Looks like we have a very cold night on tap. Its sunny and breezy now, with temperatures in the teens and wind chills in the single digits, so total is definitely a winter day. But tonight, as winds die down, temperatures are going to drop like a rock, especially in sheltered valleys that stay clear the longest. Lebanon is forecasting a low of -7, but if our wind dies early, they'll easily go -10 to -20 tonight. It has the potential to be the coldest night of the year. An inversion will set up, with hilltop locations actually being far warmer than the lower valleys. This will be a situation where the summit of Mt Washington will probably be warmer than the surrounding valleys.
And we have another storm threat for Friday night and Saturday...and knowing storms this year...that probably means late Friday afternoon into Saturday morning, but we'll see. Computer models keep upping the stakes, and HPC has us under a risk of at least 4 inches of snow, and on the borderline of possibly up to 8 inches. Right now it looks like the heaviest will be north and east of Lebanon, so the old pattern of us being nickel and dimed by these winter storms will probably return, (unlike yesterday, when we picked up a foot!) but it needs to be watched because its another snowstorm and computer models show a little more precipitation each time. I'll have a possible first call on accumulations tonight.
