In two weeks it will be go time. It will be bib pick-up. It will be last minute waxing changes. It will be time to get things done.

For now, weather speculation! Here’s what we’ve seen in the past few model runs:

• Cold through next Tuesday. Not -20 for highs, but highs below 10, and lows well below zero. Snow ain’t going anywhere in the next few days.
• Next Wednesday it warms up as a system moves through. Right now it looks rather dry; a couple inches of snow and temperatures up in to the 20s. That’s right, 20s!
• Cold for Presidents Day weekend. Not brutal.
• Then we’re in silly season, but here’s the gist of the week after: it might go above freezing. Maybe a little rain or sleet. You know, to speed up the course. Then maybe some snow, and seasonable and dry for the race.
