Two days with some rain.

At this elevation, it amounted to about 1/4 of an inch. At the nearest Snotel, it was above 3/4 of water equivalency. That fell as snow which now amounts to over 24 inches at 4700 feet. There, the temperature never dropped below freezing and here, it never rose above freezing. Interesting how there are times when 4700 feet elevation and 2000 will have nearly the same temperatures but with this little storm, the snow pack built up some and stayed in place :).

Our forecast has some snow for tomorrow and continuing with below freezing during the during the nights and through some days. This will be typical late February weather. Typical Typical — is that asking for too much ;)?

Snow has delayed one Olympic event in Rome bc they just got 4 inches of it!
Groundhog was wrong this year. My grass is greening up. I keep hearing some birds fighting outside of one of my south facing windows, too.
High of 67 degrees F today and a chance of T storms/tornadoes as well.

It started to rain heavily after the snow. That was welcomed for once. So Oliver made it to the vets :love

It's still raining with snow at the moment. It can do as it wants now my boy is home.

Ha, Ha! We have NO control over tornadoes. When the conditions are favorable NOAA puts out watches (a tornado COULD happen in your area,) and warnings (a tornado has been spotted on the ground and may travel to your area.)
They are predictable but most do not even travel from the cloud to the ground all of the way, and the worst have been on the ground for a little over one hour, and usually those are very powerful, >200MPH and about 1/2 mile wide.
They usually occur when a strong line of cold air collides with a strong line of warm air, triggering instability in the atmosphere and the atmosphere always wants to correct this, often with just strong t storms
"Twister" is a great movie to watch and learn about tornadoes.
