Monsoon's Forecast and Weekend Storm Update
Light snow showers and flurries early this morning have given us a nice coating on the roads – I have been hearing reports of slipping and skidding, particularly on back roads. Definitely a little more than I anticipated, and we can expect intermittent light snow throughout the morning. Look for the wind to kick up—and may be even a few peeks of sunshine—later this afternoon. Very cold tonight with an overnight low in the mid teens.
As for this weekend’s snow event: we will get nothing. The damned thing is going south, so Pennsylvania and New Jersey will see no snow at all (so Nicole, that child’s first birthday party is on like Donkey Kong!). The Virginias could still see six to eight inches. But again: we’re in the clear, so your weekend plans are safe.
And really, as Melissa pointed out, isn’t weekend snow just a cruel, cruel mockery for a teacher?
Friday will be partly cloudy, windy and markedly colder, with a high only in the mid 20s and a low in the low teens.
Saturday is looking clear and even colder, with a high of 23 and a low of 10 (single-digit lows will appear in isolated areas).
Sunday will still be cold, but not as cold, with the high reaching a balmy 31. We’ll inch above freezing on Monday, and we’ll see highs in the upper 30s throughout the first week of February.
Next winter weather that could impact us: I see nothing on the horizon. Nothing! Does this mean “winter” is over? Not a chance.
