Really bumped up the rain forecast for us. Especially Tuesday. Speaking of, looking at a low of just 60 that morning and a high of 68. Excited about that.

Quick cold snap late week with a high of just 47 Thursday and a low of 27 the next morning. But then a bunch of mid/upper 50s with a 60 here and there. Lows above freezing and even in the 40s. There's hope for early Feb after all. Ready for spring

More awesome than that are those accumulation seen around the Redwoods area forecasted on Wednesday, one of the biggest I've ever seen over that area on a forecast! It may even snow in Oregon and north CA beaches, wich is an unsual sight.

This decade? Sure. Past 3 winters? No. Every.big.storm passed Long Island (not talking NYS) by mere miles lately. Always rain.

That’s because coastal locations are about to become tropical rainforests and the interiors of continents a massive Sahara desert.
