Fine day for warm hearts, love and political laughter Slightly above average temperatures rising into the low 50's under mostly sunny skies will make for a rather pleasant Valentine's Day on Delmarva. All of our snow and ice will certainly melt away today and during tomorrow's rain. Here's is hoping that all of us can appreciate the special love in our lives, share some quality time and even share a laugh at our outrageous group of jesters who come to us courtesy of the current White House occupant.

Sunny and cold for Friday the 13th The first of two consecutive months containing Fridays on the 13th occurs today under sunny skies. It will be cold again with a high near 3 times 13 degrees. A second Friday the 13th will occur again in March, since the first of March falls on a Sunday, and 2026 is not a leap year. Get it? What did we do to deserve this superstitious streak of bad luck?

So, if this is the worst, what is the second, or the third? Needless to say, there are others, and Scott's choice of words reflects that. Do you not wonder what they are and why Scott would choose to ignore them? This observer believes it to be a travesty that out of the 535 elected Senators and Representatives in Washington, that there is only one who has the gumption to threaten the billionaire elite by naming names in the Epstein travesty.

Super Blow Sunday Gusty winds continue to blow on Delmarva today as temperatures remain cold under mostly sunny skies. Look for a high of 23 degrees. Assuming that you, like many, plan on watching the Super Bowl with friends tonight, be forewarned that by the time you head home from the party that temps are expected to be about 17 degrees in Salisbury. The low is expected to dip to about 10 degrees early Monday morning.

Damaging winds and dangerous cold Delmarva is receiving the wrath of Old Man Winter today as Arctic air filters into the area, bringing an early snow squall, dangerously cold wind chills, and potentially damaging winds that may gust to between 40 and 50 mph. The temperature should top out near 27 degrees but, of course, is going to feel much colder to the skin due to the strong winds.

Winter holds on after a briefly warmer couple of days A weak cold front passed through the area overnight. It will initiate the dropping of temperatures again over the next few days, from a high in the mid to upper 30's today, to temps in the upper 20's by the weekend. Cloudy skies today will give way to a mix of sun and clouds both tomorrow and Friday as temps will reach about 35 degrees. We will all notice the cold mid 20's temperature readings on Saturday as they will be enhanced by strong winds.

He better have something good to say after this cold spell Well, just so you know, it does not matter what the Groundhog says, because the calendar tells us that Spring arrives at 10:46 AM on March 20. Do you think we can hang in there for 46 more days? Salisbury is expecting the thermometer to pass the freezing mark for the first time in 7 days today under sunny skies. 34 degrees will seem balmy.

Slip sliding into February It is fitting one would suppose that yesterday was the coldest day of the year in Salisbury. We barely made it to 21 chilly degrees. Do we dare set foot into February? Our post from January 10 indicated that Salisbury was historically entering its coldest period of the year where daytime average temperatures for each of the 18 consecutive days that followed was exactly 45 degrees.

Living on the edge The powerful winter storm that is developing off of the coast is preparing to move slowly up and off the Eastern seaboard during the weekend. It will be dumping heavy snow in areas to our south near the Outer Banks and Virginia Beach. Strong sustained winds will even bring blizzard conditions to some areas near the coast. The big question, as it has been all week, is just how far north does it travel before it moves out to sea?

Extreme cold precedes a weekend close call It is beginning to look, with each passing hour, as though the Salisbury area will miss out on a potentially devastating snow storm just to our south in the Tidewater area of Virginia. Heavy snow and high winds may well produce blizzard conditions to our south this weekend with substantial amounts of snow and drifting as well as far north as Accomac, VA.

Cold air remains in place as weekend storm develops The wake up temp in Salisbury this morning is 10 degrees. The cold air is going nowhere as temperatures will remain in the mid 20's throughout the remainder of the week and into a potentially stormy weekend. It is almost as though Mother Nature will set the thermostat to 26 degrees for the next few days. The cold air mass is preparing to meet up with a southern storm.

Today will be the warmest day this week With early morning wind chills in the single digits and many secondary roads still covered in ice most, if not all, school systems are observing another inclement weather day. There will be sunshine today, but temperatures are only expected to reach 30 degrees or so. Even then, this will be the warmest day of the week as cold Arctic air settles in place.

Do we dare say 6 – 7? Just trying to add a little levity to the situation. Now that the long talked about snow storm is just 6 to 7 hours away, it seems like a good time to nail down some specifics. Snow should develop in Salisbury before 2 AM. Snow is expected to fall throughout the night at a rather moderate rate, with occasional periods of heavy snowfall that could approach an inch per hour at times.

Treacherous scenario is playing out for Sunday For the past week social media has been buzzing with news of a big snowstorm on Delmarva. Now that we are about 60 hours out we are observing changes in the forecast models that are trending towards less snow and more ice. That is a potentially dangerous scenario. A few days back it appeared as though Delmarva was in the path of a large snowstorm.

Are we in the cross hairs? Yes, we are! We are now a bit more than 72 hours out from the arrival of a potentially crippling snow storm on Delmarva. Model runs over the past few days have rarely wavered over the probability that snowfall accumulations in "double digits" are not just probable, but likely on parts of the Shore. The graphic above indicates that our area has a near 90% chance of picking up 3 or more inches of snow.

Chill in the air and a potentially chilling forecast Single digit wind chills this morning will be an indication that Delmarva is in for an uncomfortably cold Tuesday. High temperatures will struggle to reach 32 degrees today before tumbling again into the teens tonight. Wednesday will rebound toward more seasonable readings as our sunny skies will come with temps near 44 degrees. A brief warm up into the mid 50's is in store for Thursday under partly cloudy skies.

Sunny skies return for MLK Day It is fair to assume that if Martin Luther King were alive today that he would be voicing his concerns regarding civic rights violations allegedly taking place in Minneapolis. One might wonder if he would accuse ICE agents of judging people on the color of their skin rather than the content of their character. Today, about 60 years after President Lyndon Johnson espoused King's teachings when signing historic civil rights legislation, the current US president seems to base all of his spontaneous actions on his inherent bigotry and self perceived privilege.
