Icy, and Dicey -- Update

It continues to look almost certain that some ice and snow will fall in the region tomorrow.

And as usual, the questions you really care about – how much, and when will it start – have not yet been answered.

The latest thinking is that snow and/or ice could show up in time for the morning commute, with temperatures hovering around freezing.

Eventually, the precipitation is expected to be primarily rain from Philadelphia south and east, with a mix in varying concentrations on north and west.

The National Weather Service sees a potential for 1-2 inches in the city, with perhaps a few inches more in the northern and western suburbs before it all ends tomorrow night.

The weather-service has a winter-storm warning posted for Berks County with a forecast of 4 to 8 inches.

Looking ahead to the weekend, it is looking more likely that a major winter storm will affect the region Saturday into Sunday.

Here is the weather service discussion covering both storms.

Naturally, the Eastern weather chat board is abuzz with the possibilities.

Tim:

Tony, I like your blog because it spares me the over-hyped drama that the local tv newscasts seem to create when even the hint of snow is in the forecast. Thanks.

Tony does have a good blog. It's one of my daily and much-appreciated reads!
