3/17- A Bit Clearer Forecast

Happy FRIDAY and St. Patrick's Day everyone!

Today is going to be just fine, albeit cold, but the big story is of course the snow for the weekend. The models are coming into a bit better agreement, with a general range of 0-5". I'll take the middle road here and say that most areas can expect 1-3" of snow. This could very much change, as this type of system- called a Norlun Trough- is notoriously difficult to forecast. It's happened a few times with these things where the forecast was 2-4" and I got 15"...so that's how finnicky these can be. In any case, early next week looks fine, with some showers possible on Tuesday. This busts us out of the pattern we've been in, and tomorrow night *could* be the last significant snowfall of the season but...we shall see!
