Sunshine, then snow

Summary

We'll see dry weather for the next six days, then snow should return starting around Friday, March 4.

Update

Friday brought a mix of sunshine and snow showers with about 1 inch of accumulation.

Early on Friday night, we saw snow showers with a dusting of accumulation, then skies cleared and this allowed the temperature to drop to around -5°F now on Saturday morning.

The next six days – Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday – will all be dry and mostly sunny, and temperatures will warm up a little bit each day. On Saturday, the high will be in the teens. On Sunday and Monday, the high will be around 30°F. And on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, temperatures will be very warm with a high in the upper 30s to low 40s with a springtime feeling in the air.

Then our weather pattern will shift from sunshine to stormy. Snow should return starting around Friday, March 4, and we'll have a chance for snow each day after that, through the weekend and into the following week. But, I have very low confidence in the details of the forecast after March 4 and, at this point, I cannot pin down which days might offer the most snow. We'll figure it out, but it will likely be many days until we are more confident in the details of the forecast.

Thanks for reading and please check back each morning for daily updates!
