Weather It Is (Strange Motions)

Good Afternoon:

Highlight:

A warm day, followed by cooler weather next week, and a chance of snow early the week after next.

When people see me they make strange cutting motions with their hands (about waist high).  They also shake their heads -- perhaps in an ominous way. Are they asking, or are they telling me (no more snow, bring on the spring!)?

There are even those who choose to apply blame even when none is deserved.

The weather will be warming up, but it won't feel toasty.  True, it will be pleasant, but it will last just one day (into Friday Evening), and then the temperature will start downwards again on Shabbat.

In fact, as Purim comes around an area of low pressure should approach from the west.  It may not be a particularly strong area of low pressure, but it could bring a period (or periods) of light to moderate rain.  It should be cold enough for some snow on the Hermon.

Looking further ahead to Shabbat and early the following week.  We still see a 15 to 20% chance that this period could turn quite cold and perhaps even snowy.  Of course, like last time, there is an 80% chance that nothing will come of this, but rain.
