Cold and Mostly Dry Period to Start 2013

Old Man Winter ended 2012 much better than he started the year as he graced us with another 4.5" of magical powder. Way to go, big guy! But you still owe us for last winter's anemic performance. And, yes, we're still bitter.

From the friendly folks of Accuweather
Speaking of bitter, let's talk cold. It's on the way. Temps will be 10 and 20 degrees below normal toward the end of the week. Geesh. Logically, the first question you have is will we have a freeze day or freeze delay? We'd love to see that scenario, but our cold weather expert in the GSD Office says "ain't no way." It will be chilly but not that chilly.

So it's on to 2013 and all the wonderful possibilities. The coastal storm train we were just riding on has sadly come to the end of its line. We have a series of very weak Alberta Clipper type systems heading our way, but there will be little moisture associated with these storms because of the dip in temps we're expecting. We may see a dusting late night Monday into Tuesday and a few snow showers here and there Wednesday and Thursday but nothing to get worked up about.

We're looking at some stormy action toward the middle or end of the week of January 7th as our next real possibility of a delay or full snow day. Until then...
