Syzdekistan

The National Weather Service forecast for tomorrow includes a 70% chance of rain, highs in the 40s and snow mixed with rain and snow levels down to 2500 feet tomorrow night with light accumulations possible.

If any of those things happen, I will be happy. For Syzdekistan, our last heavy rain was in February when we got 1.27 inches of rain (mostly on the 7th (0.88 inches) and the 16th (0.26). Our last measurable rain was on September 4 with 0.02 inches. The good folks at Accuweather are predicting a 0.79 inch rain event on Monday which is a downgrade from roughly 1.3 inch range they were predicting for the last few days. I’ve been enjoying the nippy days with highs in the 40s and always get excited to see snowflakes in the air. We had a couple of snow events last December (and even in April 2009) including one that closed the schools (The Snowpocolypse), so it’s not too exciting but I always enjoy hearing everyone freak that there are snowflakes in Vegas. It happens every year.

Of course, working outside on an aquatic invertebrate project will probably be a little unpleasant but it will make for some good stories later.
