No. Sorry, but not quite yet. The yearly sighting of the famed polar vortex is here for a little longer, which is also primarily to blame for the nor’easter a couple weeks ago.
Temperatures across the Tri-Town look to peak midweek at just around freezing temperature and then take a dive again over the weekend. Since the start of the new year, we’ve received nearly 2 feet of snow. This weekend also has a bit of snow predicted, but currently no more than an inch, so just a dusting over the white mountain on the corner of your driveway. No, we are not yet entirely sure how they time these things to happen exclusively on weekends.
Luckly, the National Weather Service forecasts temperatures to breach freezing temperature and climb mightily into the high-30s, subtly diminishing the grandeur of the previously mentioned white mountain. However, and I am sorry for this, The Weather Channel is predicting the warmer weather will bring rain, ice, and snow starting Friday, February 13 and maintaining stormy weather on and off for a number of days after. Though, as we all know by now, forecasts like these are difficult to predict and vary wildly as the day approaches.
Be safe and have fun from us at The Wanderer. If you wish to curse the weather, direct your aim towards that groundhog in Philly. The first day of spring, the vernal equinox, will be on March 20.
