42 and some rain to the south. Hoping to see some heavy stuff later tonight!

Pretty there, rolling hills….God’s country

You can actually see the snow starting to lay just a few hundred feet up.

National Park NJ, across the river from PHL 6:30 am Light rain/drizzle 36f

It has begun. Stepped out of Shop Rite at 6AM to a light rain/frozen rain.

I would think by Saturday even with settling, you should have a pack in excess of 3 feet. I might as well as I think I’m at 2 feet in the woods, although I haven’t been out for a few days. this really is a period to be savored and it’s totally cool that your son is into it with you! I’m hoping one of my little ones is a weenie. So far they go out in the snow and have a good time even when it was 2° and snowing a few weeks ago they’re outside walking around having fun.

Drizzle has started in Astoria Queens

Please Go SE with a Messenger Shuffle. If the perfect banding, after ALL these 24-36 model runs and maps goes 25 miles to my NW I Will lose it. Happens in Every Storm. Not This One. Please.

Tropical tidbits 700mb temp advection/frontogenesis as well as the h700 heights/vorticity map. You can see on the GFS the 700mb fronto band continuing to trend east pretty clearly. But again, it's now casting time. It'll soon be time to watching observations and mesoanalysis as to where the bands actually set up.

Didn’t they sample the atmosphere? Am I using the correct terminology? I swear I saw someone mention the Hurricane Hunters were flying into the system to collect data. Who gets that data imported? Do all models use that data, or only some?

Euro still being conservative

Def signs of a rotting deformation band from SNH down thru ORH and CT

33 with some very light rain

What are you referring to? Just woke up and haven’t seen anything bad yet. I do need some coffee though

When I started my walk, it was drizzling., but it quickly started mixing with snow within the first five minutes, and it's been steady snow for about the last thirty minutes of my walk.. The smell of winter is in the air. What compelled me to take a break from my walk and post, was the sound of a distant locomotive air horn echoing throughout the valley. That sound is without a doubt, is my absolute favorite sound of of winter.. It's one of the most lonely an haunting sounds, but also quite majestic and beautiful at the same time. I find the locomotive horn to be a testament to some of the great generations that came before, and times when things just didn't move so damn fast. 30,000mm waterproofing doing its thing.

It definitely varies. Some yards less.

Snow or mix seems most likely

Bluemont winery will look spectacular if that map is accurate

Wow, more than I have here. I have 6-8 in southern areas, maybe 8-12 in shaded areas

6z EC running and continues that trend...

It’s sucks for such a strong low how tiny the precip shield is.

This was how I expected it to eventually go down. The 40" over SNJ seemed too implausible. LI, NYC, CT, up through Mass seemed more doable. I'm jacked! I'm jacked to the tits!

@Newman What map (800, 700mb) would you recommend to see where banding is likely to set up? I use tropical tidbits.

Aigfs brings low from LI over canal. That’s a nice track for the ski resorts. .
