Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 34.3ºF (1.6ºC)
High temp: 42.0ºF (5.6ºC)
Melted precipitation: 1.02" (2.6cm) -- 2" to 2.5" of slushy snow accumulation
Storm total melted precip since Saturday: 1.37" (3.5cm)
It has been a wild and crazy weather day across our area, with completely different scenarios, depending on minor changes in elevation. There were periods of snow just about everywhere in McLeod, but the only accumulations occurred in the very upper parts of town (mine included), where there were minor build-ups of slushy snow on trees, rooftops, terraces, and some spots on the ground. Further up-mountain, accumulations of snow got much more impressive. A range of 5-8" fell in Dharamkot, around one foot in the vicinity of Galu Temple... with progressively heavier amounts up toward Triund, where I am hearing at least three feet of snow has piled up since yesterday morning.
But now, things are rapidly calming down as the upper-level low pressure system responsible for our winter storm is gradually shifting to our east. Stabilization of the atmosphere is already happening, and should bring us a much quieter Monday, with a return of some welcome sunshine. The week ahead will feature a mildly disturbed upper-level pattern that will keep us in and out of the clouds, and in and out of at least slight chances of some periods of light showers. Temperatures will moderate a bit, but will probably average out near or slightly colder than normal for the season...
