The odds are the next storm won't be a doozy.
What it will be is still unclear, however.
Expect the next few days to be most sunny with highs in the low 40s and lows in the upper 20s, but then a storm system from the Midwest should head our way.
It should reach the Philadelphia area Monday afternoon, bringing rain, snow sleet, freezing rain or a combination, according to meteorologist Dean Iovino of the National Weather Service in Mount Holly.
"It's fairly likely we'll see some type of precipitation," he said. "It's just a matter of honing in on which types will fall, and how prevalent they'll be with this event."
The system won't carry as much moisture as the three major storms that each dumped more than 15 inches of snow on Philadelphia this season.
If everything fell as rain, we'd get about a half-inch over about 12 hours, Iovino said. Those other storms had the equivalent of 1.5 to 2 inches or more of water, and lasted longer.
As of this morning, periods of rain, snow and sleet - or a mixture - seemed likeliest for Philadelphia, with higher chances for snow to the west and north, for rain to the south and east.
The system, for example, could start out as rain if it arrives Monday afternoon and temperatures are in the upper 30s or low 40s, he said. After dark, the precip could shift to snow and sleet, with frozen stuff possibly still falling during the morning commute on Tuesday.
If the storm lingers, or starts later, the finish might be more rain.
Freezing rain is always a scary prospect, because it can make roads treacherous and help snap limbs and power lines. But that doesn't seem likely, and hasn't happened much this winter.
"The potential is there, but it seems more like it might be a rain, snow, sleet thing giong on," Iovino said.
Winds shouldn't be a threat either. "It's going to get breezy, but it doesn't look like anything extraordinary," he said. They could pick after the storm, on Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Like the mild storm earlier this week, this one could remain tough to predict even Tuesday morning, he said.
Looking further ahead, temperatures are predicted to stay in the recent pattern into early March, with highs around 40 and subfreezing lows.
That would mean the snowpack would keep melting slowly and safely, he said.
