It's now been more than three and half weeks -- the morning of the 13th of December -- since we've had any precipitation here in McLeod. The weather pattern remains extremely docile and calm and quiet, and should remain that way for at least the next week. In fact, we should experience a noticeable warming trend effective immediately, which will last into Thursday, as a moderate ridge of high pressure aloft builds across northern India.
As I've mentioned several times, the models have been really fickle about potential pattern shifts/changes during the middle of the month -- but at least as of this evening, there is only a fast-moving and middling type of weather system forecast to tempt us with some precipitation around the 18th-19th. I am very disappointed in our rain/snow chances -- to say the least. Still waiting and watching.
