Snow Showers & Squalls to Start 2013

The weather you are seeing today--windy, intermittent snow showers--will be with us all week. A series of cold fronts, warm fronts, and Alberta clipper-type systems will be passing through our region for the next week or so. We will see breaks of sun, wind, clouds, snow showers, and even a sustained squall or two that could coat the roadways. A veritable potpourri, as they say.

Nothing in the short and long-term forecast suggests a winter storm is on the way. Fortunately, the cold air will be in place to keep this snow around for a while for all the skiers, sledders, and snowshoers out there. The bitter cold we thought was going to hit us on Friday is now not a concern. Temps will be below normal as we move toward the weekend but not ridiculously low.

Our best chance for a delay or snow day won't happen until the middle or end of the week of January 7. How about a four-day weekend (with MLK Jr. Day) for January 11-14? Let's pray to the snow gods real hard for that and see if we can make it happen.

Happy New Year!
