Cold pattern to persist through the end of February 2014!

As we get ready to enter the last week of February 2014, the National Weather Service is calling for cool conditions all across the Midwest, including Taney County Missouri, where I make my home. It seems those pesky Canadians have an over abundance of cold air and want to share that fact with us.

This pattern of a cold northwesterly flow has been with us for much of the winter season and it is hopeful that this pattern will change as we enter into March with the official start of Spring occurring on the 20 th of that month! As of this post, my area in southwest Missouri is still running about six degrees cooler than what is the historical average. This fact has translated into higher than normal heating cost for thousands, with everyone looking forward to a warm up in the near term!

Rainfall totals have also been meager for the month with my location near Forsyth, MO recording only .76 of an inch of rain versus a 2.99 inch average. Chances for additional rainfall also appear to be slim to none for the balance of the month! See more weather updates at www.taneyservices.com!
