Wintry weather: Monday 3/18 and Tuesday 3/19
Top o' the ... evenin' to ya...
Light snow and flurries possible Monday morning, falling steadier toward late morning. We may see some mixing with sleet in the late afternoon and evening, but I see this as mainly snow - kind of like Saturday's action. Expect 2-3 inches of accumulation, but mainly on grassy surfaces. As we saw on Saturday, though, any amount of snowfall can cause slippery conditions. (Hell, people around here forget how to drive when it rains.)
Former Sixer Charles Barkley, one of my favorite players of all time. Barkley, a notorious Chapstick addict, revealed this week that in his playing days, in order to keep his lips fully moisturized and prevent them from chapping, he filled his belly button with Vaseline so he could apply it regularly during games. I'm not really sure how I feel about this--my first reaction is, gross--but I just wanted to share.Temperatures holding steady in the mid 30s. Precipitation changes to rain (and even freezing rain in higher elevations) overnight before ending Tuesday, mid-morning.
Driving hazards are possible anytime during this event, but the most serious threat seems to be Monday evening.
(Side note: The Weather Channel is calling this Winter Storm Ukko. Seriously? Just stop.)
