THE WEATHER REPORT
BY
Weatherman Jack

The expected cold snap came and went

in only 3 days. It was followed by
mild, moist air which produced a lot

of cloud and threatened us with rain
and snow. Cloud cover has a moderating
and stabilizing effect on temperatures
which accounts for the calm, mild,
overcast days in the past week.

What's coming? Well.....February

came in like a lion (-16°C) and seems
to be going out as a lamb (+°C). We
seem to be 2-3 weeks premature for the
season which leads me to suspect that
the beginning of March will be cool

and wet (a mixture of rain and snow).

I don't expect it will last too long
and will again return us to above aver-
age temperatures with sunshine in early
mid-March. Spring is coming soon!

I was here last spring and springtime
in the Rockey Mountain Foothills is a
thrill I'm looking forward to again.
It's noticeably clean and fresh and the
sun is quite warm. A work of caution
however....the breezes are deceptively
cool and could ruin an otherwise
beautiful spring with colds and flues.

Wx Jack.

regular meeting Wed., 9 Feb. at the
Community Hall. 23 people attended.

Glenda Radies informed us a dentist
