, without a real good dose of heavy precipitation (i.e, convective precipitation with, perhaps, a good dose of thunder), it just won't get cold enough to at least whiten the ground.  We're not talking about a large amount of snow, we're just discussing the possibility of a last winter "Hurrah" after what started out so promising (and actually did happen at the time).

One of the cats just came back in.

We'll see.
