Quiet And Cold Week Ahead

That big storm we were hoping for on Sunday is going to happen. Unfortunately, it is going to do all of its damage to our south. We might see a few clouds from this big storm, but no snow is expected for the weekend. The Midwest, the Appalachians, and the Virginia/DC area will all be the big winners this weekend.

You probably noticed how darn cold it is. And it is going to stay cold this week, setting up excellent pond skating conditions. Sunday looks like a great day to dust off the ol' skates and get some outdoor exercise. As the week goes along, the temps will start to moderate, but in general we'll be below historical averages this week with the cold.

As for the good stuff--the white stuff--we won't see any of it until maybe at the end of the week. A few minor disturbances are expected to infiltrate our area starting on Friday with minor accumulating snow showers and periods of snow during the weekend. It's much too early to know if Friday morning's commute to school will be impacted so don't waste any mental energy thinking about it.

If you have friends in the areas above, live vicariously through them this weekend.
