WOW. I woke up this morning to a very alarming surprise. Snow was already mixing in with rain at my house in Bucks County. Temperatures are in the mid 30s throughout the region; much colder than what was forecast last night. This means that I may have to raise my snow totals for this storm. Most of the NW suburbs have changed over to rain with snow or all snow. Because we are just at the beginning of this storm, expect the snow to continue until late tonight.

The roads will be treacherous tonight. Stay home if possible. This is a major snowstorm we’re dealing with, and our area is not fully prepared for it. Many people will lose power for a time tonight as the snow accumulates on tree branches and power lines. I will update in a few hours on the latest.
