Snowpack definitely took a decent hit over the past couple of days, thankfully it wasn’t a heavy wet snow. The piles will probably persist for a while though. 34 here.

I just mean helping provide more fresh cold air. Definitely not on the suppress route.

I’m down here in Danville off 86/29 and let me tell you, despite brining and sanding heavily while plowing we still have lots of ice covered residentials. Growing up in NJ, the plan here seems like brine and let it melt. .

its been like that most of the winter except in early January - models allow the warming to reach us in the longer range then when we get closer and closer to it they reduce its impact here

It’s still a dicey period. I think the focus is more now through 2/15. After 2-15 it may get ugly as hinted before perhaps we reshuffle.

A lot of chatter about a blockbuster crippling storm next week.

I just watched one degree outsides video for this weekend. She is calling for almost an inch of rain Saturday. Am I imagining things or is that completely wrong??

We should have known. It can only snow on the weekend

Wish I could get out there this weekend, but busy at home. URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 1126 AM EST Wed Feb 4 2026 ...NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS POSSIBLE LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY... .A strong Arctic front will deliver heavy upslope snow showers and squalls, strong winds, and dangerously cold wind chills to the Alleghenies late Friday into the Saturday. MDZ509-510-WVZ501-505-050030- /O.NEW.KLWX.WS.A.0002.260206T1500Z-260207T1200Z/ Western Garrett-Eastern Garrett-Western Grant-Western Pendleton- 1126 AM EST Wed Feb 4 2026 ...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING... * WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations around 6 inches possible with locally higher totals along western favored ridges (such as Backbone Mountain, Piney Mountain, Keysers Ridge, and North Fork Mountains). Winds could gust as high as 60 mph. * WHERE...In Maryland, Eastern Garrett and Western Garrett Counties. In West Virginia, Western Grant and Western Pendleton Counties. * WHEN...From Friday morning through Saturday morning. The heaviest snow is expected Friday afternoon through Friday night. * IMPACTS...Whiteout conditions are possible and may make travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening on I-68/US-40 west of Frostburg, MD, US-219 from the PA/MD Line south to WV Line, US-48 west of Moorefield, WV, and US-33/WV-28 west of Franklin, WV. The strong winds may down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Expect roads to become impassable especially those in open areas due to blowing and drifting snow Friday night through Saturday. Wind chills will fall into the single digits to below zero Friday night with values as low as 20 to 30 below zero late Saturday afternoon. Frostbite and hypothermia can occur in these conditions in less than 30 minutes. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a hat will keep you from losing your body heat. Persons should delay all travel if possible. If travel is absolutely necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden changes in visibility. Make sure your car is winterized and in good working order. &&

I am driving from NY to Charlotte tomorrow early AM ( leaving like 5am ) and I have done the trip many times but never when the threat of snow was looming can any of you guys or gals tell me IF I am in for trouble when I get to those mountains in NC or Virginia ( taking 81 to 77) do they salt those Roads well during minor events such as these ----also I am hoping that IF any snow does fall that it is over by the time I get to that neck of the woods ? Thanks in advance

i think with this new pattern that we will be in for PD3, suppression right now is a good thing. I dont think the features that have been in place for suppression now will still be there

Better ask the bosses.........

Frankly, the WPO isn't that important in March due to wave lengths shortening, so can't even be sure that would have the same stifling impact that it did earlier in the season.

Recently tallied up my seasonal snowfall, and I'm sitting at 67" to date. Last season, I had 68" all winter. Friday's system looks like a nice refresher of the snowpack. It's more of a lobe of the polar vortex than a regular clipper...there will be synoptic snow in the warm advection ahead of the system Friday morning and afternoon, which looks like a quick 1-3". The more dynamic portion will be Friday evening/night, when an Arctic front pushes through. That should bring a nice burst of lake-enhanced snow (looking at satellite, the ice is still somewhat lose and has cracks, so there should be a limited flux from the lake), along with rapidly falling temperatures and strong wind gusts. It'll only last a few hours, but conditions will be quite harsh along and just behind the front Friday evening. Some limited lake effect lingers Friday night into early Saturday. The snow Friday evening through early Saturday probably adds a variable accumulation of 1-4" to most of the area downwind of Lake Erie, pushing event totals into a 3-6" type range.

AIFS is suppressed for PD3 but a pretty nice look overall

Do you want to measure the amount of snow that fell or just compacted snow. 24 hrs with say a 8 hrs snow event. I measure 6 and then 2. The next day after either melting or drying out your measure could for arguments sake be 5 inches. That's what often happened in the record book. So how much snow actually fell . I say 8

CMC was about to spark us up. I mean, it's good to see models latching on to possibilities other than torching.

This is all we’ve been trying to say…when we got scolded by the angry resident MET, saying we were calling for some 14-15 redo, and among other things. But it’s all good. Liking the evolving look.

Not necessarily fooled AFAIC, but to me, that is close enough at several months lead.

Should be some really pretty wet/sticky stuff on top of that. Then NWFS on Friday night. If the snow lingers past midnight there's a chance we could have frozen precip every single day this week except this coming Sunday.

Did you check Tractor Supply they might have what you looking for.

Not sure. Temperature wasn't expected to go too much higher...

UKie has this for midweek

You guys need to remember that the GFS led the way with the last storm. All other models caved to it.
