Keep telling yourself this: Better than snow, at least for now

I have three words for you today: Better than snow.

At least for now. Tonight might be another story.

Better yet, you might just want to pull the covers up over your head and stay in bed.

It's going to be a miserable day on the weather front.

We are going to be feeling the effects of one of those monster Nor'easter storms called a "Bomb Cyclone." Nothing like a little hype to go with your morning forecast.

What it means for us, for the most part is going to be a very wet, raw, windy day.

We are going to get rain on and off pretty much all day.

The big problem is going to be the wind, gusting at times up to 50-60 mph. With the ground as wet as it is, trees likely will be uprooted. Power outages could be an issue.

That's during the day.

The question for tonight will be how much snow arrives in the changeover with this storm. Temperatures are expected to dip during the day. Snow is expected to arrive late this afternoon and tonight. For the immediate area in Philly and the suburbs, this is not going to be a big storm. It likely will coat grassy surfaces, but the roads are expected to remain wet.

That will change the farther north you go, with the Poconos expected to get maybe up to a foot of heavy, wet snow.
