Snow today, snow tomorrow, snow for life.

OK maybe not, but much like yesterday forecasters are calling for snow flurries to basically hover around for the majority of the morning and afternoon before tapering off later this evening, and finally picking up steam again tomorrow morning and afternoon. We’re not expecting large accumulations or anything, but just enough to coat everything in a fresh layer of snow dust.

The good news is temperatures are warming up, and by Halloween things are actually looking downright gorgeous with a forecast high of 7 C and a modest low of -6 C. Not a terrible day/night for trick-or-treating. At least the kiddos won’t have to wear a parka over their costume (been there).
