Scattered snow showers tonight, flurries tomorrow

Hi there.

Tonight (Wednesday 12/10), we'll see windy conditions with scattered snow showers.  There will be little to no accumulation, but during a period of steadier snowfall we could see a slick spot or two (even some reduced visibility), so be careful.  (Watch your bridges and overpasses, too, since they tend to freeze sooner than other paved surfaces.)

Tomorrow (Thursday 12/11), we'll see mostly cloudy and windy conditions continue.  Scattered snow showers (and later, flurries) throughout the day.  There may even be a period or two of steadier snow that'll produce some "are we getting out early"s and "can we open the window"s, but won't last.

Chance of delay Thursday, 32%

Chance of cancellation Thursday, 7%

Friday 12/12 will be breezy and seasonably cold with times of clouds and sun.  It will be dry (no snow or rain or whatnot), but not great for being outside.  Highs will be in the upper 30s, and winds will be out of the west-northwest at 15-20mph.  So at, say, 1pm, it'll be 38 degrees out but it'll feel like 27.  So it's not the best day to be outdoors, so if you have a job like construction worker, or surveyor, or garbage collector, or educator who needs to march his or her kids from one place to the next, gird your loins.  If you must be outside--let's say, you are required to do so, like it's your job--then bundle up.  It'll feel like it did today when we left school--chilly and unpleasantly brisk--minus the snow showers.

The weekend looks a bit milder (highs in the low to mid 40s), less windy, and certainly sunnier.  Overnight lows just a short-hair below freezing.

Next week looks really nice: seasonable and dry.  Highs will be in the 40s for the week, and then no frozen precipitation straight through to Christmas.  Still looking at December 27th-29th as a potential snowmaker, and expect it to get downright frigid right around that time, too.

Stay tuned for updates!
