Too-too-too-too-too Snowy Day


Day 132: The internet has gone a bit overboard with palindromic numbers and "special" days like Pi Day (3.14, or better yet, 3.14.15), but I figured I might as well jump on the bandwagon because this morning was "2-22-22" snowy for late February in the Pacific Northwest. A major cold front has dropped down out of the Arctic, so vast that it is affecting the entire northern portion of the US, and extending as far south on this coast as northern California. We're to have possible record lows here, although they missed last night's forecast by ten degrees Fahrenheit. I have no objections to a little snow, but if it really does hit 9 degrees (that's minus 12 Centigrade), it will be a record for the last week of  February at my station, established over thirty years ago in this location. Previous late-February lows have been 11 F. in 2006 and 14 F. in 2018. Thanks, but that's a record I'd prefer not to break!
