After 20 inches of snow and temperatures nearly 6 degrees below normal in January, the first half of February has been much kinder to us. Merely a dusting of snow, wel—above-normal temperatures, but, of course, high winds and thunderstorms last week courtesy of a Pacific storm. Another such system is moving into California tonight and will bring rain and mild weather here again Wednesday, minus the high winds.
But a short-term pattern change will occur late in the weekend lasting through the weekend that should coat the ground with light snow Thursday and perhaps give a more important accumulation next Saturday as a clipper system dives southeast in a northwest flow. Beyond the weekend, milder weather may return on the closing days of the month, so this is still quite a change from the relentless chill of January.
