general serenity... (am.28.feb.12)>

UPDATE @ 10:42AM... I have 0.10" (3mm) of rain and melted sleet/hail up here.  The temp has dipped to 48F (9C)... so our high temp today has been revised downward a bit.  That was fun... let's see if we end up getting another one of those little episodes before the day is out... or if we can coax the sun back.


UPDATE @ 10:23AM... There is a little sleet/small hail mixed with the rain up here at the top of Mcleod.  Wondering what is happening up in Dharamkot and Naddi.  This is an indication of the cold air aloft, associated with our upper-level disturbance passing through...


UPDATE @ 10:10AM... Well it looks like the sky is falling out there at the moment.  We have a thundershower that has developed overhead which is putting a dent in our "serenity"!

It's a partly cloudy morning... but it looks like there could be a few light showers up along the mountains.  I've recorded an overnight low temp of 51.2F (10.7C) which is mild, but not quite as balmy as it was yesterday morning at this time.

The weather pattern remains fairly quiet... we still have a weak upper-level disturbance in the area, which is stirring up the clouds and those few sprinkles and light showers just above us... but it's nothing to write home about.  By tomorrow, a weak ridge of high pressure will be building in the mid- and upper-levels of the atmosphere.  That should set us up for a few days of generally sunny skies, and slowly warming temps.  Things look good as we turn the page to March.

It's possible that we could have a pretty dramatic surge of warmer air by the weekend, in advance of a potential rain-maker moving in late Saturday into Sunday.  Signs of Spring...
