Discussion

First the good news...the sun is out, there were very few power outages with the major coastal storm, and 50 degrees is possible late next week. Now the bad news...there is more accumulating snow and bitter cold before we get there. One storm is over, but another one will intensify along the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Saturday and it could generate another 2-4 inches of snow for the region from very late tonight into the early afternoon hours on Saturday. Another round of snow and/or sleet is possible Monday night before milder air moves in on Tuesday. Finally, as far as this amazing winter is concerned in Philadelphia, this is the first time in 130 years of record-keeping that the city has had four 6+ inch snowfalls or more in one season, and it is now the 5th snowiest winter of all-time.
