WEATHER update 12-15

Below-average temperatures will not be ending for at least the next week; with our exceptionally cold temperatures of late, the ground is well-frozen, so any incoming precipitation becomes a real nuisance.


With that said, the two incoming 'nuisances' are rather limited in time and scope, and shouldn't create any unusual problems in ACA.


#1) Overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning there will be periods of sleet and freezing rain, mostly...nothing heavy, but ice is ice no matter how little.  By 9-10 am Thursday, temps warm above freezing and we go to all rain; I'm banking on that as I plan on driving back in lunchtime to take advantage of a 'warm' afternoon to do some driveway cleaning.  ANYONE DRIVING OUT EARLY IN THE MORNING SHOULD FIRST TEST THEIR DRIVEWAY BY FOOT AND EXAMINE THE ROAD JUST TO BE SAFE.  Friday will be one of our 'mildest' days, too, helping our melting needs....


#2) Saturday into early Sunday there will be another cold front with limited moisture...looks like we should be above the 32 mark for the day, and once again the moisture looks to be limited.  My 5-day models right now hint at nothing more than a dusting, if that, except toward Boone where there could be a few inches.  At this time I'm not really concerned about either event, in the greater scopes of bad weather for ACA.

Housecleaning:  so as not to confound those not used to the nature of blogs, I am going to 'declutter' the posts by archiving any older weather reports, mostly.  They won't be visible to link, but they will be available if anyone is interested in going over older posts, etc.
