Week of January 14 Forecast

We're a lot disappointed to report that the week of Jan. 14 will not be as turbulent as we had hoped. The disappointment level has been very high lately, so we're hoping that the end of January will deliver at least one of the blockbuster storms that we have come to crave.

Our best chance for frozen precipitation is Wednesday night into the Thursday. There will be snow with this system, but the bulk of it will fall in the Adirondacks. We'd like to think that there will be some mixing of snow and sleet and rain in our region that night, but we shall see. It's been awfully warm the last few days--today especially--and a lot of our snow pack has melted, so the unseasonable warmth is definitely working against us.

The super-cold that was supposed to make its way into our region won't really hit until early in the week of the 21st. Thursday looks particularly cold--high in the mid 20s--but in general we're going to see high temps in the 30s for the next week. The biting cold should move in by MLK Jr Day.

In a way, the longer we go without a snow storm, the better. When the next storm comes--and it will happen--it's going to be a big one. The trend these days is toward these mega-storms, so we could see a monster in the back half of this month.

Keep hope alive!
