Warmer weather (thaws) this week, RAIN next week

Daytime temperatures will start to climb above freezing this week, particularly on Wednesday (13th) and perhaps again this weekend (Jan. 16-17).

Next week will likely be even warmer with both daytime highs and nighttime lows above freezing before the end of next week. We will also have a good chance of rain or drizzle during this time. Weather is usually pretty tough to predict that far ahead, but the signals are very strong this time. If the weather turns out as predicted, we will probably lose most of our snowcover, which means any outdoor recreation based on natural snow will come to an end. Therefore, it would be a good idea to try to do those things (skiing, snowmobiling, etc.) this week.
