To the chagrin of the region’s snow-lovers, that weekend storm is looking wetter and wetter.
This morning, the computer models evidently are coming into agreement that the storm will take a path that will draw in warm air.
Any snow or sleet in Philadelphia, the National Weather Service says, is going to quickly turn into a cold, cruel rain.
Ken Reeves, the head of forecast operations at Accu-Weather, predicted that by Sunday morning the snow will have disappeared without a trace.
Also, the models have backed off the cold foreseen for early next week. The forecast now calls for highs closer to 40 than 30.

Darn. I should know better than to get my hopes up but I still do anyway.

Storm came from OK. We get bad snow when the storms come from Eastern TN. You would think the weather puppets knew that by now.
yes hype for ratings

...and we wonder why people get frustrated when the possibility of snow is brought up, yet the only wintry precip falls north and west of the city.
Personally, I think that talking about the possibility of a storm is not a bad thing. It needs to be communicated lest you get caught off guard. However, the problem is that too often what appears to be a sure thing turns out to not to be.

It figures that every where else in the country is getting snow but us. There was snow on the ground last week in central NJ, making it feel so Christmas-eee! The snow situation here is such a drag, every year I think that this will be the year for snow, and it never is....seems like our big snow days are over...gettin pretty temperate around here.....kinda scary. i don't want to believe that global warming has something to do with our brown, rain-laden Christmas's, but i think it just might. Another brown Christmas....yea!!!!!!
