January started somewhat mild with slowly increasing Temperatures reaching a Hi of 47° by mid-month, then shifting gears and took a week to remind us of the bitter chills by dropping to -20° over the course of a week and departs with a measly 4.4” of Snowfall. The Snowpack showed significant melt from 10” to 4.5” rather quickly. The remaining pack is a much harder mix of ice and snow making it difficult to dig down and retrieve a core. It’s definitely been a meager Winter so far. Heck, several of those deep South States have received more Snow this weekend than we have, including total Snowpack. February has just started off with a quick early morning Snow Shower of 1.2” and a rising Temp(s) from 19°.
Forecast: Temps slowly rising with highs reaching above freezing by mid-week. Partly Cloudy increasing to Mostly Cloudy skies. Light Winds and no Precipitation expected.
