Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for the northern and western suburbs of Philadelphia as well as Berks and the Lehigh Valley.
I think even in the places where mostly snow falls (mixing only briefly with rain in the afternoon), we're going to get 2-3 inches at most. (Estimates of up to six inches of accumulation are overstated, I think.)
Snow begins by 7 or 8am, continues on and off throughout the day, then drops off starting around 7 or 8pm (then ends by midnight). I think the accumulations are mainly on grassy surfaces. The roads will be a bit slippery initially (maybe up to about 10am), but then should just be slushy and/or wet.
Chance of delay Friday, 35.66%
Chance of cancellation Friday, 27.31%
Chance of early dismissal Friday, 11.94%
Wyatt Earp, age 47. He lived a hard life.It's the 167th birthday of Wyatt Earp, whose eclectic employement history includes stints as a pimp, mining speculator, boxing referee, sheriff, bouncer, shepherd, turnip farmer, and inventor of the iPad. Remember the Gunfight at the OK Corral? Back in the early 1880s? That guy. He died 86 years ago.
So then it still gets warmer on Saturday: high 40s to 50, so all the snow melts.
Stay tuned for updates!
