Wild Dip Dusts The Tops.

Many thanks this morning to David Broome for being the quick draw with the digital camera and e-mail. David shot these pictures at his home on Signal Mountain before 6 am this morning, reporting about one inch of snow, mainly on above ground objects. From David's description, he lives about 4 miles from Casa Benson. This is wild stuff. I was literally jogging with Dudley-Dog on Wednesday atop Signal in shorts and a sweatshirt. Wednesday it reached 62 at my house. This morning, snow. And by Sunday we'll be back to the upper 50s to low 60s across the area.
The big jetstream dip that's making it cold for the first time this year will lift out this weekend. Southwest surface winds pick up, and voila! Back to Spring-like temps.
The jetstream looks to fly west to east across the nation next week so we'll keep temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above our average of 48.
So the old weather saying that is adopted by every corner of the country hold true here, "If you don't like the weather now, wait a minute and it will change."
