Philadelphia picked up 2.1 inches of snow. There was still plenty of green on the trees, but snow fell quite hard for a time making it look more like January. That was just this past February 18th and 19th as we picked up three and a half inches of snow. Snow began early, making travel difficult, and salt trucks worked hard to stay on top of things. Sometimes people turn to folklore to help them predict the weather.
Most weather systems travel from west to east.
So in the morning, when the sun shines through air at a low angle, if the eastern sky appears red that means moist air could be just to the west. It's just the opposite for a red sky in the evening. When we see a beautiful sunset that lasts long after the sun has already set, that indicates that the sun is most likely setting through dry air and that moist air is pulling away. Well, you can't completely disregard folklore, but your best bet is the Accuweather five-day forecast. The rainfall varied across the Delaware Valley.
