New Snowstorm Rating...
* Interesting read today in the Baltimore Sun about the new snowstorm rating scale. It's called NESIS, short for Northeast Snowfall Impact Scale. Apparently, the storm that struck over the weekend was a Category Three...Baltimore Sun NESIS Article
* I'll be interested to see this scale progess in years to come. I hope that it is more accurate than the Saffir-Simpson scale (used to classify hurricanes). But, that's a topic for another day.
* WEEKEND WINTRY WEATHER? Not around here - at least that's our thinking right now. An Arctic front will stall around Highway 80. Well north of the front, freezing temperatures will move into parts of Tennessee, northern Alabama, northern Mississippi, and Arkansas. The potential exists for a significant episode of freezing rain across these areas. So, if you have travel plans northward this weekend, be sure to check back here periodically.
* It will be cold here, although not cold enough for wintry weather. Highs Saturday will likely stay in the 40's north of the front, with 60's or 70's likely south of the front. So, it's entirely possible that we could see a 30 degree spread in temperatures across our area. We could see a scenario where Philadelphia was 45 and Waynesboro was 65! We'll refine the difficult weekend forecast more through the week.
