changes for the new year... (pm.01.jan.19)>

It's New Year's Day 2019, and with the near year is coming a change in the overall weather pattern.  Most of December was very quiet... apart from a 2-3 day period in the middle of the month when we had some light to moderate rain showers here in McLeod, and several inches of snow in the higher elevations above town.

But we're now facing a period of at least a couple of weeks when there will be a parade of upper-level disturbances moving across Himalayan north India, bringing frequent bouts of cloudiness, and at least two or three periods of potential rain, sleet, and/or snow showers.  Along with the better chances of precipitation will also come a drop in temperatures.  In fact, we'll see temps plunge later tonight into Wednesday, with even colder weather expected over this coming weekend.
