If you enjoy having snow for Santa's big day, then this is your year. Today's cold temps will lock in over the next few days, so the current few inches that are on the ground aren't going anywhere. There will be normal erosion and evaporation of the snow, but we should get enough short bursts of an inch or two in the next week or so to keep the ground covered through the end of next week.
Speaking of bursts of an inch or two, we could see another bout of snow in the Bershires tonight. An Alberta Clipper will rip across our area from the northwest and set off a period of snow from 2 AM to 6 PM. The snow will be very light and could possibly impact the morning commute. It's possible there's a very cautious Superintendent out there who would call in a delay tomorrow, but the GSD Staff does not think that that is likely.
The good news is that our meteorological crystal ball sees three more opportunities for snow in the next 10 days. There is a chance for snow Monday, Wednesday, and Friday next week. Unfortunately, these are all Clipper-type events with not much in the way of coastal low support to bump them up to moderate or major snow storms.
This means snow totals will be generally light--1 to 3 inches--and unlikely to cause cancellations. Certainly, the possibility for multiple delays exists on all three of those days if the timing is right.
We'll have more soon.
