70 and Sunny for Saturday.......

in Orlando Florida that is.  We can only wish for that weather right now but I guess we'll just have to grin and bear the remaining two months that remain of this winter season. And let me tell you, February is looking to be even worse than January if you can believe that.  In a normal winter season February is the snowiest of the months but does prove to be warmer than January so that's a good sign.  Before we know it we'll be complaining about how hot it is.

How about that storm last night?  Not too often you see actual bolts of lightning during a snowstorm, just goes to show how much energy was wrapped up in it all.  Fort the most part last night's storm dropped between 11-13 inches throughout Montgomery County.  Aside from the "surprise" part one of yesterday's mornings storm, my totals were pretty much in range with what I predicted.  It's better to be low in your numbers than be too high, people seem to get on you more when you predict a foot and end up with flurries.  The majority of us ended up with a snow day and pretty much every kid out there was off today.  Somehow our daycare operated on a two hour delay but we kept the kids home anyway.

So now that the monster storm is out of the way, here is what you can expect the next 5 days.  Expect temps to be below average but still warm compared to last week.  We should be around the low to mid 30's with a shot of cold air coming in mid next week.  As for precip, expect some light snow tomorrow afternoon that will leave a coating in most spots.  Some places may see up to an inch but no more than that.  Expect the same thing for Saturday.  We are looking at yet another sizable storm for Tuesday night into Wednesday and this time we are looking at all snow for this one.  It's got the potential to be significant but I highly doubt we'll see another storm like the one we just had for a long time!!

I leave you with these very important and wise words that I'm sure I'll be hearing again tonight.

"Ah yeah, T shirt time!"
