Wasted Saturday

Friday, January 17th, 8AM

For those that have events scheduled tomorrow, my guess is that there is going to just be enough ice, hype, or road brine to mess up your plans.  I’ll wait until the midday model runs to see if there’s any consensus (presently, there isn’t), but right now I think that there will be a period of snow or sleet between 8 and 10 AM that could bring a dusting/coating to the 95 corridor, then a break, and then steadier precipitation in the form of sleet and freezing rain moves in between 11AM and noon.  That’ll continue into the afternoon with frozen stuff changing to rain from 95 and points east, but lingering as frozen longer the further west and north you are, all coming to an end in the evening.

If the models that are currently showing a much drier system are correct, then I’ll be wrong, but regardless (I almost wrote irregardless just to toy with John Sharbaugh), I think a lot of tomorrow’s scheduled events will be postponed/cancelled.

I’ll update this afternoon.
