Good morning all and Happy Wednesday!
Today's storm stayed out to sea as predicted, but frigid temperatures are the tradeoff we get for it! The arctic high pressure system that deflected the storm is firmly in place and that's why we deal with temps that will leave you shivering the next few days- bundle up! Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday is when things get interesting, if not complex. I can already tell this is going to be an odd, bizzare, strange, and weird weekend for me. This storm is not a nor'easter, but it will still likely be a significant event, not because it will be especially heavy all the time...but it could be snowing moderately for 60 hours in a row! Some models indicate light/moderate snow from noon on Sunday to 6 AM on Tuesday morning. This would accumulate as the temps are going to be miles below freezing, and thus it is going to be several inches with early indications that some areas may gradually receive up to over 6 inches. This, of course, is very early and subject to change, especially with such an odd system (which is basically a stalled frontal boundary that sits over our area for a really long time). The odds now do favor a significant snow event Sunday-Tuesday, but stay tuned!
Today in weather history- February 26, 1910- Laconia, Washington recieves 129" of snow in the biggest snowstorm on record to hit that state.
