Freeze Days/Delays Unlikely For Wednesday

Just a quick update tonight about the possibility for freeze delays or days tomorrow (Wednesday). 

Despite the -1 showing up on the weather station at GSD Headquarters in Williamstown as of 8 PM Tuesday, a "warm" front is moving in overnight and temps should gradually rise as we move toward daybreak. It will be at least a balmy 13 degrees in most locations by the time buses roll tomorrow for the high-schoolers.

As for snow, we're starting to hear some rumblings about a Sunday/Monday storm, so the weekend snow storm is back in the conversation. A lot of this chatter has to do with two relatively suddenly very robust runs of the American (GFS) and the European (ECMWF) model. The American shows the bulk of the snow falling on Sunday; the Euro shows a blockbuster storm for Monday.

We're definitely taking these runs of the models seriously and will be monitoring them 'round them clock. No sleep til Sunday.

Here's the GFS model (for Sunday) causing weather nerds to lose their minds. 

Just an FYI: At the moment, Saturday is expected to be colder than today with highs around 5 degrees. Friday night's temps will be well below zero. Prepare to re-bundle!

We're very excited to track this weekend storm potential because we really need more than a base of 1.5 inches of snow. Let's hope skiers have something to celebrate by Monday.
