« Hell freezes over: Snow in Baghdad | Main | Snow showers, no sweat »

Rain here, snow there

So we get less than a tenth of an inch of rain out of this "storm," but a slice of the western Allegany County may get up to a foot of snow ? How is that fair? New England is finally getting some wintry weather, too.

WISP webcamNo matter. The heavy snow warnings are up in the mountains to our west. Really! Look, I won't even make you click to see it:

"SNOW SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS MORNING ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF THE ALLEGHENY FRONT...AND THE WESTERN RIDGES OF
HIGHLAND AND PENDLETON COUNTIES. SNOW INTENSITY AND COVERAGE WILL
INCREASE AND PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY AS A
SECOND DISTURBANCE APPROACHES THE AREA. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
OF 5 TO 10 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BY TUESDAY EVENING ACROSS THE
WARNING AREA...WITH UP TO A FOOT OF SNOW POSSIBLE IN FAVORED
LOCATIONS."

Here's a webcam view from WISP, taken this morning. And here's our forecast - seasonable temperatures and no precipitation until Thursday. The weekend looks cold, though, with highs stuck in the 20s. Then all we'll need is a coastal storm, and we could get actual winter weather.
