But the rain was much needed and we'll have a full day of it today and a full day of rain tomorrow. And Thursday night it stops. No freezing or sub-freezing temperatures in the entire period, so no ice. No snow. Just rain. That works.
Rain, and maybe a lot, and no snow, no ice, no sleet, no freezing rain-- just rain, and that's not bad. I accomplished many things today, too! That's certainly not bad!
That cold spell lasted all of one day, with one rather cold morning, and we were out of it and improving rapidly. Wednesday and Thursday chances of rain are very good, and it will be RAIN, and not snow, not sleet, not freezing rain. It will not be cold enough for that, and that is all to the good, as the playa lakes are low again. This sort of weather at this time of year likes me well.
But far from the worst we've seen at this time of year. Maybe a few snowflakes and eventually some rain chances. Rain we need. Snow? No.
Seasonal norms would be quite uncomfortable. I like the weather we've been having. I really hate winter so this is great. We might hit 75 F today! Maybe some wintery precipitation early next week, but then seasonal norms, at least for a time. Sooner or later, the polar vortex and the bomb cyclone and the rest of that dismal routine...
