Spring Ahead
We set the clocks ahead and the day is longer, ummmm not it’s not!! If we could make the day longer some would want it 28 hours and make us work the elongation of time so an extra 4 hours!! All we did was change the time and it thus resulted in the time of sun being moved from the early morning now to the evening so we have light at the end of the day more at the beginning. I love it when people say we extended daylight LOL!
Tranquil Week
A tranquil week weather wise for us this week but the great plains will be dealing with a massive storm that will bring blizzard conditions to this region. We’ll have chilly seasonable temps Wednesday and warm up again Thursday and Friday with temps feeling very spring like but rain on Friday. This will be a curve ball as it does in March to us. But enjoy this week for next week we must keep an eye on a possible coastal storm.
Plains Blizzard
The "bomb cyclone" blizzard will have a massive wind field. Gusts over 50-mph from the Dakotas to Texas.
In eastern Colorado 60-80 mph+ gusts
Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico 65-75 mph+
While not a tropical system, winds will rival what's seen in a Category 1 hurricane. pic.twitter.com/JMlLhNLlgw— Ryan Maue (@RyanMaue) March 12, 2019
History Storms & End Game Storm
History – this time last year we were under a blizzard watch. 1888 was the most intense blizzard to hit NYC
131 years ago, one of the most significant blizzards hit the northeast. The Blizzard of 1888 brought 21 inches to NYC, but drifts were as high as 30 feet! It took about 2 weeks for the city to fully recover! pic.twitter.com/o8wwSz9dVm

This time in 1993 we were watching a superstorm form in the Gulf of Mehico and then it ravaged the east Coast with massive coastal flooding, rains, ice storm and blizzard conditions
Next week from 18-22nd we watch to see if we get an End Game storm that always seems to be lurking for March.
18th Clipper
Then we see what the 21/22nd time frame brings – hints last night were a beastly coastal storm but have backed of today – the pendulum may swing so we will see.
