Our snow is gone except for patches here and there, and there is no precipitation in our forecast for the next week.  There are also no normal temperatures  in the forecast next week.  Although we aren’t receiving the nasty weather that is affecting the eastern states,  that storm pattern is responsible for our continued below-normal temperatures.  It will warm up briefly this weekend and I’m hoping that the remaining snow will finally be gone.
