Moisture on the Way

Posted by on

Well, believe it or not, they are predicting that we could possibly get 2 to 4 inches of snow tomorrow!  I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the forecast, but there it was.   A snowflake graphic was posted on Tuesday’s forecast.  Naturally, I just planted my tomatoes yesterday and I cannot bring them into the house now, so I will be outside tonight covering everything with plastic or buckets.  Such is the life of a gardener.

See the forecast for yourself.  Luckily we will be back up to warm temps by the end of the week and hopefully then our tomatoes will be safe!  If it stays warm enough, we will just get rain instead of snow.  Cross you fingers!

A spring storm is on it’s way to Pine Cove!  Or at least that is what the weather man says.  Here is the forecast for the next few days.

Detailed Forecast

  • Today A 20 percent chance of showers after 11am. Mostly sunny, with a high near 55. West wind 5 to 10 mph
  • increasing to 15 to 20 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph.
  • Tonight Rain showers likely before 11pm, then snow showers. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 30.
  • Breezy, with a west wind 15 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 40 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
  • New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.
  • Saturday A 40 percent chance of snow showers before 11am. Some thunder is also possible.
  • Partly sunny, with a high near 39. Windy, with a west wind 25 to 30 mph decreasing to 15 to 20 mph

  • Sunday Mostly sunny, with a high near 51. West wind around 10 mph.
  • Sunday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 42.

So this won’t be a very big storm and temperatures will be back up in the 60’s by Monday.  But if you are heading up to Pine Cove this weekend, you will want to be aware of the possibility that there might be snow.  It will be a cold weekend for sure!

Always remember to turn your water off at your customer valve when you leave your mountain home!

Storm Has Left

Posted by on

A storm moved through Pine Cove late yesterday and left a little covering of snow.  Maybe an inch.  However, it is still very cold outside.  It is currently 38 degrees  and there is some ice on the roads.  The sun is out and shining and so the ice should start melting off, but it would still be best to be careful if driving around up here this morning.  There is black ice on some roads which can take a driver by surprise if they aren’t used to driving in it.  We were hoping for more snow than we got, but Mother Nature is in control, not us.  It should be back up in the high 50’s by Sunday.

There be Snow

Posted by on

But not very much.  A storm rolled in over night but only left about 1/2″ of snow.   The roads are wet, but clear and there are no closures that we are aware of.   It may snow more today, but at the moment, it is overcast, but nothing more.  It is however, very chilly.  A brisk 27 degrees as recorded by our weather station at the Rocky Point tank site.  They are calling for more snow, but it remains to be seen if it will actually materialize.  Winds are around 5 mph with gusts up to 8 mph and the sun peeks out through the clouds every now and again.

So nothing much to report.  Hope this helps everyone who is off the hill and wanting to drive up.

Where’s Winter?

Posted by on

As you may have noticed, the weather has been unseasonably warm and sunny for several weeks now.  While it is pleasant and enjoyable, it certainly isn’t typical January weather.  Where is the rain, the cold and most importantly, the snow?  These warmer temperatures are encouraging plant growth that should not be happening for 3 or 4 months yet.  I noticed yesterday that my daffodils are popping up.  Hopefully it is going to get cold soon and most importantly the moisture will arrive.  We do not need another dry winter, that is for sure.

We Want Snow!!!!!
