now that you've dug out from yesterday's snow...are you ready

[radfringe]

for the nor'easter?

alert for my area:

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STATE COLLEGE HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM EST SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING.

SNOW WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE SOUTH DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS SATURDAY...AND COULD ACCUMULATE SEVERAL INCHES BY LATE SATURDAY EVENING.

A LAYER OF SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING AIR LOCATED BETWEEN 7 AND 10 THOUSAND FEET ABOVE GROUND WILL BE PUSHED NORTH ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY REGION...BEGINNING AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO A TRANSITION TO SLEET...AND POSSIBLY SOME AREAS OF FREEZING RAIN ACROSS THE SOUTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.

THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY AMOUNTS OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN LASTING 6 TO 10 HOURS. THIS WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY CUT DOWN ON THE STORM TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS IN PLACES SUCH AS ALTOONA...STATE COLLEGE...WILLIAMSPORT AND LOCATIONS FURTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST.

THIS WILL BE IN STARK CONTRAST TO THE NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS OF THE STATE THAT COULD SEE IN EXCESS OF 1 FOOT OF SNOW BY SUNDAY NIGHT SHOULD THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK OF THE STORM HOLD...KEEPING PRACTICALLY ALL OF THE PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF SNOW IN THAT AREA.

ANOTHER FEW TO SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN MOUNTAINS...AS COLDER AIR SWEEPS IN TO THE REGION FROM THE WEST.
