Change in Weather Pattern, 2/26/24

It was so uplifting to have the sun shining and warmer temperatures for the weekend. It allowed me some time to continue clean-up from the last storm and the one before that. I did not build a single fire in the wood stoves this weekend. What a nice break. Now, that is about to change.

But this coming weekend, it looks as if snow levels could be lowered to 2000’ (I am at 3200’). John LIndsey of SLO. Good for the snow pack in the Sierras and for skiers, not so much for me. Although it is beautiful! Stay tuned as the forecast comes more into focus!

From Daniel Swain (Weather West) I’ll have my next live YouTube weather & climate office hours this Thu (2/29) at 10am PT. Topic will be the upcoming pattern shift toward much colder storms, including possibility of very heavy Sierra snowfall! #CAwx #CAwater
