Winter Weather 21/22

We’re chronologically past midwinter.
Get some while ya can. It’s there now.

Still holding out for a big storm sometime in the future. Some of our biggest snowstorms have been in March, fingers crossed. That said, the last two weekends were phenomenal. Sure wish the cold would've stuck around. But if it gets rock hard, I'm ready, supposed to be in the teens again Sunday. I just got a grind and edge sharpening. Sure could've used it on Olympian at Greek last Saturday afternoon. It was scary.

March looks to be pretty warm, so we'll need some extra luck for an old school March dumping.

Winter is on life support.

If my choices are A) a bad start (inconsistent cold, freeze-thaws into late January) and a strong Feb/March or B) a strong start (cold temps, no significant freeze-thaw events) and a weak Feb/March……I’ll take A, eight days a week!

Going into President's Weekend in VT....buckle up!

Another pattern change will begin to take place on Thursday as a
surface low develops in the lee of the Rocky Mountains. Initially,
this system will be too far west to impact us but a strong warm
front followed by a cold front will develop over the central US on
Thursday. This warm front will lift through the region on Thursday
with the first appreciable chance of precipitation in the extended
period. Based on thermal profiles, it looks like precipitation will
mainly be rain but a few colder spots may see a rain/snow mix before
temperatures warm into the mid 40s to near 50 degrees Thursday
afternoon. The aforementioned low pressure system will quickly move
northeastward toward the Great Lakes Friday morning while rapidly
intensifying. This is where things get tricky. The track of this low
pressure system will be everything. If it goes well to our west like
the GFS/ECMWF solutions, we should see an anomalously high PWAT air
mass and potential for moderate to heavy rain. If it moves over us,
we are looking at the potential for moderate to heavy snowfall.
There will be a strong temperature gradient which makes the forecast
a week from now all the tricker. The good news is we have plenty of
time to analyze this system and dial it in. Should we see the warmer
and wetter solution, we will have to look for appreciable snow melt
and rainfall leading to potential flooding impacts. Stay tuned!

Today would have been a great day for March! Not so much for mid-February.

I have to admit, I washed my car and really enjoyed not having to bang ice out of the water trough.

However, we really do need the cold, not only for skiing, but to knock the bugs as well, especially ticks.

This is so true. I've never, ever, seen a tick before until this past year. I've picked 8 or so off my dogs. Everytime I do it pisses me off. They're nasty frs
