Unfortunately the calendar page flipping over from March to April tomorrow is not going to bring us any relief from the wintery holdover weather. It will continue with a miserable week ahead. Looking for no warm up in my little backyard area ’cause there won’t be one. Might as well use this time to tend to tedious indoor tasks that should eventually be done, but now can be done early. Why not? Putting in this lousy weather time for something one can feel good about seems to be the only way to get through this weather and make it into what will eventually turn nice. Or we hope so, anyway. We always have hope.

Currently 35 with an average wind from the E of 14 mph. Feels like 26 degrees. Dew Point 33, Barometer 29.66 & falling, Humidity 91%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:27 am, Sunset 8:06 pm.

Well, once again my little backyard managed to dodge what had been predicted to be truly rotten wintry weather. No ice. No snow. Not overnight anyway. Nobody complaining about that. The rest of the week still doesn’t look appealing to anyone wishing for spring. Who knows, at this time, whether we’ll be seeing anymore snow. It’s certainly possible. Just hang on to the warm clothes and steady on. Sooner or later it’s going to change. Just don’t look for it this week.

Currently 23 with an average wind from the E of 7 mph. Feels like 14 degrees. Dew Point 14, Barometer 30.36, Humidity 69%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:29 am, Sunset 8:05 pm.

Seriously? The end of March and we’re getting a Winter Weather Advisory? Yup. We are that. If this system hits us I’d be real careful about heading out to work in the morning. We all know some of these things end up missing us entirely but if this one doesn’t it could be bad driving conditions by morning. In fact, any boss worth his salt would be watching the weather and perhaps advising his employees to delay coming in until the roads are less likely to cause accidents. Is your boss that smart? Not many are.

At any rate, be careful. And be aware that this entire week coming at us looks just plain miserable. Lots of 40 degree days. Can all be summed up by really lousy weather conditions for those of us longing for a real spring.

Currently 18 with an average wind from the NW of 9 mph. Feels like 7 freaking degrees. Dew Point 9, Humidity 67%, Barometer 30.28, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:31 am, Sunset 8:04 pm.

This unpleasant chilly weather continues to plague the area. I know we’re not alone, but other areas of the nation suffering this non-spring-like weather is not a comfort. This entire week is one in the loss column as far as being happy with this year’s spring. Look for another chance for a wintry mix about mid-week – and I hate to snow on your parade, but looking ahead to next week I’m not seeing anything wonderful in the line up even then. It’s going to change. Eventually warmth and green growing things will come calling and we’ll be thrilled to invite them in. For now? Keep the warm clothes on hand and try to think positive. Things could be worse. We could be dealing with the tornadoes some places have had to face recently. Thankfully not. But a little balance somewhere in the middle might be nice.

Currently 22 with an average wind from the NW of 14 mph. Feels like 10 degrees. Dew Point 11, Humidity 61%. Barometer 30.09 & rising, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:33 am, Sunset 8:02 pm.

No other way to describe it, it’s just plain cold out there this morning. Saw my first Robins of the season, out there shivering in the snow. I’m so sorry to put on such a welcome back for them. Shouldn’t be this way. But it is. This coming week won’t be any prize winner, either. Some ups and downs in the temperatures, but nothing too high or, hopefully, too low. All we can do is hang in here, brush the snow off the car and travel on toward a real spring. Or the month of April, which if it’s kinder than March has been, will bring us some semblance of the season anyway.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the NW of 16 mph. Feels like 19 degrees. Dew Point 25, Humidity 79%, Barometer 29.72 & rising, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:34 am, Sunset 8:01 pm

This is a miserable stretch of spring weather. Nothing pleasant about it. Sunday will be worse. All we can do is hunker down and think spring. I mean real spring, like in story books, right? No, seriously, spring will be here…at least in time to usher in summer. Hang in there.

Currently 37, Average wind W 9 mph, Feels like 30 degrees. Dew Point 35, Humidity 95%, Barometer 29.70 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:36 am, Sunset 8:00 pm.

Cloudy with a 60% chance of rain showers. High near 45. WSW winds 15-25 mph.

50% chance of snow showers. 1″ possible. Low 28. W winds 15-25 mph with higher gusts possible.

Let’s just look at this miserable cold weekend coming up, and the not so wonderful week trailing along behind it, as winter’s last attempt to make like unpleasant for us. And keep in mind…And This Too Shall Pass. Eventually Mother Nature is going to have to come to grips with the fact that the season of misery has had it’s moment and it’s now time to lighten up, warm up and become friendly. It will happen. Just not this weekend for sure.

Currently 43 with an average wind from the S of 15 mph. Feels like 36 degrees. Dew Point 41, Humidity 90%, Barometer 29.61 & rising, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 7:38 am, Sunset 7:59 pm

Patchy morning fog. 90% chance of rain. High 44. SW winds 10-20 mph.

Today’s weather? Next week’s weather? Remember what Flower the skunk told Bambi the young  deer? “Mama always told me, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say nothing at all.” So this is me. Not saying anything at all.

Currently 42 with an average wind from the E of 13 mph. Feels like 35 degrees. Dew Point 41, Humidity 97%, Barometer 29.62 & falling, Visibility 6 mi., Sunrise 7:40 am, Sunset 7:58 pm.

90% chance of light morning rain becoming heavier with thunderstorms possible in the afternoon. High around 50. ESE winds 10-20 mph.

100% chance of overnight rain. Low 41. E winds shift to SSW 10-15 mph.

Nothing pleasant coming our way for the next week. It’s going to be chilly and wet. Not only rain showing up but snow and that miserable wintry mix likely. There simply is nothing good to report – except if we hang in here, and what choice do we have – April will be coming our way eventually and we can only hope it turns into a much better month than March has been. For the most part this has been, and continues to be, not one of those “March Could Be Nice” months I talk about every year. A handful of terrific days does not cancel out the rest of it so this one definitely goes in the not so nice column.

Currently 38 with an average wind from the NE of 16 mph. Feels like 29 degrees. Dew Point 31, Humidity 76%, Barometer 30.16, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 7:42 am, Sunset 7:57 pm.

Cloudy morning becoming windy with a 40% chance of afternoon rain. High 48. E winds 20-30 with higher gusts possible.

100% chance of overnight rain. Low 39. E winds 20-30 mph with higher gusts possible.

Well, this month of March is not proving to be particularly wonderful. Looking ahead into next week, I actually see the word snow showing up again. This is, indeed, getting old. We’re currently in for about 3 days of rain in a row and then we can look forward to a bit of sunshine – maybe. But don’t be looking for warmth because none is showing up within the next 10 days. This is not fun.
