Blizzard of 93

The 18z GFS really got into the happy hour good stuff today. It shows the first chance on the 18th & then another long shot on Turkey Day Eve. I’m so happy digital snow tracking season is upon us, Lol!

I’m hoping a small piece of that lake streamer reaches my yard in Marysville to give me my first flakes tonight.

Fantasy digital snow tracking season has begun thanks to the 12z Euro.

I liked seeing this posted yesterday in the Mid Atlantic region thread.

MDT recorded their first freezing temperature of the season yesterday with a low of 32.

Clouds rolled in overnight, so I only got down to 31 this morning for my low.

My temperature is really dropping off quickly tonight. Already down to 36 at 9:30 pm. I could be on the way to my coldest morning yet of the season.

Windy in Marysville as well!

I’m ready for another year of tracking! Hopefully we are busy tracking storms & rumors of storms in between shoveling ground truth snow!

I like the 20 to 30” snow total for Lancaster, which is very close to normal. We haven’t had above normal snow in the LSV since the 20-21 Winter, so I would sign up for this MU forecast. Near normal snow would feel like a blockbuster Winter compared to the last few years.

1.90 of rain in Marysville for the event.

.79 in Marysville so far.

31 with frost in Marysville this morning.

I haven’t even signed back up for WB yet this season, Lol! The time is coming soon…

Coldest morning of the season here in Marysville with a low of 30 with a good amount of frost.

.32 of rain in Marysville.

Look who made an appearance in the Mid Atlantic Winter preview thread… No one else has posted since in there…

Great news! Has anyone heard from our old friend @paweather ? I remember last year he said he was diagnosed with a health problem. I don’t think he’s posted since, but hopefully he is recovering well. He loves the 540 line & he loved talking about rare October snow.

More from DT on the next few weeks & Siberia comments…

Our friend DT is starting to look towards this upcoming Winter…

.44 for the 3 day storm total in Marysville.

Getting warmed up for this Winter I see, Lol!

34 in Marysville with patchy frost.

That’s great, I hope it goes well!
