We have not seen any Precipitation over the past 14 days. I’ve only used my snowblower twice this season. Boring!
Sunny skies and unseasonable Heat moved into the area mid-week reaching a Hi of 60° at my station, otherwise hovering in the mid to high 50’s. Our average Temp at this point is 20°. There was obvious Snow melt taking place that left created soggy grassy areas and damp hard surfaces. I’m hoping that moisture is seeping into the ground. My official Snowpack has dwindled from 4” to .5”, which has been carrying a water content of approx. 25% through the week. Of course, there are still larger Snow piles around but are disappearing quickly as well. My area lake is not looking well now with the edges melted away and some areas appearing to be slushy. But it is only mid-February after all, and March can be a pretty active Snow month. It will probably be like two separate Winters this season. Next week, Temps are supposed to hover around the freezing mark, which will determine what form any precipitation will be.
Forecast: Continued unseasonably Warm with Temps hovering in the mid 40’s to low 50’s, then slowly dropping below freezing towards the end of week and even reaching single digits over next weekend. Light Winds with Mostly to Partly Cloudy skies and a chance of mixed Precipitation Tues and Wed.
