To get things started on this Monday morning I thought that I would bore you with some weather stats. We are now halfway through the month of February and winter is still yet to rear its ugly head...at least around these parts. Snowfall in February thus far has been all of a trace, and for the entire season we are sitting at 12.8 inches. Most of that came down in December and immediately melted off. As for total precip. though, the numbers are a bit surprising. While it seems that it has been raining all the time, and yesterday we did pick up about a third of an inch of rain, the liquid received since January 1st, rain and melted snow, is running a bit below normal...just a bit. We have recorded 2.48 inches of moisture in the past month and a half, which is just 15 hundredths of an inch short of the 30 year average. Oh, by the way, those averages get recomputed this year...an every 10 year deal...like the census.
There is more rain in the near future, but drier days are ahead starting Wednesday through the end of the week. After a cloudy and foggy start today we should see some sun breaks by the afternoon. Highs will be in the mid to upper 40s. Wet weather arrives again later tonight into Tuesday, then from Wednesday into the weekend a high pressure ridge will move in the provide us with quieter weather. This time of year high pressure is a breeding ground for fog, so expect a lot of that with daily highs in the 40s and lows in the low 30s, near freezing.
