Today is our day…not just those of us who work on this page, but you! If you have ever posted your weather information on this website, Facebook or COCORAHS, you are a weatherperson.
2-5-22-2:30pm update…
The low this morning at Stevens Field before their weather sensor shut down due to cold temperatures (very frustrating) was 3 degrees, but most of us saw lows below zero again. Our home about a mile north of Hatcher Lake dropped to -8 and Shawn and Arleen’s sensor dropped to -10. The high so far today has been 33 degrees. There was no precipitation recorded in our area.
A ridge of high pressure has decided to camp out over the west for the foreseeable future, so any odds of precipitation will be close to nil for at least a week, if not more. Temperatures will slowly rise from below normal to above normal by the end of the week. Expect a lot of sunshine this week!
The long-range models continue to give us some hope for a pattern change around the 17-19th of February, but since we are almost two weeks away, it’s hard to get very excited yet.

With La Niña again in control, do our local conditions still reflect a positive snowpack? Is NOAA able to predict potential run-off at this early date – I know run-off was low for the snowpack we had last year so I’m concerned that the same thing might occur this year.
Hi Rodney. Please see Shawn’s update from earlier this week… https://pagosaweather.org/2022/01/31/pagosa-weather-january-summary-and-february-outlook/
