mildest of 2019... (pm.13.feb.19)>

Wednesday's stats:

Low temp: 50.4ºF (10.2ºC)
High temp: 61.6ºF (16.4ºC)
Precipitation: none

Today was the mildest day of 2019, and more specifically, since the middle of December.  Although we had some waves and patches of fairly thick cloudiness off and on throughout the day, we also had some nice periods of sunshine mixed in as well.  It was our first little glimpse/sniff of spring, which was nice to experience after the last several weeks we've endured.

But the storm system we've been watching and talking about is still on approach, and we're going to be seeing increasing chances of some light to moderate rain during the coming 48 hours or so.  The snow line is still expected to remain well up-mountain from us this time around, but significant snowfall will occur once again above Galu Temple -- maybe on the order of one foot or more.  The best potential for that significant precipitation exists between mid-day Thursday and Friday evening.

Things will calm down over the weekend (good timing), but yet another storm system will be organizing and threatening us by late Monday into Tuesday of next week.  A late-winter push of colder air could accompany this system, with moderate to heavy rain/snow possible by Wednesday into Friday.  It just doesn't seem to slow down in the weather department this winter...
