The first part of the storm arrived on Friday night and we received about 2 inches of snow on the weather sensors with a bit less than that on the snow stake cam.

On Saturday, we should see more snow showers around, though my forecast confidence is low as we will be in between the first part of the storm that passed us on Friday night and the second part of the storm that will track to our northwest on Saturday night.

My best estimate is that we'll see another 1-3 inches on Saturday, and perhaps an additional 1-3 inches on Saturday evening. We might be on the upper end of this range if (a) we get a few intense storm cells on Saturday, and (b) we can eke out additional snow showers on Saturday night into Sunday as the storm moves away to the east. Sometimes, these departing storms can strengthen and produce more snow than expected behind the system. 

The summary is to enjoy some slightly softer turns now on Saturday, and perhaps on Sunday morning as well.

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday will be chilly with high temperatures in the teens, then we'll see a slight warm-up with high temperatures in the 20s for the rest of the week.

Following the storm this weekend, most of Christmas week will be dry with just a lower chance for some snow showers earlier in the week.

There could be more snow during the first five days of 2024, but that's pretty speculative at this point, so we'll wait and see and hope for the best.

Thanks for reading!
