Weather It Is (Taking Stock)

Good Evening:

Someone today asked me if we might see the sun.  He feels like it has been raining just about every day.  Compared to last year, he's correct. I've recorded more than 30 days of rain so far this year.

We've had approximately 330 ml of precipitation in Efrat and other areas are (also) above normal (so far) for the year.  I actually enjoy the rain, which has come in the form of snow twice (and wet snow on one Saturday night).  Last year, we had about 270 ml in the big storm, (and all over just a few days) and then nothing really until March.

However, the weather (or winter) will take a break and it is going to not only be sunny but five to 10 degrees warmer than the past several days.  Will we see shorts proliferating around streets of our towns?  Or, will folks remember that it may be "warm," but it's not going to be springtime hot.

The warmer weather will last until mid-week or so, and then we'll turn our attention to a developing system in the Mediterranean. This system will "try" to phase with colder air of the northern Jet-Stream.  Might the month end on a snowy note?  It will at least turn colder.
