Active Pattern for the First Half of February

Happy February, all you flake followers. We've been studying the models this morning, and it would appear that things are starting to percolate on the snow front.

Here is the Cliff Notes version:

*Snow Sunday night (2") but it will end too soon for most students to have a delay.
*North American model shows moderate snow for Thursday (Feb. 6) but the Euro does not. Local meteorologists are eyeing light snow to wintry mix.
*Both show moderate/heavy snow (6+) for Sunday/Monday (Feb. 9/10).
*Another possible moderate storm on deck for Thursday, Feb. 13.

You can never get too excited about what the models are saying 7 and 10 and 14 days out, but all we need is one of these storms to come through in the next two weeks as we limp into February break. After such a promising December, it would be sad if we do not get one snow day in the January to February break period.

North American model for Sunday/Monday Feb. 9/10.

We'll deal with the Thursday and Feb. 9/10 storms next week, but we can tell you that after a very cold Sunday morning (negative single digits), we will see clouds move in on Sunday and the snow should start to fall shortly after nightfall. But it end well before the morning commute, which is why confidence in delays is low.

Stay warm and get ready for some shoveling over the next few weeks.
