a quiet end to 2017... (pm.29.dec.17)>

Although I am not posting every day, I am looking at the array of available computer model data and projections both morning and evening... waiting for something of interest to report to you.  Unfortunately, the overall weather pattern remains inactive and very dull across northern India, and across most of the Indian subcontinent, for that matter.  On the other hand, I guess that's good news for the throngs of travelers who are in transit during holiday/vacation as we approach the new year.

This December has been an ALL OR NOTHING kind of month -- with three days of very heavy rain (and mountain snowfall) on the 11th to the 13th which delivered more than the normal amount of precipitation for the entire month.  However, that event was both preceded and followed by totally dry, mild and uneventful weather.

Right now, all the data trends indicate generally quiet conditions to continue through the first week of January and 2018... but I am interested in hints of a pattern shift around the 8th or 9th of Jan, that could bring us our next round of significant precipitation, and an accompanying drop in temps.  Stay tuned as we watch those potential developments...
