The forecast:
N-central Berks - snow starts 2am early Tuesday. Steadiest 7am-12noon. Between 10am-2pm, snow will mix with (and change to) rain. Precipitation ends by 8-10pm at the latest. It's what we in the meteorological industry call a "quick hitter." Accumulation 2-4 inches. School closing numbers: delay 38%, cancellation 30%.
S Berks/Nolanco/Warrington - snow starts between 3-4am. Steadiest 8-10am. Mixing and changing very quickly. Precipitation ends by 7-10pm. Accumulation 1-3 inches. School closing: delay 12%, cancellation 16%.
Central Montco - snow starts 4-5am. Steadiest 7-9am. Mixing and changing to rain very early on in the storm. Accumulation coating to 1.4 inches. Delay 9%, cancellation 4.75%.
Charm City and its environs - snow and rain starting around 6am and continuing through 6pm. The mixing will be nearly instantaneous and will result in little to no accumulation (0-.5 inches). No chance of delay or cancellation.
General thoughts about this (meteorological) winter, which runs from 12/1 to 2/28. Cold. More snow than normal.
As always, keep it real.
