Weather historians would say it’s unlikely that tomorrow’s forecast 2-4 inches of snow can possibly come true. It’s been five years since we had any snow at all and that was barely enough to make a snowball.
But, then, after twelve years of global cooling and an extended solar minimum, the trend is headed that way. Our winters have been coming earlier and a very cold Canadian air mass is scheduled to push through this afternoon.
Just checked the latest weather service update, however, and they’re already pooh-poohing the previously anticipated amount of snow. A low cloud deck is pushing eastward and the atmosphere is drying such that "as of right now the trend is down for accumulating snows on Friday." Looks like flurries are most likely. Whew.
UPDATE: Revised forecast at 1 p.m. has snow accumulation of less than half an inch. More like it.
