A cold front makes this week a bit less steamy than last.

One of the biggest weekends at Penn is in just a matter of days. But, it could either be made or broken by what happens a few thousand feet above our heads.

Despite recent warm weather, DP weather writer Elyas Tecle reminds us that it is technically still winter and Mother Nature may be prepared to prove that to us come later this weekend.

Saturday night, Philadelphia officially dropped down to 8 degrees, just 6 degrees shy of the record: 2 degrees Fahrenheit. 

The National Weather Service expects 4-8" of snow by Wednesday morning.

Winter is certainly in full swing on the calendar, but it doesn’t exactly feel that way when you talk a walk down Locust.

When I wake up and go to class each morning, I’ve noticed two big things missing from around campus.

Winter is a forecaster’s dream whether or not you dread or embrace the snow. The long, complex analysis required to understand the dynamics of winter climate is part of the fulfillment that comes with being a meteorologist.

There are times when facts can be put aside and meteorologists turn to legend to make their predictions.

Hurricane Sandy was by far one of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the Eastern Seaboard in recorded history. With its 3-year anniversary having past on Thursday, it’s only appropriate to look back and understand how significant this event was. 

Snowflakes may not hit campus until Thanksgiving or later, but that doesn't mean it'll be an easy winter.

Whether it’s a hurricane, tropical storm or nor’easter, a significant storm will affect much of the East Coast in the next couple of days.

Classes for Monday and Tuesday have been cancelled due to the predicted severity of Hurricane Sandy, Penn announced in a campus-wide email Sunday.
