Saturday, March 8 and a "block" for late March

[Resident 2B]

It is looking like another storm for this Saturday. It is too early to determine where the rain/snow line will setup, but it looks like an inch of water (QPF) or more.

If this is all snow, expect 8 inches or more or heavy snow. If it is rain and the storm goes west of us pulling up warm air, watch out for flooding and more roof loading. I am somewhat concerned that it could have a lot of ice with it. It is possible for a cold layer to be trapped at the surface with warmer air above.

Bottom line is that Saturday looks to be stormy and we do not need any more storms right now.

It also is looking like an omega block setting up for the second half of March. If this is the case, it will be wet throughout the period adding to our situation.

Sorry for the bad news.

If you have not purchased flood insurance, start think (acting) now. Same applies for snow on the roof. It looks like the weight load will be increasing in the near term.
