Here's some shocking news we just discovered today. You lose an hour of sleep this weekend! That's right, it's Daylight Savings Time again. You need to roll that clock ahead one hour on Saturday night. Did you know that hospitals often see a rise in heart attacks in the first few days of DST? We wonder if the clock change couldn't be done in a more incremental way.
We do have a chance of a few snow showers on Wednesday evening; a dusting is about all you can expect from this very minor disturbance.
Temps will begin to moderate toward the end of the week, and we may even hit 40 degrees by the weekend (Saturday).
After that, though, the GSD Staff Members have their eyes open to a midweek storm (March 11-12). The Euro model has us getting some form of precipitation; the North American model takes the storm out to sea south of us (similar to Monday's storm).
We wait with bated breath to see if Storm Elle comes to fruition.

No Snow, But Cold
Despite the near miss this weekend, Old Man Winter will still very much be a part of our lives for the next week.
Part of the reason the storm stayed to the south is the big high pressure system currently in place over us that will bring the temps down to single digits tonight. Brrr.
Highs Monday will be in the teens. By the end of the week (Friday) we should see temps rise above freezing during the day, which will hopefully get those maple trees pumping that good ol' Berkshire sap.
We do have half an eye on a possible stormy development for Friday, but the latest models do not bring the storm into New England. We'll monitor it closely.
This winter definitely has at least one big storm left in it. Enjoy Oscar Sunday!

Going, Going, Gone
Sorry, snow lovers, but we will not have a snow day on Monday. The storm does not have the moisture we thought it might have, nor is it tracking far enough to the north.
You can't win them all. At least April vacation is still going to happen.
Any snow we do see will fall on Sunday during the afternoon and evening hours.
We're having a few technical difficulties with the True North Confidence Meter, but we will be sorting those out as soon as we get back from Nerdfest 2014 (great time, by the way!) and get to the home office of GSD. We will be lowering the chance of a snow day to zero.
