It is winter, so the GSD Staff hopes you're enjoying the cold temps. The sub-freezing temps are keeping the snow around, and at least there is enough for sledding and some skiing.
As is often the case, we have good news and bad news for the week ahead. We could see a few more inches of snow on Tuesday, but that snow is going to change to rain on Wednesday and Thursday. There's not a lot of liquid associated with the snow portion so totals will be light, and it's going to be highly annoying to see the warm-up midweek and the return of mud season.

| The Euro model's prediction for Tuesday afternoon snow. |
As the precipitation moves in on Tuesday, there will be enough cold air at ground level to give us a period of snow and sleet. We could see 1-2 inches during the afternoon on Tuesday. Afternoon activities are definitely in jeopardy on Tuesday, especially if sleet mixes in. On Wednesday, the warm air will have lifted into our region and the precipitation will fall as rain. We are then expected to see rain on Wednesday and Thursday (and maybe even Friday morning) and temps soaring up into the high 40s. We're very unhappy with this development.
Even though it's only mid-January, we are starting to get the sense that we're running out of time for this winter to be a productive one. Right now Old Man Winter is getting a D- grade. He has a chance to turn it around--not unlike some high school seniors we may know--but time is of the essence. Hopefully we'll have better news in the next week or so as we round the corner and head into February.
