Icy, and Dicey

As expected, the details remain elusive, but it’s now all but certain that a significant winter mess is coming to a neighborhood near you tomorrow.

The timing remains uncertain, however the best guess is that whatever shows up will hold off until just after the morning commute.

Areas to the north and west of Philadelphia could see some accumulating snow, and the National Weather Service says there a 10 percent chance that 2 inches could land at Philadelphia International Airport.

The forecast right now calls for mostly rain south and east of the city, with at least some ice and snow on the menu to the north and west. Winter storm watches are posted as nearby as Lancaster County.

The model-output suggests that about a half-inch of precipitation will fall, or the water equivalent of 5 or 6 inches of snow.

Here is the latest weather service discussion.
