Be Prepared For Everything

This will be my only post this evening.  I have to get up early for work tomorrow.   Turned out that the office manager at The JAML Corporate HQ heard about the storm and jumped on the first flight to the Bahamas.   SOB.

As it stands right now we just in the middle of the transition zone.  Just a few miles north they are expecting a hefty snow storm.  Just a few miles to our west and southwest they are expecting a pretty decent icing event.  Just to our south and southeast they are expecting heavy rain finishing up as a brief period of snow. 

And here we are expecting primarily a sleet and snow event.  As it stands right now the forecast is for a period of freezing rain followed by an extended period of sleet and snow (which could be heavy at times tomorrow) and finishing up as all snow tomorrow night. 

A accumulation of snow and sleet of 2-3 inches is expected at this time with a thin layer of ice underneath that.  But given our close proximity to the other zones, do not rule anything out.

With the cold air moving in quicker than expected it is becoming very unlikely that this will remain mostly rain, however.  (At 6pm, Paoli was already at freezing.)  Quite frankly at this time it is more likely that this will be a bust than mostly rain.  And that is still a remote possibility.

Keep an eye and ear on the weather and proceed cautiously if you are traveling tonight and tomorrow.
