Now after the bulk of the winter of 2012-13 has come and
gone without nary a flake to be seen, comes back to back ice and snow in late
February?
The National Weather Bureau is once again posturing and couching their wording when it comes to describing a frontal system that is due to nose into our area on Monday and Tuesday of the coming work week. A key phrase in their wording is the concept of ‘shifting south’, as in ‘the accumulation of snowfall will increase (a lot) should this system shift further to the south than what the computer models currently predict.’ (Wording that once again reminds me that weather forecasting is more about probability then it is about certainty).
Just prior to this potential winter storm should be a
relatively decent Sunday. A day that will give all of us home bound folks a
chance to get out and frolic in temperatures that could touch 50 degrees! (Be
still my frigid heart). Then, it’s back into the house to stoke the fireplace
and await whatever the forces of nature will bring. And, everyone please take heart - spring is just a few weeks away!
