Possible winter episode next week
Just a quick post to comment on what the models indicate for the coming week. After a nice string of warm late-April-like weather, we dip back into typical mid-March weather late this week, with a few mornings below freezing. No precip is indicated during the below-freezing periods, meaning that ice and snow should not be a problem. That changes next week - when a major eastern trough is shown by both the GFS and ECMWF models to start impacting us around Wednesday-Friday (the 18th through the 20th). The GFS forecasts 850mb temps below -15°C (5°F) with northwest (upslope) flow and precipitation. That's a strong signal for snow and below-freezing surface temps that we'll need to watch.

Hi Dan, what would happen now while you are sorting your new truck, if a good plains set up showed, say a week from now ?

Hey Mick - everything's actually ready to go if the need arises, I have all the basics installed. The computer just doesn't have a sturdy mount, which will be cumbersome but not impossible to work with.
