Deep, White and Cold. Sunny Skies Overhead.


I awoke this morning to a white blanket across the front lawn.  Of course, I was at 7800', so it was to be expected.  Down in the bay, many are rising to find that no snow has fallen on their lawn.  A bummer for some, and a blessing for others.  Still, the 34F this morning in Santa Cruz is cold enough to beat up on some of your plants and put a chill on your bones.  Today will be cold, with highs reaching only into the 40s in the Bay and the teens in the mountains.  It is bluebird up here right now, so, while cold, it is awesome out.

Tomorrow morning continues cold, with a bit of warming during the day.  Mostly sunny skies continue through Monday with perhaps the nicest day of the week.  We may see mid 30s in the mountains and high 50s on the coast.  Poor weather begins coming in next Tuesday with some cooling.  This next system is very wet and slower moving, though a bit warmer.  Wednesday seems to be the day with the heaviest precipitation, but showery weather continues for a few days.  More storms line up after that.

Go out an enjoy your Saturday.  It will be crisp, but a good weekend is ahead of us.  Prepare for more rain in the coming week and up through at least mid March.  We are just at the beginning of this series, so expect for more storms to come before we are under our regular spring high pressure.
