Major October Snowstorm Targets Northeast

by Chris Dolce and Jon Erdman, Meteorologists

Play Video How Much Snow?

Low pressure will intensify just off the East Coast on Saturday producing significant snow across the Northeast. Below is our forecast accumulation map showing the heaviest amounts west and northwest of the I-95 corridor. In the pink shadings we could see 6 to 12 inches of heavy, wet snow. This includes cities such as Allentown, Pa., Poughkeepsie, N.Y. and Worcester, Mass. While the heaviest amounts are most likely to fall northwest of I-95, some accumulations are also possible closer to the coast along the heavily-populated I-95 corridor from near Washington, D.C. to Boston. Precipitation will start as rain in these locations, but may change over to snow. How quickly this occurs and how much snow falls is dependent on the availability of enough cold air, which is difficult to forecast early in the season.

Northeast snow forecast next 48 hours Not Just Snow...But Wind!

Early season snowstorms are notorious for downed trees and power outages. Why?

First, warmer temperatures both at the surface and aloft lead to wet snow, which weighs more than dry snow. Wet snowflakes can also stick together into large aggregates.

Then, you have trees still with leaves! According to the map below, fall foliage is now reaching peak from the central Appalachians into the Delaware Valley and southern New England, precisely those areas forecast to receive wet, heavy snow Saturday. Put simply, trees with leaves have a greater surface area to catch heavy, wet snow, increasing the load on branches.

We saw this earlier this week both in the Front Range of the Rockies, and also Thursday and Thursday night in parts of Upstate New York and interior New England.

If that wasn't enough, as with any intensifying low off the Eastern Seaboard, winds will be an issue, particularly Saturday night.

While the strongest winds will confine themselves from the Delmarva Peninsula to coastal New England, it will still be windy over areas also seeing accumulating heavy, wet snow.  

Saturday night's strongest winds

Add the force of wind to the weight of heavy, wet snow on trees still with leaves, not to mention power lines, and you'll likely see numerous downed trees and power outages, particularly in the areas with heaviest snow accumulation! These power outages could linger into Sunday, or perhaps longer!

Areas of greatest power outage potential shaded in red.

Make plans now for a potential power outage. Make sure cell phones and other battery-powered devices are charged!

"Vanessa Irvin Morris persuasively overturns common prejudices against Street Literature, situating the genre convincingly in a long literary history of narratives located in low-income city neighborhoods. Her broadened conceptualization of the genre provides educators with indispensable tools for linking Street Literature with works of other literary periods and genres, non-fiction formats and even audiovisual media. Librarians and teachers will gain in-depth knowledge about readers’ agency, tastes and complex reading practices – all essential prerequisites for engaging seriously with Street Literature and its readers."-- Kristina Graaff, Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany

We spend a lot of time complaining in regards to the music out now. "Oh, how it used to be so good back then." Its very important that we continue to search out and pay attention to new talent and good projects. With all of that being said, take some time to check out and pass on this mini movie/video featuring Dave Patten!

Lbs. Family- A day in the park

Lbs. Fam is basically a group of people that frequently attend Philadelphia nightlife events that feature the combo of DJ Brendan Bring'em & MC Elixir.  However; this time the goal was to bring that night life fun into the light by having a cookout and enjoying a game of kickball. We've had so many memorable nights in the club but this outing ranks right up there with any one of them.

Bldg 24 with the Legend DJ Jay Ski

DJ Jay Ski is one of the founding members of Philadelphia based turntablist crew, Skratch Makaniks. He is also a 20 year veteran of radio and music producer. After releasing a decades of mixtapes, many of us look to and expect for Ski to primarily provide us with classic underground Hip Hop. All of this made it way more surprising to learn that he was taking on a gig at Building 24 in Reading, PA where the music focus is Top 40, Dance and Electro. It's not like any of us can doubt Ski's skills behind the 1 & 2's but I for one was excited to see him step out of that imaginary box.  

I really don't what else to tell you aside from the fact that DJ Jay Ski did just what I expected... Video and pictures.
