Winter Just Keeps Hanging On....

Wow… The NWS discussion this morning is bearing some tough news for those ready for spring…. It looks like winter will be hanging on with a vengeance for a while. I’ll try to paraphrase the key points here… 1. There will be snow today (up to 3 inches) on the coast and in SW Washington. We should be spared the majority of the white stuff today… Maybe a dusting… (Although, looking at the Doppler right now there is a lot of blue coming in our direction…) 2. On Wednesday another (slightly stronger) system will be moving in from the North. Forecasts are anywhere from a dusting to 3 inches depending on location later in the day. 3. Thursday… Probably clear. 4. The long term forecast is interesting. Plus, it is a simple read…. Here is the text: .LONG TERM... The pattern looks quite active during this period due to a series of storms moving across the region from the northwest. The screaming message is that it will be chilly and wet. Expect a strong system to impact the area the end of this week for the possibility of significant lowland snow in some areas, especially within any convergence zones. Another, possibly potent, lowland snow-maker might impact the CWA early next week. For now, look below normal temps and above normal precip during this period.
