We have gone through a lengthy stretch of dry and cold weather. But that is about to change. We're going to see some precipitation this weekend - including what may be our first snow of the winter. As is usual for this part of the world, there is a lot of uncertainty over the forecast. I currently see mixed rain and snow for Friday, snow flurries and snow showers on Saturday (40% chance of snow), occasional snow showers on Sunday (50% chance of snow, snow accumulations less than an inch) and cloudy with a few snow showers on Monday (30% chance of snow). But it's not so much the snow I'm worried about, it's the very cold ground - just a small amount of snow or freezing rain, could result in icy roads and hazardous driving conditions. I think I'm going to do some food shopping tomorrow (getting the things I didn't get in Costco), just to stock up in case things go pear-shaped this weekend and beyond.
