Blessed Snow

[HantaYo]

Just measured 11.5" of new snow overnight with .82" of water content    Light snow currently.  A nice reprieve from the last two weeks of temperatures in the unseasonably 50?F's and winds as high as 44mph.   Warm temperatures and winds melted most of the snow on the ground we have had since November.  Just a strange El Nino.

Dear HantaYo and WeatherCat drought sufferers,

Just measured 11.5" of new snow overnight with .82" of water content    Light snow currently.  A nice reprieve from the last two weeks of temperatures in the unseasonably 50?F's and winds as high as 44mph.   Warm temperatures and winds melted most of the snow on the ground we have had since November.  Just a strange El Nino.

Glad you are getting something.  I'm noticing at the medium range models aren't doing very well anymore.  They aren't agreeing as much as before and they waffle from run to run.  There are two weak storms that might reach us this weekend - or not - depending on the run.  Alas, the models then agree on the high pressure ridge reforming early next week with another round of potentially record-braking high temperatures.   

I never thought that I would hate nice weather in winter, but I sure hate it now.

Oh well, . . . . .Edouard

I am worried this storm was just a short reprieve.  Did you get any rain in the last week?  Seems like rain was showing up on CoCoRAHS recently.

Dear HantaYo and WeatherCat drought watchers,

Yes we got rain last week, but we won't get more than a few traces this week.  There was some indication of rain toward the end of next week, but the latest discussion doesn't mention it.  The climate predication center keeps us warm and dry though March 10th.

It sure is looking like the nightmare of last year again . . . .
