Knock On Wood, Vermont Forecast Finally Getting Consistent For Weekend: Wet

A frozen flower on a snow dusted honeysuckle vine at 
our house in St. Albans, Vermont. Winter hit 
fairly abruptly, and this flower wasn't ready. Looking
forward to more blooms next year. 

After I whined yesterday about forecasts being totally inconsistent for the end of this week and weekend, things seem to be stabilizing, knock on wood. 

Since things are a little more reliable, maybe we can make weekend plans better.

One piece of the forecast that's been solid for days now is for today and tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day. And that hasn't changed a whit with updated forecasts, which is great news. 

If you have travel plans in the region for both days, you're in good shape. 

Some of us did get a dusting of snow early this morning and a few flurries linger, but don't worry about those. They won't amount to anything. 

Skies today and tomorrow might not be totally sunny, but there probably will be a few breaks. The bonus is no precipitation is in the cards. No ice on the roads to worry about.

We finally do get into the precipitation Friday, but for most of us, it will be rain. It wont be a blockbuster at all, either.  

Current forecasts give us a quarter inch or less.  Some places might see some wet snowflakes when the little storm starts Friday, but it probably won't amount to anything. Mountain summits in Vermont might see mostly snow out of this, but anybody below 2,000 feet in elevation or so is looking at mostly rain.

If you haven't installed your outdoor Christmas decorations yet, Saturday is shaping up to be a great day to do it. It'll be sort of mild, with afternoon temperatures getting into the 40s. We'll also see some sun, and the wind won't be particularly strong at all.

The next storm on Sunday is still looking like a rainy one.  At this point, Sunday is looking like a washout, but given how forecasts can change this time of year, (Boy, can they!) we'll attention to updates.
