70's AND SNOW?

No doubt we've all relished the wonderful warm weather of late...and even with showers and possibly thunderstorms passing through into early next week, temps still stay mild.  By midweek, some may see 70s again...however....

March Madness isn't just about basketball...the weather can be as fickle and transient as it gets.  I was looking back in past photo files and have files of several early April snows from the end of Staymon, so it's not unusual to get late season snows.

With that said, heads up for Saturday-Sunday March 19th-20th...been looking at this a few days, and this season's most accurate model (GFS) has a big shot of Canadian air coming in quickly behind a strong cold front that should pass through Saturday afternoon.  At least on the maps, the precipitation goes over to snow in ACA late Saturday through the first half of Sunday.

These 'far out' looks can't be fully trusted, but it seems to me that even if the snow is minimal (or at all), we get the cold.  Grass seed should be okay, but young tender plants need to be kept indoors for a few more weeks.  The good news is should it be a winter event, we go into it with warm road and ground temperatures.  Too, any storms this late in the season, they rarely hang around long.

Until then, enjoy the 'lamb' March has been so far.
