A few news items related to the weather: <\/p>\n

  1. \nThis is why airports sometimes close during snow storms<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. \nSnow storms cost cities a lot of money<\/a>. And airports<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. \nWhile NOAA claims that 2006 was the warmest year ever in the US<\/a>, I think it was all because Denver became a cold sink in the last two weeks of the year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And, meanwhile, the next storm is hurtling in<\/a> … <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    This week’s storm will start with a “wintry mix” – freezing drizzle that develops about midday Thursday before changing to snow overnight into Friday. <\/p>\n

    “It’s gonna get cold – really, really cold,” said Carl Burroughs, a meteorologist in Boulder with the National Weather Service. <\/p>\n

    Temperatures are expected to drop into single digits Thursday night. Nighttime lows will be zero or below through Monday and maybe Tuesday, with daytime temperatures at 10-15 degrees above zero. <\/p>\n

    It’s too early to tell how much snow will come. Weather statements are expected to be issued today, although TV meteorologists Wednesday predicted from 3 to 8 inches in the metro area. <\/p>\n

    “There is the potential for a significant amount of snow,” Burroughs said Wednesday. “We could get nothing or we could end up with a whole bunch.” <\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Though the current forecast for our neck of the woods is Thursday high of 37, low of 9, 20% chance of snow; Friday 20\/2 and 50% chance: Saturday 12\/-2 and 50%, Sunday 14\/-2 and a 20% chance. <\/p>\n

    Still on the fence about the Twelfth Night (not helped by such fearless predictions as the above). Our street is still kind of a mess, and a lot will depend on how it looks tomorrow (since I don’t expect, even if there’s zero snow, that we’ll lose much of what’s already on the ground Friday). If nothing else, I expect the temps will keep a lot of folks home regardless (though we’ll have plenty of hot gl\u00f6g and punch).<\/p>\n
