Short-Term (Next Week):
- We’re in for a mixed bag. A few mild days, some rain midweek, and then another cold snap around Thursday.
- Might see some flurries early Saturday, but nothing major.
- Nights are still dipping below freezing, so don’t get ahead of yourself thinking spring is here just yet.
Long-Term (Next Month or Two):
- Spring is trying to push through, but it’ll come in fits and starts—warm one day, cold the next.
- Expect plenty of rain, and maybe even some late snow squalls before April settles in.
- If the weather systems don’t shift enough, we could be in for a dry, warm spell later on.
What It Means for the Farm & Garden:
- Planting: Hold off on putting anything tender in the ground. Frost is still a real threat at night.
- Soil Moisture: Should be decent for now with the rain coming, but if the weather swings dry later, we might have to keep an eye on it.
- Fire Risk: If we get some warm, dry air moving in from the south, it could dry things up fast. Don’t go burning brush carelessly.
- Livestock: If you’ve got animals, they’ll be dealing with some wild swings in temps. Make sure they’ve got shelter from the wind and rain.
In short, spring is trying, but winter’s still got a few punches left. Keep the heavy coat handy, don’t trust the warm days too much, and watch the sky.
