WINTER STORM WATCH SUNDAY

From the frying pan into the fire we go.  After yesterday's relative warmth and some melting (a relative term at my house), a Winter Storm Watch has been posted for ACA from Sunday AM through Monday AM.  Possible heavy accumulations may fall, though the temperature may be like this morning as I type with heavy wet snow flakes falling with temps above 32.  Inches of snow are possible, 1-3" low and 3-5" high.  

You can read the official NWS forecast HERE.

As we've heard already, bitter, bitter cold moves in Monday through mid-week, ensuring that any snow/sleet/ice accumulations will go absolutely nowhere.  In 17 years, the coldest I've recorded was minus 9 degrees, and some minus 0 readings are likely ahead.

All that to say batten down your hatches today.  Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is right around the corner.  I suppose if there is any blessing to be had, it's that Monday is a holiday.
