Winter Weather Advisory for Saturday Morning; Tuesday Storm Fizzling

It's getting busier around these parts, and unsettled weather will dominate the headlines for the next few weeks and, hopefully, on into the end of January. Unfortunately, we do not have any big storms in the immediate forecast. Yes, this means Tuesday's storm will fail to materialize.

First things first. We have a Winter Weather Advisory for the first half of Saturday. We may see some freezing rain in the morning before a change to all rain by noon tomorrow. We think NWS Albany is being cautious with this one, but slippery roads could slow you down if you have early morning errands or travel plans.

Saturday looks to be one of those wet and cold and unpleasant winter days where indoor sports, games, and activities are the way to go. Catch a movie (we recommend Green Book), binge a show (The Good Place is kind of fun if you haven't hit it yet), play a game (who doesn't love Rat-a-Tat Cat?).

Tuesday's storm does not appear that it wants to cooperate. The two energy systems that we needed to phase together apparently want to stay apart. Alas, we will not be getting a snow day on Tuesday as there simply will not be enough moisture to generate enough snow. Oh, we'll still see snow on Monday night and we could see some squalls on Tuesday, but it will be very light and could change over to rain at some point.

We're terribly sorry to report this news. But do not despair. We think much bigger and better storms are headed our way for the middle and end of January.

Drive safely in the morning tomorrow. We'll monitor the early week messiness, and we're keeping an eye on a storm for next weekend as well.
