Nothing Yet

Well here it is, 10:00 a.m. and there has not been a single drop of moisture yet.  No rain and certainly no snow.  While it is a brisk 31 degrees and very overcast with the occasional wisp of fog floating by, it is still bone dry.  So it is anyone’s guess as to whether or not we will actually see any moisture out of this cold, little storm.  We should be back to our normal spring temperatures by the end of the week, so I am hoping we at least get some rain today.  But as we all know, we are not in charge.  Mother Nature is, so we will see if she favors us with a shower.

Moisture on the Way

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!

Back to Sun

The weekend storm came and went as Old Man Winter gave it one last shot.   It was quite chilly out over the weekend,  but it seems to be warming up a bit today.  The weather station up at the Rocky Point tank site says it is 54 degrees out at 10 a.m., so we are getting back to normal.  Hopefully this will be the last cold & snow storm of the season.  While moisture is always welcome, it is getting late in the year to have snow and freezing temperatures.  Let’s hope for lots of nice rain for the rest of the spring and some summer monsoonal moisture this summer.

STORM COMING!

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
  • in the morning.  Winds could gust as high as 45 mph. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.
  • Saturday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 33. Northwest wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
  • Sunday Mostly sunny, with a high near 51. West wind around 10 mph.
  • Sunday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 42.
  • Monday Sunny, with a high near 63.

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!

Friday Happenings

Edison has turned off the electricity here on the hill.  It should be off until about noon.  They are working on upgrading the system and everyone was given advance notice.  This is a planned outage and there is nothing wrong and there is no problem.

The weather has warmed up slightly and it is about 40 degrees this morning.  The sun should be back out by Sunday and temperatures should be back in the 50’s.  So, all in all, it should be a decent weekend here on the hill if you are planning a trip up.  If you are a full timer, it will be a good weekend to get a head start on some of those spring projects.  It is too bad we didn’t get more snow, but we have no control over that.

Please remember we are now in Stage I conservation.  Please conserve water whenever possible.  For more information on the Water Conservation Stages, please check the page at the top of the blog.  We also enclosed a brochure in this month’s bill explaining the different stages as well as the tiered water prices for each stage.

Storm Has Left

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

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.

Rain Today!

A storm rolled into Pine Cove over night and left a light dusting of snow.  It has been lightly raining on and off most of the morning.  It is cold, (30 degrees at 10:20 a.m.) foggy and damp.  It is not too much fun to be outside this morning.  There is a possibility of some snow accumulation tonight into tomorrow morning of 3 to 7 inches, but we will have to wait and see if that materializes or not.  Any moisture is most welcome, so rain or snow, we will take it.

All in all, today is a good day to stay inside by the fire if you don’t have to be out and about, but if you do, wear a warm jacket and take a hat or umbrella to keep yourself dry just in case it starts to rain or snow, as it can be sporadic.  Roads are clear, but there is currently a light fog.  While the visibility is good here in Pine Cove,  you never know how it is elsewhere,  so if you are driving, be prepared for the possibility of running into some fog that may be thicker than what we currently have here in Pine Cove.

We will see what tonight brings and I will update weather conditions with a new post tomorrow morning.  In the meantime, the boys finished reading meters on Friday afternoon and Becky is now working on the billing.  Bills will probably hit the mail box sometime tomorrow and are due on the 25th of this month.

Stay warm and dry and please make sure you bring your pets inside during inclement weather!  Remember, they enjoy sitting in front of a nice warm, roaring fire just as much as you do.

And just in case you don’t have a fireplace where you are now, here is one for you.
