The ten day forecasts are all over the map. National Weather Service does not agree with the local forecasts. Lots of uncertainty about snow. Par for the course. Moderately sunny but the wind makes it uncomfortable. The wind should be diminishing and we aren't looking at any record lows. Maybe a little below average for the date, and the dewpoints are quite low. I'll just have to see what develops.
No single digits and high temps well above freezing and only small chances of snow flurries, so it won't really be that bad. I feel like we are dodging a bullet here. Has it been worse? You bet. In any case my pantry is well stocked and everything is winterized. I hope this cold spell will be the worst we see this winter.
Next week will be on the cold side, but nothing very extreme. Highs above freezing during this cold spell will make it endurable. Snow flurries possible but not likely. No accumulations. The worst of this winter event will be well east of us, it seems.
After a few warm days, then the coldest weather so far. No precipitations is likely and highs will remain above freezing. Noises are being made about a polar vortex and I hope that remains nothing but noise.
Nothing extreme in the forecast yet. No snow. I hope for minimal winter. Plenty of sunshine.
