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.
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!

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.
Here is the forecast for the coming week. Looks like temperatures are going up but we are going to get some wind.

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.
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.
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.
There is a small storm coming our way. No significant snow fall accumulation is expected, but temperatures will be dropping. Here is the forecast:
This afternoon, sunny, with a high near 54. Southwest wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
Tonight A 30 percent chance of showers after midnight. Partly cloudy, with a low around 36. West wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
Wednesday A 50 percent chance of showers. Cloudy, with a high near 39. Breezy, with a west wind 15 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph.
Wednesday night A chance of rain and snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 33. West wind around 20 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
Thursday A 30 percent chance of snow showers, mainly after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 41. West wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
Thursday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 38.
So, not a big event, but any chance of moisture is a good thing. Looks like it is going to be cold and windy though, so be prepared for that. By Friday, we will be back up in the 50’s.
