It's the sixth day of March, and already I can't tell if spring is on the way or if winter is going to hold on for a little bit longer. Last week I thought temperatures were finally going to warm up for good, but this week we got another dumping of snow. Now is this going to be the last snowfall? Probably not. Now we've got so much snow on the ground, and as the weather starts to warm up, the snow is melting rapidly during the day and evaporating into clouds. My prediction, the huge ridge of high pressure will allow for clear skies the next couple of days, but when that moves, all the water vapor in the air is going to come right back down sometime this weekend. As for today, it's very sunny, with mostly clear skies except for a few cumulus humilis (fair weather) clouds.
One more thing, I mentioned above that there is a huge ridge of high pressure headed our way. Well it's really cool to observe this ridge through the direction of winds. Winds always blow from high to low pressure, and on this wind map from today, you can see where the ridge is, from Northern Minnesota (probably even Canada) all the way down to Dallas, TX. Pretty cool, huh?
