| After a week of warm temperatures that started with a high of 60°, then slowly dropping through the 50’s and 40’s, the month of March tricked us again with a Winter Storm turning to a Blizzard (Warning). Early predictions had threatened us with a possible 14-18”, though at the time of this writing, we are maybe approaching 10”. Strong Winds have kicked in causing blowing and drifting, which will continue through most of tonight.
At any rate, we’ll see how this affects the dryness here, as It seems the ground had finally thawed a little, so maybe some of the melt will be able so soak in.
Forecast: Possible sub-zero Temperature on Monday, then climbing into the 40’s mid-week to close the week with low 50’s; Partly to Mostly Cloudy skies with random Fog; No Precipitation expected other than a chance of a couple inches of Snow on Tuesday. |
