What Now?

During the last 30 days, temperatures have been a bit below normal statewide, as the map shows.


Finally, the weather pattern appears to to be relaxing. A nice bout of spring fever is poised to spread across Kentucky. It will be nice to get outside and get some stuff done around the house or just simply relieve ourselves of that cabin fever. Of course, winter is not over yet. But the next main weather system that will affect our region should bring rain to areas that really could use it.


Although we are in the midst of a la nina winter, things have not really gone according to plan, thanks in great part to the unusually strong blocking patterns that had set up over the far northeast. Now that the blocking pattern has temporarily relaxed, look for more affects from a la nina weather pattern.

Speaking of la nina, I found this article from the archives. Take a look and compare what has actually happened with what has been forecast for this winter.

What do you think will happen for the rest of this thing we call winter? Looks interesting to me....

More later. Have a nice sunny day.
