You can see that the snow is virtually on our doorstep. Some of the blue you see here is virga (which means it's not snowing quite yet), but we expect the snow will really start to come down around 8 PM tonight.
There's no question the first blast from Ginger will be all snow, and it could come down at a 1-2" per hour clip. There's no real need to go out and drive around after 10:00 PM.
The big concern is a pocket of drier air out in the Ohio Valley. If this dry air makes it all the way to Western New England, we could see a brief break in the action tomorrow morning. See this map to understand what we're talking about:
All of the weather is moving in an east-north-east direction, but that dry spot over western PA and all of Ohio could impact Berkshire County during the morning commute.That would not be ideal.
The good news, though, is that the MCAS test has been moved to Monday, as we reported earlier thanks to some very alert followers of GSD. Thanks for the tip! The postponement of the composition portion of the test will certainly make it much easier for Supers to call in the full day.
Given the timing, the threat of ice, and the fact that the storm will continue throughout the day tomorrow, we're decidedly bullish about a full snow day. Ginger is behaving in a most becoming manner, and we couldn't be happier.
We'll have a final update later this evening, and you might want to start investigating activity options other than school for the hours between 8 and 3.
pleasssssseeee snowdayyyyyyy <3
