Greetings and welcome!
The great outdoors is white this morning. We had a decent sized storm come through last night and give us between an inch and two inches of snow on the ground. As of lunchtime, a lot of it is still there, but it won’t last long.
I had a pretty good idea that it would snow last night. When I was coming home from work the sky was mostly clear, but the moon had a hazy halo around it. That usually means that there are ice crystals in the upper atmosphere, and I expected that we would see snow by morning.
The weekend weather looks a little more inviting. Saturday we are looking for low to mid-50s and a cloudy day. The NWS put a minor chance of sprinkles in the forecast for afternoon as a warm air mass reaches the area in advance of an early week storm. There is nothing showing up for precip in the models, so don’t worry about it too much. Sunday looks nice with temps in the mid-60s.
This past week was a little bit of a rude awakening when the temperatures dropped from thirty degrees above normal back to about where they should be. The 70s and 80s were easy to get used to, but were way out of the normal variability for this time of year.
Weekend events..
This is the weekend of the giant 10 Bar indoor mini-golf tournament. The bars around Twin Bridge and the High Falls Flowage each have a mini golf hole set up and you go place to place to golf the course. The tournament starts today and goes through tomorrow. Saturday night the score cards need to be back at Caldron Falls Bar by 7, where they will give out awards, prizes, and door prizes.
The other big thing going on this weekend is the second weekend of preseason rafting with Kosir’s. We will be hitting the river again Saturday and Sunday. It looks like the river is running at about +5.
Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
