SERIOUSLY??
Yes, my good people, seriously. Snow in October. A Nor'easter, no less.
Here's my call:
Accumulations will generally be 4 to 6 inches of heavy, wet snow throughout Berks County; a bit less south and east of us, and a bit more in higher elevations and areas north and northeast. The greatest impact with this storm will actually be downed tree limbs (since a lot of trees still have their leaves, and are therefore heavier), and the concomitant loss of power.
Precipitation arrives as light rain in the overnight hours (12 midnight - 3am) when temperatures will be in the upper 30s.
Rain begins to mix with snow by 9 or 10am.
The most intense period of snowfall will be between noon and 6. Wind chills will be in the 20s as the storm gets going. Most of the accumulation from this storm will be primarily on trees, cars, grassy areas, and the like; roads will just be wet and slushy. However, when the snow is at its heaviest, it will accumulate even on a warmish ground.
Snow tapers by 7 or 8, then temperatures plummet into the upper 20s overnight.
Sunday's sunny skies and high in the upper 40s (not to mention the mid-autumn sun angle) will melt this all away in no time...
In addition, this is the kind of storm that will likely feature banding and thundersnow. Banding is a heavy area in a storm that can drop several inches (or more!) per hour in one area, and very little in a neighboring area. Thundersnow is, well, what it sounds like - though the thunder is audible in a smaller area than in a traditional thunderstorm because the snow actually serves to suppress the sound.
Happy Halloween!
