That stupid Sasquatch! Wait, he can't hear me, can he? Okay, that stupid Sasquatch!
A week after he declares an early spring, we go and get a pattern change for
later in February. I barely have time to Tick today, let alone Tock, but I had to
get this out there before I have to rush off. As you can see, it does look like
cooler than normal weather is in store for at least some of next week. No, not
full-on winter, probably, but a change from all the warm weather we've been (and
going to have) having. Have having? Whatever, you know what I mean (which is good
because I often DO NOT). You can see the dip (stick? How dare you!) coming this
weekend, which might give us a cold rain or a cold snow, as opposed to a hot snow?



But after that, maybe a brief foray (English to Okie translation: thrust) into the
40s? Wait, snow? that's still on the table? Apparently so. All our cautions from
yesterday still hold, but the computer models are still hinting at it. Maybe even
looking a bit better?



REMEMBER: the forecast can (and most definitely will) change, but also remember
that change can be for MORE snow, not just less.

That's it, I'm out of time AND patients (which is good because I definitely ain't
a doctor!).
