4.93" (12.5cm) -- That's the grand total of rainfall from our recent early winter storm system, 99% of which occurred between 7AM Monday and 7AM Wednesday. This is MORE than the normal precipitation total for the entire month of December, and the most rainfall in a 48 hour period since August. Earlier today I heard from a very reliable source that the snow at Triund on Wednesday was hip-deep... which is closer to three feet than the previously reported two feet.
Today (Thu) we've been in transition, as the atmosphere gradually stabilizes from the recent turmoil. There was a good amount of sunshine this morning, but a batch of mid-high clouds rolled in by mid-day, thanks to some significant warming starting to arrive in the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere. It looks like the general temperature trend will be upward as we head into the weekend, with increasing amounts of sunshine over the course of the coming several days.
Extended range weather models show no evidence of another significant storm system... all the way through Christmas and toward the end of 2017. We'll keep watch to see if that outlook holds.
