As of this morning, there were still a couple hundred thousand people with no power from Wednesday's ice storm, so I hope everyone is safe and warm...

Keep on the lookout for black ice tonight as the temperature gets down to about 12.

On to the much-discussed weekend.  To be concise, we are lacking the ingredients we would need for a major snowfall.  Saturday will be cold (high of 31) and mostly cloudy with a few snow showers likely in the late afternoon/evening range.  Expect a mere coating from this action, but no appreciable accumulation.  (This will be a "nuisance event," though, meaning that you should check the Doppler before you go out to see if you're likely to encounter snow.  Remember: it doesn't take much snow at all to make the roads slippery, and even less to make people forget how to drive.)

On Sunday morning, expect a bit more snow.  We could have light accumulations in some areas (an inch or two at most), but the majority of people will just have snow showers, tapering to flurries in the afternoon.

Der Graupel-Hassel-Hund (literally, sky fruit hirsute dog) poses in 1989 with his single "Looking for Freedom." Just take a moment to take a tall drink of Hoff: the chest fur, the ripped jeans, the superfluous leather. How is he not a bigger star? you wonder. He is the biggest star, I correct you.Monday looks sunny, windy, and cold (high 28); Tuesday will be even colder with a high of only 24.  Overnight lows for both days will be in the lower teens.

The Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning time frame is looking provocative for a winter storm.  Right now I'd say this is looking likely, and it's setting up for an early dismissal Wednesday and a day off Thursday.

But!  I think this coming week will bring our LAST SNOW DAY OF THE SCHOOL YEAR!!  I think.

After that, things warm up a bit: highs in the 40s on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  And the 50s by the end of the following week (2/19, 2/20, 2/21)!

Stay tuned for updates...
