Where Is the Cold?

Certainly not here. Although today does have a bit of a bite thanks to a stiff breeze. But, I'm talking about a good ole-fashioned cold spell with periodic bursts of snow. You know, winter.

Despite a few trends toward a brief spat of cold, the overall trend continues with the same old theme: above normal temperatures. The CPC has actually done a decent job with their forecasts for the most part for our region.

Seems like I'm always trying to find a glitch in their forecasts. I know and you know that they are basing their forecasts on the La Nina weather pattern. Last year, the CPC stunk it up because we were in the midst of a La Nina winter and the weather pattern of cold and snow just did not match up with what they were forecasting, mild and wet/dry.

This year, La Nina is behaving as it should for the winter months, especially the mild temperatures. Now, I know we all want a nice thumping of snow, but I'm almost ready to concede to spring's wishes. If anything, looks to be an active severe weather season shaping up. You know, we'll probably get that snow we've been waiting for when it's supposed to be warm and wet.

Have a good weekend.
