A warm front brings a little rain today and lifts northward Friday, leaving us in a dry and warm air mass and allowing March to roll in like a lamb — as we predicted here earlier — with highs around 60 degrees. A balmy day. At least that is the plan Wednesday afternoon as I write my column.
I don’t know exactly how much rain will fall by midnight tonight but we are already dabbling with our third-driest February in about 70 years. That could change, but it will still go down as being a dry month considering what is normally expected. Details on Sunday.
Have you noticed how they have been naming snowstorms this winter around the country? The latest was Rocky, which brought Chicago its heaviest snow so far this winter.
If we would have had a big snowstorm, I wonder what it would have been called? Bigfoot? Or maybe Husky? Guess we will have to wait until next year for another chance at seeing significant snow.
