a quiet weekend... (pm.24.feb.12)>

we're in the midst of a very nice evening on this third day of losar.  there is a greater sun to cloud ratio than we've had at sunset for more than a week.  despite that greater percentage of sunshine, the high was actually lower than  it's been in a few days... i recorded 55.6F (13.1C).

february is drawing to a close, and it looks like this rather turbulent month will finish up quietly.  there is still a weak circulation in the upper atmosphere... leftovers of the system that has been hanging around all week... but it is soon to disappear completely, leaving us with a generally flat pattern for several days.  as i mentioned this morning, one of the computer models has been hinting at a fast-moving system sweeping through here on monday, so we'll have to watch that; but i'm opting to leave rain out of the forecast for now.

temperatures will be on the cool side at night, but approaching a near normal "mild zone" during the daylight hours.  if things pan out (like we'd all like), we may even be feeling a hint of spring in the air by the middle of next week...
