calm in the near-term... (pm.13.jan.19)>

Sunday's stats:

Low temp: 36.0ºF (2.2ºC)
High temp: 46.9ºF (8.3ºC)
Precipitation: 0.25" (6mm)
Total precip since Sat night: 0.33" (8mm)

The rain/snow line last night into early this morning only made it down as far as upper Dharamkot, with only a few brief snowflakes that melted on contact with the ground any further downhill.  There were a couple of little rain/snow squalls that lasted into mid-morning, and then some thunder over the mountains during the early afternoon... but the main trend today was toward increasing amounts of sunshine as skies gradually cleared.  And though quite cold, it was a nice, calm and quiet evening to enjoy the Lohri puja and bonfire in the main square.



Our weather looks basically uneventful during the next couple of days, with moderating temperatures.  A fast-moving upper-level system will zip across the area between late Tuesday night and early Thursday, bringing some cloudiness and at least a small chance of some passing light rain showers with it.  Then there will be another break in the action until perhaps mid-day Saturday when we may start to feel the first effects of what could be a very significant winter storm system affecting our area into the first part of the following week.  Way way way way too early to tell exactly what might happen, but at least the pattern this January is keeping us on our toes...
