Winter Weather Update 6:45 AM Thursday

It looks like the “3, maybe 4” inch forecast will be about right, with it more likely just making 3 inches in Philadelphia and the immediate surrounding suburbs.  (Remaining QPF values according to the GFS is 0.18 inches water.)

I don’t know why the TV people kept pushing the 4-8 inches last night.  I think they had dug themselves into a “snow event” to raise their ratings as they often do.

Expect cold temperatures today and freezing of what fell. Sun angles are getting higher and melting with sunshine this afternoon is possible despite the cold air temperatures.
