And we did have a little bit of accumulating snow yesterday afternoon
And of course, this morning, these were the snowfall photos that we got in, only just a couple
Gary has about three quarters of an inch of snow there. Faulkner is 0.3, and Kennedy at 0.2 inches
So it was the kind of a dusty, who cares kind of snow, exactly what we told you yesterday
Any snowfall accumulation overnight, and especially this morning, was not going to be anything major
And we're going to be looking at the snow this morning, was not going to be anything major
Now, we do turn a little bit colder here as we go down the road here. Tomorrow, we're only forecasting 29
but we'll be back up to around 30 on Friday. And look at the weekend, 27 Saturday, 28 on Sunday
This is typical kind of cold for this time of the year. This isn't anything major
But some of the signs do indicate that we could be turning much colder by the end of the month
So could winter finally just get going here? We're going to likely see a big upper 12th coming in
by the end of the month. This is likely the last week of the month here going into the last week of January
Big upper 12th coming in, that's going to bring in a lot of Arctic air from the Arctic
Circle in Canada, bringing it all the way down here. And yeah, we use the word Arctic blasting here
because it is possible that we could be talking about true Arctic air by the end of the month
Is this guaranteed? No. But a lot of the long range computer models
have been thinking about this. And we'll see what happens here. We're still too far out for exact details
But of course, we'll fine tune this as we go throughout the next few weeks here
And I know a lot of you are pretty much on the phone wanting to dial the weather office
Be like, Hunter, where's my sunshine? Because look at this. We've only had four days since the 1st of December
where we've had mostly sunny to partly sunny. The clouds have really worn out
32 days here where we've had mostly cloudy or complete overcast skies here
But we do see at least some brief changes in the seven days. We'll see coming up in a minute here
So mostly cloudy through the afternoon. Scattered light snow showers. Less than an inch possible if anything does accumulate
Maybe about a half inch. That's it. There is some passive drizzle at times, especially near the shoreline communities
21 to 35 with the northwest wind averaging 5 to 10 miles per hour
Tonight, just a few scattered snow flakes. May mix with some drizzle overnight. It may freeze overnight
So be careful of that if you're going to be going out overnight. But I think the impacts are going to be minimal
But there could be some slick spots, especially by the morning commute. 23 to 29 with a north wind averaging 5 to 10 miles
per hour. The 42 degrees and sunny seven day looks like this. 29 tomorrow with mostly cloudy skies
We could see a few peaks of blue sun on Friday 30. Finally, the sunshine will break out on Saturday, but only 27
28 is Sunday. Best of mostly cloudy skies. And it looks like the clouds will continue
into early next week. But we should be back into the lower 30s by next Tuesday
