I'd rather take my chances tainting then having blocking, Its not an absolute necessity for us to get snow but a strong high along with a strong 50/50 is usually a death sentence depending on where it sets up.
Pa is in line for those higher totals indeed as they look to be in the right spot to maximize qpf, 12" for SNE is nothing to sneeze at, Maybe somebody sees a few more.
If some are still thinking 18"+ i think that was never realistic with the speed and the weaker system being portrayed, Listening to some you would have thought this whiffed SNE.
