Light Snow Possible Friday Night into Saturday Morning

Today a clipper to our north will bring snow flurries and light showers to locations north of Philly. No major issues are expected with today’s system.

Our eyes are turning to overnight Friday into Saturday, as we will see a clipper system bring snow to the area. A general 1-2″ of snow will fall but those around i95 will see 1-3″. The snow is expected to move in around 1am and move out by lunch time. While everyone will likely see some snow with the clipper on Saturday, this is expected to be a minor system. The I-95 corridor could see slightly more than the rest of the region with a 2-3 snow total projection. This will be a light snow event. Just use caution on Saturday morning if you are going out. This is perfect to start the holiday weekend if you are going to the mountains. At some point a Winter Weather Advisory will be issued we believe but as of now that has not happened. If it does we will let you know.

Here is my call as of right now.

Are you shoveling the correct way? This is “Heart Attack” snow!

As the snow is falling, are you prepared to shovel? Did you know that wet heavy snow like we have right now is called “Heart Attack Snow”. Heavy, wet snow is often called “heart attack snow,” because the great effort required to move it can increase your risk of having a heart attack. Repeatedly lifting a shovel full of heavy snow can be more strenuous than running on a treadmill.

7 Ways to Prevent a Heart Attack While Shoveling Snow

  1. Don’t shovel first thing in the morning. Most heart attacks occur first thing in the morning, when your blood is most likely to clot. Give yourself time to get up and moving before going out and grabbing the shovel. You’ll also give the sun a chance to warm up things a bit.
  2. Warm up before shoveling. Shoveling snow is exercise. It’s hard work. Take a few minutes before to stretch, move about and get the ‘blood flowing’ before undertaking any strenuous activity, including shoveling snow.
  3. Use a smaller shovel. A shovel full of wet snow is especially heavy when the shovel is big. It may take a little longer, but many small loads will be better than fewer heavy ones.
  4. Dress appropriately. Cover your hands, head and mouth. Covering your mouth with a scarf will help you inhale warmer air and can help avoid respiratory problems.
  5. Shovel in shifts. If you need a rest, take a rest. Taking 15 minute breaks can help lessen the load on your heart.
  6. Watch for warning signs. Tightness in the chest, lightheadedness and dizziness are all signs of a heart attack. If you suspect you’re having a heart attack, call 911.
  7. Prepare for winter workouts by staying active all year round; 30 minutes a day of regular exercise is good for nearly every aspect of your health. Of course, talk with your doctors about beginning an exercise program.

Winter Storm SNOW Totals

We are seeing snow totals from 3-5″ across most of the area. As we stated in our final call a general 3-5″ with pockets of 4″+.

Snow is still falling in many locations but I am happy to take a break from storm tracking for the weekend. COLD tomorrow and temps will slowly rise over the next week.
