Winter is Cold.

Up in the Sierra there is 14 to 23 feet of new snow in the last two and half weeks.  It is currently cold, with highs in the 20s.  This is as good as it gets in Tahoe.  For those of you not enjoying the winter wonderland that is out there, think spring.  We will have mountains stacked with snow through June this year, even if it were to stop snowing now. But that is not quite going to happen.  The next few storms look really light with just a few inches, but continued cold through months end.

Santa Cruz is a bit warmer, with highs in the mid 50s and lows in the mid 40s.  Not much change in that this week. An inside slider tomorrow could bring light rain, but the storm is mostly east of Santa Cruz.  It will reenforce cod air, and there is an outside chance of snow in town Wednesday night.  Get up early to enjoy the outing on Thursday.  Sun returns for Friday, but another storm to our east brings cold winds and a slight chance of showers this coming weekend.

The following week currently looks sunny, with high pressure.  Still, we are seeing the suggestion of a storm under cutting the high and getting to us the middle of next week.  There is even a stronger suggestion that we could see storms return by the first weekend of March. So much for fair weather.  At least we are getting our water.  More to come.
