Mazatlan Weather Report

Samo Samo Is The New Ditto Ditto 

I forgot to mention the winter storm we talked about Monday is named Vulcan (and did you notice we're all the way up V on the alphabetical list to name storms!)  Of course I consulted with Dr. Spock, who's the expert, and he informed me the worst is over for the Midwest.  However during a mild meld as the storm passed over Cleveland, Spock learned that Vulcan intended to hammer New England...big time.

 

As occasionally happens, this Canadian Clipper wreaked more of its' damage on the American side of the border.  Edmonton was all but unaffected.  Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec will get snow Friday and Saturday, but only about 2.5 to maybe 5 cm (an inch or two).  However the temperatures and wind chill won't be too bad, about 2 (mid 30's F.) with moderate winds.   

 

In the meantime 700 flights were canceled in Chicago as The Windy City officially hit the third snowiest winter on record.  Detroit has already hit their all time record for the white stuff.  Then tragedy struck in Ohio, as near white out conditions caused a 50 car pileup and three people lost their lives.

 

Snow totals really picked up as Vulcan moved East / Northeast.  The Killington, Vermont ski resort tweeted they were getting 1" of snow an hour (2.5 cm) yesterday, with 24 inches (61 cm) already and it's still falling today!  Many areas of New Hampshire and up-state New York will see at least two feet of snow, while Bangor, Maine had a dose of sleet.   

       

In the meantime Mazatlan continues to have weather conditions so stable that it's bordering on the ridiculous.  Yesterday was like the day before, and today will be just like tomorrow.  Warm, clear, and beautiful, with the variation in temperature from day to day so minor you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.  Samo Samo has become the new Ditto Ditto.

 

In a shocking turn of events we may actually see a slight change...gasp!  Oh wait, we're talking about some partial overcast for one day on Saturday?  Well, at least that will help you distinguish it from Sunday...LOL  Let me add those larger waves we thought might come in for your viewing pleasure Sunday at Mr. Lionoso's?  Not happening, but a potentially large storm near Antarctica is developing, so the following weekend could see a lot of surfers heading to Playa Bruja. 

 

I'm sorry the weather is so boring, and wish I could offer you something other than Pacific Pearl Paradise.  Somehow we've got to stick together and deal with the trials and tribulations of this numbing sameness...;^)  P.S. Keep the sun tan oil handy, because after Saturday they'll be several straight days of Ditto Ditto crystal blue skies and hardly a cloud in sight.  Drat!
