Stopped for a bit now moderate snow with big flakes, about an inch and a half here with everything covered. Nice surprise
-
Definitely more than I was expecting, it's really slick out there on the roads. Will try to send pics later
-
Are we in April already? Wish somebody told me.
-
Crazy how people can dismiss an entire mid winter month like 10 days before it even starts. There's been plenty of times when long range forecasts didn't pan out and now the next month and a half is done for snow? Just silly
-
No chance, it's moving too quickly. 2-4 is a safe bet, looks really nice outside regardless.
-
Heaviest snow of the day here. Finally getting that snow globe look
-
Snowing hard in Philly, I suppose this is a good sign for us.
-
Some bigger flakes finally but it's nothing but wet out here so far
-
Looks like barely anything in Philly, don't think that bodes well for us but we'll see.
-
Very light, very wet snow here. I know it's going to wet blub eventually but I wonder if some of the projected totals near the city and out east might be a little too high due to losing some accumulations because of warm temps at the onset. I think the lower end of the 3-6 inch forecast is realistic.

The rgem was way more wrong than the other models. It was still holding on to an inland runner just yesterday, the only model showing anything close to that solution. The Canadians took a major L on this one.
-
As a diehard Lions fan I sadly remember that game all too well but that's in the distant past, time to beat those Commandos tonight.
-
And with perhaps some more snow opportunities in the next week or two. Kind of like a mini '13-'14 stretch, one of my favorite all time winters.
-
I lean way towards the euro/ukie combo than the Canadian combo but a blend of them is usually the way to go when there's such a split. It does seem like the cmc is an outlier but I don't think it can be discounted entirely either.
-
Why does it have to be one model wrong or the other? More than likely the actual solution will fall somewhere in the middle.
-
The Rgem still being amped is concerning, getting into the range where it's becoming more reliable and I still can't get out of my head that Forky was leaning towards the rain solution.
-
I'm not saying it's likely but I wouldn't discount it either. We've seen scenarios where last minute shifts from a consensus move to a model that wasn't consensus, it's rare but it's happened before. With that said, a blend of the models is a reasonable forecast which puts us in a decent spot.
-
I would not discount the RGEM teamed with Forky thinking rain.
-
Light snow that's really sticking whatever little is falling, had to dust off the car. Nice scene
-
Agreed, his instinct is far more right than wrong even when it goes against consensus so that gives me real pause in dismissing the rain solution. There's still enough time for the models to overamp this too so I think the rain option should still be on the table.
-
It'll have a '13-'14 feel if we can get a nice moderate 4-8" storm with prolonged cold to follow and perhaps some nickel and dime events to refresh the snowpack.
-
lol no but when Snowman is on board for a snow event you know something is going down. Actually, Forky is the one you pay attention to when he's honking for a snowstorm. Once he sends out the Batsnow Signal then you know we're good.
-
Honestly, even slightly below normal for a lengthy amount of time feels impressively cold compared to what our bodies have been used to feeling this decade of winters. At least to me it does, so next week is going to feel brutal but at least it'll feel less brutal if we have some snowcover to enjoy.
-
Agreed that cold and dry is the worst but we need the cold air around to have shots at snow even if they're only nickel and dime events. '13-'14 was kind of like this before the bigger events happened later that winter. This has been the coldest winter that I remember in a long time (barely below normal but colder than recent winters) and it's going to be cold for a while longer so I'll take my chances with that to greater the chances of snow.
