Hold off on planting for a little bit yet ... |

February 8, 2018 |
It's already starting to cool down as of 8:30
p.m. as a cold front begins moving through the
region, with the thermometer sitting at
28-degrees on the way to an expected overnight
low tonight in Bonners Ferry of 21. Then it gets
chilly on Friday.
The daytime high in Bonners Ferry Friday is only
expected to reach the freezing point under
partly sunny skies, and an overnight low of
14-degrees. Saturday warms a bit under mostly
sunny skies with a high of 39 and a low of 26,
but Sunday brings another cool down to about 19
with a 60-percent chance of snow.
It's going to be even more wintry in Montana,
where a winter weather advisory for snow is in
effect until 11 a.m. Friday, with the
thermometer dipping down to 17-degrees in Troy
tonight, only rising to 26 on Friday and then
diving to four degrees overnight Friday.
The warmest it's expected in Troy for the next
several days is Saturday, when the mercury
climbs all the way to 31, then it stays below
freezing through Wednesday.
Area residents are advised to make sure your
outdoor pets and livestock have a way to get out
of the breeze and that they have access to
non-chunky water. Those of you who got so
excited over the recent warm snap you went out
and plowed and planted will likely want to
peruse the seed catalogs again.
At least until the Friday following. You
diehards who just can't wait can plant then.
It's expected to be 50 in Bonners Ferry, 44 in
Troy.
If nothing else, you can get your snow peas and
iceberg lettuce started. |
