Two Is Better Than One

Welcome to post #300--hooray for GSD--in which we break down the Friday fizzle and prep you for the weather week ahead.

Not only did the possible snow storm die out at sea, but our deep freeze didn't even come through. Last night was cold, but practically balmy at 1 degree Fahrenheit in the early morning hours. The wind was strong enough last evening to prevent the -10 temps that had been projected.

What's done is done, so let's move on to next week. Here's what we're offering to you, dear readers:

Tuesday AM: A relatively weak disturbance comes through our area. It starts as snow, then phases to sleet, and then changes to rain by midday on Tuesday. There's not a lot of moisture, but the chance for mixed precipitation during the morning remains a threat.

Thursday AM: A possible phasing of a couple of low pressure systems plus intensification off the coast of Long Island is one forecasted situation. If this storm comes to fruition, it will be the bigger weathermaker of the week. But if we've told you once, we've told you 300 times: the computer models are definitely not in agreement with this one just yet.

Temps will be unseasonably warm on Tuesday and Wednesday but headed back down below normal for the end of the week and the following weekend.
