The Calm Before the Storm

Good morning. Its now 5:23am and the snow is falling here in Cumberland County. I will head out to work and see what happens. As the map shows Cumberland County will get less snow and the northern Philly suburbs will get the big hit. Here is the Philly news: "The storm is forecast to become a potent and peculiar nor'easter that will become a "bomb" off the Jersey coast. It will take a bizarre path, paralleling the coast and then jogging inland near New York City and remaining stationary.
"I haven't seen anything like it," said Greg Heavener, a meteorologist at the weather service's Mount Holly office.
When the storm peaks later tomorrow and tomorrow night, it is expected to hammer the region with long-lasting and powerful winds, with gusts up to 50 m.p.h. not out of the question, said Henry Margusity, a meteorologist with Accu-Weather Inc.


Well, here is 48th and Cedar yesterday Feb 24th where I walk a dog this week. Just as the snow is disappearing, more snow is falling as I type. Its now 5:13am. The photo is outside my bedroom when I got up. Up to a foot is supposed to fall. Here is what the paper says.

Cumberland County could see up to a foot of snow, according to the National Weather Service.
Snow was expected to start falling early today and continue through noon Friday, with the heaviest accumulation happening Thursday night into Friday morning.
Strong winds, with gusts up to 30 mph, could cause blowing and drifting snow.
The weather service is also warning that the storm is likely to produce heavy, wet snow that could hang on power lines.The Weather Service issued winter storm warnings Wednesday afternoon for all 21 counties in New Jersey.
Forecasters say up to 18 inches could fall in northern areas, while 12 to 16 inches was expected in central and most southern areas and 4 to 8 inches in extreme southern Jersey. Winds gusting up to 30 mph were also forecast.
The precipitation was expected to start as rain or wet snow late Wednesday night, then change over to all snow during the overnight hours. The heaviest snow was expected to fall this afternoon and evening, then taper off by Friday morning.

Well, got to go now...Have a safe day.
