You're On Vacation--What's The Weather Going To Be?

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Christmas Day was pretty dreary--the second rainy Christmas in a row for the Berkshires--and the hoped-for transition to snow on the back end of the storm--once again--did not materialize.

So far this winter has been a dud. The models have been giving us some hope with some of these storms, but except for the Thanksgiving weekend surprise 5 inches and a couple of inches on December 9th, this winter is stuck in first gear.

So...what's it going to do this week? Will it snow? Will it be cold? Are there any storms on the horizon?

Monday -- Decent day. Chilly by our standards this winter with the high temp unlikely to get above freezing. Possible inch of snow after midnight.

Tuesday -- Warmer. Back up to the low 40s, setting up a rainy Tuesday night with some sleet possibly mixing in for higher elevation towns.

Wednesday -- A rainy start but overall a grey day. Low 40s.

Thursday -- Hey, something new. Some breaks of sun. But temps still up into the low 40s.

Friday -- See Thursday.

Saturday/Sunday -- Now we're talking. Some models are showing a snow storm, maybe even a legitimate one. If it snows, we're looking at 3-5" on Sunday afternoon and night. (The North American model is the only one showing this storm; the Euro prognostication is for merely a dusting. But we'll be monitoring it all week).

Once again we are pinning are snow hopes on a storm that is a week away. Eventually the models have to get one of these storms right.
