Philly Love #62: Wintry Mix™
I’m not quite sure when our area stopped getting snow and started getting Wintry Mix™, but ever since the forecasters started using the term pretty much exclusively, that seems to be pretty much all we get. And so, after a January where we were in the 70s and a winter where we didn’t have a snowstorm — er, a Wintry Mix™ storm — until two weeks ago, we now have two of ‘em this month. Yesterday’s and today’s weather wasn’t nearly as bad as the Valentine’s Day massacre, as overnight temperatures weren’t all that cold and kept the Wintry Mix™ from freezing the roads, closing interstates, et cetera. So huzzah to you, Wintry Mix™. I don’t know when you replaced snow as the winter storm this area gets, but, hey, I’ll take what I can get. Winter, Round Two [Inquirer] |

When I was still in school, I loved the wintry mix. The odds of things closing due to the mix are much greater than the odds of things closing for plain old snow.
