Sunday's stats:
Early morning low temp: 36.9F (2.7C)
Afternoon high temp: 48.9F (9.4C)
Rainfall: trace
Mountain cloudiness has quickly dissipated at sunset this evening, leaving us with mostly clear skies. We started off with lots of sun today, but then instability over the mountains led to a pretty impressive build-up of clouds, and even a few random sprinkles and very light showers between about 3 and 5pm. There could have even been a little sleet or snow mixed in with the raindrops mainly in upper parts of the area -- but there was nothing measurable at my location. Temperatures were a bit milder than yesterday, and actually very close to normal for the date.
Our Friday PM through early Saturday AM snowfall continues to melt, with very little evidence of it in the immediate McLeod area. But it's going to take a lot longer to melt the 2-3 feet of snow further up above Galu Temple and on to Triund. However, we do have a gradual warming trend on the way, with more sun than clouds expected during the coming several days. Temperatures should actually balance out slightly warmer than normal for the latter half of January as we make our way through the week.
There is still a relatively weak upper-level disturbance scheduled for Tuesday night into Wednesday, but right now it appears that our prospects of significant rain and/or snow will be very small. Looking further ahead, things look quiet for the India vs. England ODI cricket match at Dharamsala stadium next Sunday, which will have the eyes of millions of Indian and international viewers on our little corner of the world.
