Forecast: Today is a lovely day for outdoor activities with sunshine and a high of 31. Monday is expected to be sunny with a high of 42. The long range forecast has uncertainty in it based on the tracks of weather systems, but at least snow is appearing in print frequently: a slight chance of snow showers Monday night and Tuesday; a chance of light snow Wednesday night into Thursday; a chance of snow showers or perhaps accumulating snow Friday into Saturday.

From Accuweather's Henry Margusity Friday, 2/3: "The longer range looks stormy with normal cold to me. I like the fact that the GFS is now showing at least three storms with next weekend being the start of the fun. With the high over Ontario, some storm is going to come up out of the Gulf of Mexico and try to phase along the East coast. Cold air will be plentiful for what could be a large area of snow in the East. The NAO is trying to go negative and if we can get the blocking, that will just ice the cake in regards to the end run of winter and snowstorms for the snow lovers. I will say, when you see the cold and snow in Europe and Japan, it's usually just a matter of time before the eastern U.S. gets crushed. Come on, Big Daddy(s)! I just think it's a wild 4-6 weeks of weather as we close out winter."

Lunch and snack service is available daily at our Tuulen Tupa Grill with plenty of options prepared by Chef Mike, including warming homemade soups, hearty homemade chili, daily quiche specials, Finnish specialties, sandwiches, Angus beef burgers, quesadillas, a variety of hot and cold beverages along with beer, wine and glogg (hot mulled wine).
