It looks like we are in for a mild future. Not a Bluebird phase, perhaps, but at least a pause from the mayhem of recent daze. We've been pretty battered here lately by snow and cold. Susun and I joked today that driving the local streets felt like four wheeling in Custer County! Of course, we don't have a four wheeler here and we're driving on summertime tires. So take our assessment with a grain of snow.
As you can see by Thursday's 5-day QPF forecast, it looks totally dry across the West. Perhaps the Tetons will get a few more inches of snow. These same QPF graphs from a few days ago sure turned out to be spot on.
Idaho Falls is definitely "under the spell" of winter. Whatever you do here, where ever you go, you are aware that the slightest slip up will result in a jarring fall on ice-covered concrete or asphalt. This morning I wore Yak-Trax on my boots when I snowblowed the sidewalks. People we know here are walking very carefully each with each step--they know the cost of a slip up. Yea, verily, this is what it means to have an "epic winter." We're not complaining--it's a good thing!
