Wet weather ahead.
The seven-day forecast for Williams shows a ten-percent chance of rain tomorrow jumping to 60-percent Friday through Saturday. This will probably present some icy conditions which residents should be aware of.
While that will probably wipe out the remainder of the ice sculptures, a chance of snow is predicted starting Sunday night and continuing. Flagstaff can expect similar conditions.
And we think we have it bad.
Jimmy Kimmel explained January 11 that the people of Los Angeles are suffering through a cold snap with temperatures dropping to a frigid mid-50s. We lucky folks are experiencing a warming trend expected to reach a high of 47-degrees by Saturday. Apparently it won’t be long before the good people of L.A. will have to have FEMA bring them propane heaters.
Snow Sunday in Williams
The long range forecast gives a 30% chance of snow Sunday night through Monday. Although little snow accumulation is expected, high temperatures will drop below 40-degrees. The temperatures should rise to the lower 40s the rest of the week thereafter.
White Christmas, but sunny today.
Last Advent concert at St John’s Episcopal-Luthern Church
The last of the Advent musical presentations ended last Sunday at the St John’s Episcopal-Lutheran Church. Of course they invite visitors and new members to the 100-year old Church anytime.
The predicted snow of last night was less than spectacular leaving less than one-inch to add to the snow of the previous storms. Still there is plenty of snow left to construct that snowman as visitors to the Polar Express will attest to.
Light snow and rain is forecast for Wednesday during the day raising to a 50% chance on Thursday to deliver up to two-inches of fresh powder. Friday follows with a slight chance of light snow before 11 a.m. clearing to give us a sunny Saturday with a chance of snow the following two days.
Visitors to the Polar Express are reminded that they should stop at one of the local stores to purchase gloves for their kids.
This is, also, the last week in which you can visit Bearizona Drive-Thru animal park during the weekdays. During January and February they will only be open on Saturday and Sunday during their normal hours of 8 a.m. with the last car being admitted at 4 p.m. They have a GPS system which gives you a personalized tour of the park. After driving through the main attraction you can relax and take a stroll among the animals and take in the Raptor Show in the walk-through area.
We experienced hunters don’t need the GPS, but it might be useful for you tourists

Meanwhile, another storm is beginning to impact the Pacific Northwest and northern California, where heavy mountain snow and coastal flash flooding are possible through at least Thursday.
As the Winter Solstice takes hold tomorrow and the world ends, Williams should remain clear until Christmas Eve on Monday when we are likely to see snow. Snow accumulations are not yet forecast. Currently it is sunny but cool with temperatures expected to reach a high of 50 while at night lows reaching 2 degrees.
Snow. Really. Someday.
Ice forms at the Santa Fe dam.
Winter is upon us, however, complete with ice even forming at the Santa Fe dam.

Forecast includes clear for Clean and Beautiful
WILLIAMS—The seven-day forecast shows an 80% chance of rain for Thursday night with a slight chance Friday. However it is predicted to clear for the Williams Clean and Beautiful campaign Saturday.
The clean-up event ends with a barbeque around noon after completion at the Recreation Center. Everyone is invited to join the event by showing up at the Recreation Center parking lot by the new community stage to get a bag for trash.
Williams, like other communities, still has a problem with plastic bag flags and aircraft blowing in the wind. The issue was taken up once, but the problem continues. Safeway was collecting bags returned to the store for recycling. They can, also, be used in some trash containers as alternative trash bags or used to clean up after your pets when walking them as required by city ordinance.
For smoking visitors or residence, the Williams Chamber located in the Williams Visitor Center offers pocket ash trays which can be used while walking through town. They are safer than dropping your cigarette butts into a trash can and can be disposed of later.
In addition residents can dispose of spent electronics at the dump located on Rodeo Road next to the Rodeo grounds. Residents have a week after to dump yard trash for free. They can also call the city to get rid of one used appliance.
