THE HEADLINE TODAY? NOT THE SNOW - BUT THE COLD..........I TALKED YESTERDAY ABOUT THE COLD AIR UP NORTH, AND HOW IT HAD MADE IT INTO THE UPPER PLAINS. ALL INDICATIONS ARE POINTING TO OUR BACKDOOR RIGHT NOW.......
A COLD HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM HAS SPILLED SOUTH OUT OF CANADA, POSSIBLY SAVING THE UPPER MID-WEST FROM A MAJOR SNOWSTORM NEXT WEEK. A STORM IS FORECAST TO MOVE THRU KANSAS THIS WEEKEND, PICKUP ENERGY AND SET IT'S SITES ON THE EAST COAST BY TUESDAY. BEFORE IT DOES THE STORM WILL TRACK JUST TO OUR SOUTHEAST (I HOPE) THRU MO. BRINGING US LT SNOW AND GUSTY NE WINDS SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. WE MAY HAVE DODGED A BULLET HERE - BUT WE'LL PAY FOR IT IN THE LONG RUN........WE HAVE SET THE STAGE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. I MEAN WELL BELOW. THIS COLD AIR IS ALIVE AND WELL AND IS PLUNGING A CHUNK OF ARCTIC AIR INTO IOWA THIS WEEKEND AND WILL LAST AT LEAST THRU THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS SHOULD KEEP MAX TEMPS STRUGGLING TO MAKE THE 20S...WITH MINIMUM TEMPS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS. WE'LL SEE CHILLY NW WINDS FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEK AND MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. WE MAY CONTINUE WITH THE NW FLOW THE REMAINDER OF THIS MONTH. THIS MEANS WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPS......THE WORST PART OF THE COUPLE OF WEEKS AHEAD JUST MIGHT BE THE LACK OF SNOW MELT....I THINK WE ARE LOOKING AT THE COLDEST FEB SINCE 1979...............
HERE'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT......I RECEIVED THIS QUESTION FROM A LADY FROM MASON CITY BACK IN DECEMBER: Have you ever heard that 90 days after a fog it is supposed to storm (or rain or precipitate)? It seems like just about every time we get major precipitation, Bill reminds me that 90 days prior, we had a dense fog. Maybe it is an old wives’ tale. One TV station reported ahwile back that there really isn’t any truth to the 90-day saying.
IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE I WAS REMINDED OF THAT SAYING MYSELF A MONTH AGO...... A FELLA REMINDED ME OF THE FOG WE HAD IN DECEMBER......GUESS WHAT? WE HAD 20 DAYS OF DENSE FOG IN DECEMBER.
MIGHT MAKE FOR A VERY INTERESTING FIRST WEEK OR SO IN MARCH?????? REMEMBER MY TARGET DATE? LET'S MOVE IT UP A WEEK.................
19TH/FRIDAY - LT SNOW (1 Inch)
21ST-22ND/SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY - LT SNOW - GUSTY NE WINDS (2 Inches) Have to watch this one..........
23RD/TUESDAY - LT SNOWSHOWERS
25TH-27TH/THURSDAY THRU SATURDAY - LT SNOWSHOWERS
