Weather for Weekenders - 03/05/10

The weather today is pretty good. It is a mostly sunny day here in the valley. The snow has been melting more and more everyday. There is a significant reduction in the big piles at my house. Of course, this is a relative statement, so if you are coming up for the weekend be prepared to deal with lots of remaining drifts which are very icy at this point. Again, make sure that the person who plows for you has done your driveway. It will be a lot of work at this point to hack through what the plows have left on the side of the road. If you are going to brave it alone, have a shovel and an ice chopper ready!

Drive slowly coming up WV road especially if you are coming all the way up. The road down by Grandview is not bad but it is narrower than usual farther up the valley and trying to pass another car coming in the opposite direction can be tight. There are also still a lot of fallen branches by the side of the road. So take it slow!!!

The forecast for the next week is good with highs in the mid-forties. Let hope the snow continues to melt rapidly!!
