Intense Snow Showers to End

The cold front came through with a vengeance on Thursday with the peak winds occurring during the morning commute. The evening commute Thursday was dicey as the snow showers picked up in intensity and coated the ground and the roadways. Unfortunately for those wishing for a delay on Friday morning, it's not going to happen. Winds and snow showers will diminish considerably.

This weekend we could see light snow Sunday, and then we also might get a shot of the white stuff Monday night into Tuesday. Again, as we indicated in our last post, the amount of snow will be very light and should not affect the length of the school day either Monday or Tuesday. We have a better shot at a delay on Tuesday, but we're urging our readers not to hold their collective breaths.

Still, we have our eye on a late week storm (Thursday or Friday of next week). Ski resorts, cross-country skiers, sledders and tubers all need this storm to come through in a bad way. Whether or not we get a snow day out of it, we need a more substantial snow base if we're to get the most out of this winter.

Keep your fingers crossed, and you might start doing a nightly snow dance to ensure that next week's storm is legitimate.
