Winter Storm Ψ: Sunday update!
The folks over at The Weather Channel have dubbed this Winter Storm Linus, which has headline writers in the midwest unable to resist such allusive puns as "Linus Blankets Detroit" and "Good Grief!" et al. I love a good play on words, so I consider this a bit of a missed opportunity.
But I shall soldier on with Winter Storm Ψ.
That hair and outfit are twin travesties, but this kid is working it. You go, clarinet-playing mullet sequin kid.For us in Berks, some outlets are backing off their original forecasts, but I think a downgrade is premature at this point. Perhaps some forecasters are gunshy because of last weekend's blown forecast. Perhaps some forecasters should change their draws and cry for they mommies.
I see 4-6 inches for us in Berks and the Lehigh Valley. Light snow has begun (as of 5pm here in Berks) and will intensify overnight. We'll see a little freezing rain and sleet mix in overnight (between 2 and 8am, off and on), then temperatures will plummet. From a noontime high of 35 we'll plunge to near 20 by 6pm and to the single digits by daybreak on Tuesday.
For Philly, Chester and Delaware Counties, south Jersey and Delaware (the actual state), look for accumulations in the range of 1-2 inches and more freezing rain and plain rain than actual snow.
Look at this beauty. (It's the radar.)
So my predictions for school in Berks tomorrow:
Chance of delay, 60.01%
Chance of cancellation, 81.79%
Stay tuned for updates!
