Greetings, weather hounds! Spring has firmly established herself in our area, and we should see considerable thickening of the leaves and growth of flowers this week. All you allergy sufferers could be in for a very difficult week.
Monday and Tuesday will be the coolest days this week, with highs in the low 60s. From Wednesday through the weekend, we're looking at mostly sun and highs around 70. Break out the shorts for good!
Our best chance of rain will be Monday afternoon and Monday night, and then we're really not quite sure when it's going to rain again. We might see a very brief shower on Friday, but it's unlikely that moisture will develop.
Get out and enjoy this dry spring weather!

2013 Writing Contest Winners!
After a few day delay (and thank you for your patience), we hereby announce the winners of the 1st Annual Greylock Snowday Writing Competition!
Over 40 students entered this year's competition, and our panel read an impressive array of stories. (Panelists read the stories without any names attached to them, only grades). We read about grizzly deaths from snow, a Chris van Allsburg-inspired tale, a story about a mysterious riddle from atop Mt. Greylock, Jack Frost as a cold and hot lover, snow with bipolar disorder, and many stories involving epic proportions of snow.
The final decision was in no way an easy one, but here are the commended stories, in addition to the big winners:
HONORABLE MENTION:
Katelin Marchand -- Mt. Greylock RHS (10th)
Aaron Kleiner -- Mt. Greylock RHS (8th)

Happy Vacation!
Get out and enjoy the sunny weather today...it's gorgeous out there. Today and tomorrow will be delightful with temps in the low 60s and lots of sun. Friday will get warmer--close to 70--with more clouds. Unfortunately, the rain comes in on Saturday ahead of a cold front, and then we'll see mid-50s with sun on Sunday.
The GSD Writing Contest winners will be announced shortly--please be patient as we contact winners!

Sleet Attack
The sleet is starting to accumulate here at the GSD Office. The roads are probably passable right now but deteriorating. We won't be surprised to see some schools make all the good boys and girls go home directly after school and not pass "Go" nor collect their $200.
Fortunately for the road conditions, temps are gradually rising. There will still be slick spots in certain low-lying areas, but conditions will improve marginally as we make our way toward sunset.
Look for the heaviest sleet and rain to end around 2:30 or 3:00 with showers likely after that point.
