Week of February 5: Dry and Sunny and Mild yet a Storm Looms in the Distance

Our stormy pattern has turned as Old Man Winter appears to be enjoying a mid-season break. Fortunately, it appears he's not going to take too much time off as many in the weather world are eyeing a late Monday/Early Tuesday snow event (Feb 12/13). A snow day in the week before the public schools tae their February break would not be a terrible turn of events.

Your vitamin D is going to get a big boost this week as we should see bright sun and clear skies until the end of the week. The pattern will be mid-30s during the day and mid-teens at night, which is good for artificial snow production at the facilities that need it. Get outside and enjoy the sun.

Because we're over a week out, what we are about to tell you about the 12/13th storm must be taken with a great deal of skepticism. But we are seeing snow from both models. The trusty Euro is showing a more substantial event (4-8" countywide) for Tuesday, and the American is coming in a little lower and slightly later (2-4"). We don't like how warm it's going to be leading into the storm--approaching 50 degrees on Saturday--but we do like how there's some agreement already.

Projection for Tuesday, Feb. 13. Don't get too excited as it's early yet. But this has the look of a long during storm, which could make snow day calls on Monday/Tuesday very interesting.

We're going to monitor it all week. If the storm becomes increasingly more probable, we'll start in with daily updates on Wednesday. If we don't update by then, it will not be a good sign.
