...winter storm watch in effect from this afternoon through late
sunday night...
The national weather service in cheyenne has issued a winter
storm watch...which is in effect from this afternoon through late
sunday night.
* an upper level system will move across the area saturday night
into sunday night allowing for periodic light snow to accumulate
through monday morning. The best chances for heavy snowfall
accumulations will be from sunday morning through sunday
afternoon.
* expect possible snow accumulations of 10 to 14 inches in the
sierra madre and medicine bow mountains with 9 to 12 inches in
the northern and southern laramie range. Although the snow will
gradually accumulate over the lower elevations...expect possible
snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches by monday morning.
* the surface pressure gradient will begin to tighten across
southern wyoming late saturday evening into sunday morning
allowing for easterly upslope winds to increase to 20 to 30 mph
along the eastern mountain slopes. This will allow for blowing
and drifting snow with limited visibilities at times.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A winter storm watch means there is a potential for significant
snow that may impact travel. Continue to monitor the latest

Well it looks like Winter is here. Still a bit early for such cold temps. at least earlier than it has been for the past 15+ years. Usually those below zero temps don't hit us until Jan. sometimes Feb. Those temps hit us early last year too and the weather was messed up all the rest of the year and on into Spring and Summer. Not that I was complaining about having a cooler Summer than normal, but the gardens and flowers didn't do as well, especially viney plants.
brrr -5 right now here in town.... Dh had to go up to Passage Resort up in the Big Horns and work on their Walk in, it was -50 below wind chill and it was messing with the pressure adjustment or something... anyways, had to put on the carhart extreme's clothing today...
Getting ready to drink some hot cider, the furnace has been running a lot today...
