West Gets White

Want to get a quick post in.  It looked like most of the snow stayed south of the Lehigh Valley last night.  Philadelphia picked up six inches.  Here where I am saw maybe two.  One thing is for sure.  Light powdery snow and slightly wet roads has turned cars the whitest I've seen this year.  That will all change soon enough.

Winter keeps chugging along as Winter Storm Warnings are posted for Seattle and Portland for 3-5 inches of snow.  It's is not unusual for those towns to get snow in winter but a couple of inches does to them the same as southern cities. 

The next system for us comes into play Thursday night and Friday.  I've heard a lot of different forecasts.  None really calling for snow, but at least a few that have a whole mess of the mixed bag.  I personally don't think it is very likely that wintry weather dominates.  There will be enough warm air in place to keep things wet.  A brief start or end of a mix or snow is possible though.  Either way it will be something to watch as somebody will end up with a decent snowfall.

Really haven't learned much about the changes at Accuweather.  I have the pro up and running now for the latest models, but again, this is a one and done thing.  I'm never going to pay for weather information.  I finally saw this afternoon different outlets picking up the Bastardi story.  The Washington Post was actually the first one.  I've heard lots of rumors as to where he might be headed, but whatever happens, changes will be taking place. 

There will be lots to talk about as we head closer to spring.  As we stay in winter, the south gets warmer.  Unstable air produces bad results.  In a matter of speaking, we are approaching tornado season.
