Potential Snow Days

Source

Over the past cuppla days it's been a wee bit chilly out of doors here in Little Rhody. It was down to 12° last night and not much warmer the night before. Highs during the day top out in the high 20s, if we're lucky. If the wind's not blowing and the sun is shining it's tolerable.

As long as ye ain't in the shade!

The snow we had last weekend is still around, haven't noticed much in the way of melting except up on the roof where I've heard it sliding off the solar panels. So yes, it's a might bit nippy out there.

We're off to Maryland this weekend for Finnigan's 3rd birthday party. (And Tuttle's 50th, but I didn't tell you that, okay?)

Good thing too, here's the forecast for my wee town this coming weekend, note the bit in the red box ...

Looks like a grand total of close to a foot over Sunday through Monday. Grand, innit? And I won't be seeing that.

Or will I?

Here's the forecast for Annapolis, again note the bit in the red box ...

Well hell, looks like we might see over a foot in Annapolis over the same time period. With what might be an icy glaze on top of all that if the snow turns to rain late on Sunday, which it's forecast to do.

I'm keeping an eye on that weather forecast as we're driving on Friday, so far everything seems to be slipping to the right and predicted snowfall totals have decreased for Annapolis and increased for Bristol. So we've got that going for us.

This winter has, so far, proven to be somewhat exceptional. The average high for our area is around 37°, the low around 24°. (Here is where I got that data.) So we're running a bit colder than normal and have been for over a month. But we've been down in the snowfall category.

Looks like this weekend might catch us up.

Not that I'm looking forward to that, but the grandsons are gonna love it. They might even get a day off from school on Monday. I remember those when I was a kid.

Good times.

Note: One thing nice about Chez Nuke et Tuttle is that they have a generator. And a fireplace. Neither of which do we have up here in Little Rhody. So that's a good excuse to head down there, even if there weren't two birthdays to celebrate!
