Snow's Coming & the moon's changing colors!

First, cool post about the President's Day Storm of '79...Good job Justin! Well it pales in comparison, but some light snow is headed our way today. A weak clipper system will pass overhead this afternoon/evening providing us with some rain/snow. Northern Delmarva may see up to an 1", maybe a little more, while the rest of us should get less. The system is a quick mover, so the snow should be over by 8pm or so. Then clouds will begin to decrease as a cooler and dryer airmass takes over. But it will be a race against time to see which happens first, the clouds break up or the total eclipse ends.
Tonight from 10pm-10:52 there will be a total eclipse of the moon. The entire process of an eclipse will last from approximately 8:43 - midnight, but the total eclipse only occurs for that hour. Hopefully the clouds will break up because it should be a beautiful sight...an orange/reddish moon!! Try to head out and just look at the moon and see if you can see it! Let me know and take some pics too!! I'll talk more about lunar eclipses tomorrow on the morning show with Weather Matters. Good luck!!
