Getting back to normal??
Well after hitting from 40 to as high as 45 deg last few days during the Chinooks we are starting to drop again in temps but not below the zero mark yet. That might come later this week. The PNA path has shifted. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-variability-pacific-north-american-teleconnection. Of course it is still going to a degree back east.
Picked up 2.5 inches of snow last night and have 12.5 inches on the ground. The snoweater got the snow total down from 14 ” to 10″. Need all the snow pack we can get now to keep the brush from getting tinder dry in April and May before the summer rains start.
Last night on NWS Alaska weather show they had some interesting charts showing the weather pass couple weeks covering the state. The Bethel and Kuskukim area in SW Alaska extending up along the Coast to Hooper Bay and almost in to Nome and inland to around McGrath they showed it been Warmer and wetter. Even SEAK was dryer then what that area has been. That is where all the big storms been tracking up along as they go up the Bering.
Here looks like some small Chinook winds from the gaps in the Alaska range during this cool down period. Some snow will be seen thru out the interior.
Wx here today has been little cool and mostly cloudy. Spent afternoon out removing the snow out of the driveway to my snow dump before it sets up and starts to ice.
Temperature 24 F
Wind ENE @ 2 Gusting 5
Humidity 90%
Dew Point 22 F
Pressure 29.42 and falling
Until later Stay well and keep an log on the fire and candle in the window.
