It's back to work and school for most of our readership, and fortunately the GSD staff is also back to work as well. We are currently tracking a snow situation for Wednesday night into Thursday morning that could bring the first delays of the season.
An Alberta clipper will move into our area Wednesday night. It appears that there may be enough energy with the storm to bring 2-4 inches to the area (with slightly higher amounts in the mountainous northeast corner of the county). [A reminder that Alberta Clippers are generally light or moderate snow producers. Rarely do they give us 6" or more. So there's little chance the forecast will go higher than 2-4" for this storm.]
The timing is pretty good but not ideal. Snow will fall throughout the night on Wednesday but start to taper in the morning. The big question is: will it be snowing hard enough at daybreak to cause Superintendents to delay for two hours? We would not mind seeing the storm slow down by a few hours to ensure snow during the morning commute.

The good news is that there will be plenty of cold air in place. The bad news is that the snow will be light and dry, thus easier to clear.
For now we'll say 50/50 chance for delays above Pittsfield. Pittsfield schools and those to the south will have a less inspiring 25% chance.
More to follow!
