Nothing To See Here (Week of March 23-29)

On this rainy Sunday (March 22) and the first day of spring, the last few snow piles are almost gone and we seem well on our way milder weather.

We may catch a flurry or two on Monday, but according to NWS Albany, "weather impacts from precipitation are not anticipated for this week." Eastern Mass and northern New England will see measurable snow but not us.

The rest of the week is looking cool early (30s), milder midweek (50s), but then back to cool for the weekend (high 30s). 

We still can not rule out a final snow storm at some point in the next month or so, but at least for this week we can confidently say student, teachers, and staff will be putting in a full week.

April vacation is only four weeks away!

Winter Returns Next Week (March 16-20)

The Ides of March are nearly upon us. Old Man Winter is on the ropes, but it's likely he has a few more tricks up his sleeve before we wrap up the 2025-26 season.

Hopefully you've gotten outside to enjoy the incredible warmth the last few days. Unfortunately, the spring preview is coming to an end and winter will return in the next few days.

After a cold front comes through Wednesday afternoon and night, temperatures will revert to the norm and we will see daily highs in the 30s through the weekend.

The next chance for snow will be Friday night when we might see a period of very light snow (under 1"). We're also looking at Monday night into Tuesday as another opportunity for snow. Another cold front will push through our region and the rain associated with the front will change to snow as the temps dip below freezing (Monday night). We don't think there will be enough for a delay on Tuesday, but we'll keep an eye on it.

It will definitely feel like winter on Tuesday and Wednesday with high temps in the mid-20s. We might even get down to single digits Wednesday morning so don't put the hat and gloves away just yet.

Delays and Closings for Friday, March 6
