The forecast:

N-central Berks - snow starts 2am early Tuesday.  Steadiest 7am-12noon.  Between 10am-2pm, snow will mix with (and change to) rain.  Precipitation ends by 8-10pm at the latest.  It's what we in the meteorological industry call a "quick hitter."  Accumulation 2-4 inches.  School closing numbers: delay 38%, cancellation 30%.

S Berks/Nolanco/Warrington - snow starts between 3-4am.  Steadiest 8-10am.  Mixing and changing very quickly.  Precipitation ends by 7-10pm.  Accumulation 1-3 inches.  School closing: delay 12%, cancellation 16%.

Central Montco - snow starts 4-5am.  Steadiest 7-9am.  Mixing and changing to rain very early on in the storm.  Accumulation coating to 1.4 inches.  Delay 9%, cancellation 4.75%.

Charm City and its environs - snow and rain starting around 6am and continuing through 6pm.  The mixing will be nearly instantaneous and will result in little to no accumulation (0-.5 inches).  No chance of delay or cancellation.

General thoughts about this (meteorological) winter, which runs from 12/1 to 2/28.  Cold.  More snow than normal.

As always, keep it real.

P.S. As much as I hate Tom Brady, I think the Bucs are going to win the game. Prediction: 24-13.

Hi all,

In NW Baltimore, we have 3.5 inches and it's still snowing big-ass flakes.  Forecast was for an inch or two of intermittent precipitation with lots of mixing.  Haven't seen any mixing yet.

Could you post your current totals with location, time, road condition observations, pictures, and any other observations?  (Best way to do this is by replying to my FB post or posting a comment at the end of this post.)

Be safe out there if you must drive.

Monsoon

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

-- Emily Dickinson
