50% Chance Of French Toast Weather

So, it’s officially started.

Sure, it’s a couple of weeks earlier than any winter weather enthusiast would have wished for, but the official hype of “Winter 2007-2008” is already in snowplow, sanding, de-icing, de-slushing mode and for some of us who follow the weather with a passion that borders on obsession, it’s really the most wonderful time of the year.

But, really, it’s way, way too early to get excited about anything. We’re about four to five days out from what may (or may not!) be “The Storm Of The Century”, and to be entirely honest about it, even your local network weather person doesn’t know enough yet even though they may be talking or hyping (there’s that word again) a weekend storm here on the East Coast.

Now, if you’d like to keep track of the storm models, check this site out, and if you’d like to learn how to read and interpret the models, check out my friend John's site, and then post on Eastern.

Just mind the pinned rules and never, ever ask “How Much For Philly?” unless you really enjoy having your ego bashed into cinders. That's one tough crowd.

One word of caution, however…once you learn how to read the models (which I’m still learning how to do, so please don’t ask me), you will get hooked. Trust me on this; this hobby is more addictive than crack, and the next thing you know, you’ll be up at two in the morning, disturbing your partner’s REM sleep just to see if there’s any snow in your backyard.

Oh, wait a minute. I already do that.

So, for now, there’s no reason to go out and stock up on the bread, milk and eggs.

But, I’ve got to go…I’ve missed a few model runs, and I’m just dying to know if there will be an ice situation for the I-95 corridor…
