A quick review of Friday’s winter storm: Snow forecast was OK. Most areas performed as expected. Didn’t think we’d see any 12 inch amounts. We didn’t. Figured the 10+ inch amounts would be limited. They were. In fact, here at the WHW home base, I was one of those 10+ with 10.7 inches. I don’t recall seeing my location at the top of the list before. Well, it happened this time. What do I win? \ud83d\ude09 It was fascinating to see the shift in the consistency of the snow between the northern limit of the warming and where it didn’t quite reach. Up here in my area north and northwest, a lower water content, fluffier snow, while a fairly quick shift to a wetter \/ heavier snowfall going south from here, but it all makes sense when you break down the temperature profile of the atmosphere during the event. So we made it through another significant winter storm and now we’ve had a few of them this winter. Are we done? Time will tell. But we are done with those kinds of threats at least for this 5-day period. We start with a cold\/dry Saturday, and a temperature moderation you won’t really notice on Sunday as the wind picks up ahead of an approaching cold front. That cold front may bring a band of snow showers with it as it passes by tomorrow evening, but whether or not you see those in your area, you won’t miss the reinforcing shot of cold it brings in for Monday, the final day of February. Wouldn’t you know that is also the day I am planning on traveling to the Atlantic ocean (Hampton Beach NH) to put my feet in the water – something I now do at least once a month year-round. Timing is everything and who doesn’t love a little frozen foot adventure? Last month after I did that I put my feet in the snow that was on the beach (just 2 days after the blizzard). Anyone want to come join me on Monday? Weather looks great! Once I can feel my feet again and we get to March, we’ll see a little more active weather. I’m watching for 2 systems, one to pass by late Tuesday to early Wednesday, and another late Wednesday to early Thursday. Neither of these look significant, but both can cause a little bit of messy weather just the same, as we’ll have temperatures in the marginal category at least so that we will have to consider other precipitation types than rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
