ONE DAY OF PEACE, THEN BACK TO NASTY

The loud clap of thunder I heard in Dundalk, MD yesterday afternoon for me confirmed that Spring has arrived once and for all. Once that sun can work on those flowers and lawns, we will have a bloomin' good time. It seems clear the atmosphere has rid itself of a long standing (sitting?) constipation, and the NAO has retreated to neutral, where it should be this time of year, taking the cold with it. Systems are now following a normal progression across the country, with sun followed by rain followed by sun again...and repeating every few days. This will be the pattern now for the next week to 10 days. Get outside and enjoy the sunshine today and Wednesday, unfortunately there is nastiness still lurking for the weekend, as the rain returns Thursday and will hang around into Saturday. Improvements are on the schedule heading into the first week of April.

Yes, snow showers for central PA and WV on Saturday-Sunday. Think of it as winter's dying gasp.

May be out of internet access while on vacation with family. If you don't hear from me until Sunday, fret not. I will be back. We will be in northwestern PA (Crawford County) until Saturday.

Oops, I posted as Lee, that's actually my brother in law at his house in Altoona. The previous message was from me.

I think we are in for a blizzard in winter 05-06. Just my opinion, but it looks pretty good in my book. A good 1-2 foot storm is in line in January. For now enjoy the warm weather, for winter is just a matter of months away.

Is 3 to 6 inches of RAIN really in the cards for us here in Boston this weekend?

Some talk of the rain changing into snow that could become significant in VT...any chance at all some of that snow, even if it does not stick will make it all the way down to Boston?

60's by next week.
