It’s been a good week if you like snow and winter weather. Obviously, I love falling snow, but I also enjoy when the snow sticks around for awhile. A fresh arctic air mass after a snow is what I would order every time because as far as I am concerned, if it’s going to be winter, it might as well winter.
Anyway, not much to say about the system on Friday because there isn’t a consensus on how it plays out. Right now it looks like snow begins around sunrise on Friday and continues into the afternoon with a general 1-3″ across the region, with the lesser amounts to the south and higher amounts north. Much of the forecast will focus on whether the system tracks to our south, right over us, or to the north. To maximize our snow potential, we need it to track to the south and right now most models have it too far north to bring much snow, so it’s too soon to say how it plays out.
I’ll keep an eye on it and update from to time.
