Looking Ahead to December 8-12

It was a good week of winter with our first snow day of the season on Tuesday and our lowest temperature of the season on Friday. Now that we have a snow base and continued cold in the forecast, hopefully we can build on what has started.

In the next week we are looking at a few chances to add to the base. Sunday night we may see a half inch, and then we are looking more intently at a Wednesday/Thursday wintery precipitation event.

Temps will ease a bit this weekend and move closer toward freezing for daily highs. But another cold shot of air--even colder than today's--will move in for Monday. Monday's high will be in the mid teens and Tuesday morning will very cold with temps in the -5 to -10 degree range. We suppose we could see a freeze delay for a school district or two but that seems like a long-shot.

The Euro-AI model is showing a more optimistic snow total for Thursday.

Some kind of frozen precipitation will fall from the sky on Wednesday afternoon, night, and Thursday morning. Models are not showing a lot of snow--only between 2 and 4 inches--and meteorologists are seeing a potential snow to mixed precipitation set-up. Temps will hover around freezing so wet snow and/or sleet and freezing rain are possibilities depending on your elevation.

If anything is going to happen on Thursday, then delays would be the more likely outcome. As of today it's too messy and variable for us to give you anything definitive other than a small chance for delays.

Have a great weekend, and thanks for supporting the staff at Greylock Snow Day.
