A "Bonus" Day Of Warmth... And Snow This Sunday?

If you're like me you've definitely been enjoying this change in weather fortunes over the past couple of days. We went from bone-chilling cold last week to more moderate temperatures - but with clouds. Finally, we broke free of all of that today and got into the upper 30s and had sunny skies as well.

I went out and snapped a picture of the Big Sioux River's melting - right near our station. That's definitely a welcome sight - even knowing that a cold snap is on the way for this weekend (highs back in the single digits and low teens).

Here's the latest on the snow we're looking for this weekend:

If you read our blog post last night we were seeing two different systems mashing together and not much of a break between the two, but now things have been sorted out a bit. It looks like the bulk of the snow will fall on Sunday - and now we just have to figure out exactly where, and how much... We're having problems with the blog system as I try to upload the next image, but if I can get it sorted out you'll see that the computer models are trying to get us 4-6 inches of snow for this next storm... right now I'd say 2-4" is more likely, and we'll see if even that holds true.

Have a great night!

I'll do my best. Hopefully you saw the "coupon" I gave people during the news for one more day of warmth. Unfortunately it's only good for tomorrow (Thursday). Have a great Thursday & thanks for commenting!
