Sunday’s Outlook: Will the Snow Last for Hanukkah?
The more intriguing weather event is predicted for this weekend. AccuWeather forecasts another chance for snow on Sunday morning. What makes this significant is the anticipated temperature drop:
-
Temperatures: The high on Sunday is expected to reach only 33°F, with temperatures plunging into the teens overnight.
-
Hanukkah Begins: Sundown on Sunday marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Sunset in Ridgewood, NJ, will be at an early 4:29 p.m.
-
Potential for Sticking: Since temperatures are expected to hover right around or below freezing throughout the day, any accumulation on Sunday morning may have a better chance of remaining on the ground at sundown, fulfilling the wish for a White Hanukkah.
