Somewhat Important Note:

Due to the popularity of the blog, I receive numerous Facebook requests before potential snowstorms. Although I am flattered that you want to follow me on Facebook, I would ask that you not friend request me unless you know me in real life. It's nothing personal, I've just decided I don't want too many friends on Facebook.

Thanks, John

Day-by-day

We could get snow/cold days on four days this week.

Tuesday: We are going to see 2-4" of snow tonight and 1-3" of snow tomorrow for a total of 3-6" of snow with the next system moving through. This amount of snow combined with wind gusts of 25 mph will allow for near-whiteout conditions tomorrow morning. However, temperatures are not supposed to be very cold until after school Tuesday, so I think we have school tomorrow. Tough call though.

Then, on Wednesday through Friday, we should have a good chance of a snow day each day, because we should have lows well below 0 Tuesday Night through Thursday Night, with wind chills between -10 and -25 degrees each night. Conditions will be especially dangerous Thursday Morning as we should get another 3-6" of snow on Wednesday and Wednesday Nightm, and winds of up to 30 mph will allow all that snow to blow around again. However, unlike tomorrow morning, temperatures will be below 0 Thursday Morning and wind chills will probably be flirting with -25 degrees. So, I would say Thursday has to be the best chance for a snow/cold day this week, followed by Wednesday and Friday.

Basically, to summarize, here's why we could get snow/cold days on Tuesday through Friday.

Tuesday: 3-6" of snow Monday Night - Tuesday Morning, near whiteout conditions.

Wednesday: Extremely cold temperatures; -15F wind chills

Thursday: 3-6" of snow Wednesday Afternoon - Early Thursday Morning; wind chills up to -25F
Friday: Same as Wednesday
