First some thoughts on this weekends storm:
And now looking ahead ... Winter has returned. It is cold. It is white. It is icy. Get used to it. Winter is here to stay for a while.
This above statement does not mean I am still doubtful on an extended period of bitter cold. Brief shots of bitter cold, like today into Tues, I see. But a 7-10 period? Still skeptical. But winter establishing itself and giving us chances for snow, I do see. And I see several chances coming up over the next two weeks. But we’ll take it one week at a time. This week:
Please resist the temptation to think 35 degrees and rain is not winter weather. It is around here. There is a reason we only average 30-40 inches (valleys -ridges) of snow a year … it rains in winter. 35 and rain is cold and miserable. However, there is a strong signal for a potential significant storm late next Sun – early Tue timeframe. And yes, we would be cold enough for snow. This would likely be a coastal system … if it does develop. The potential is there for it and for it to be significant. But time will tell … Until then, enjoy and stay warm.
