Blizzard of 93

The advertised better pattern looks to be on track beginning around December 5th on the 0z EPS & 0z GEFS.

The advertised better pattern looks to be on track beginning around December 5th on the 0z EPS & 0z GEFS.

The pattern progression was evident on the 12z EPS & GEFS today. By December 5th, a favorable pattern with winter storm chances should emerge if the advertised looks on the ensembles & weeklies come to fruition.

The models backed off of that next weekend storm idea for now. Let’s see if it shows back up or not.

Lol, this year’s party is just getting started. It’s very early, so anything we get before mid December is gravy.

Frosty & foggy 33 in Marysville this morning.

The 0z Euro shows it.

The 12z GFS was rather interesting for a couple of days after Thanksgiving.

Congrats to everyone that got on the board overnight! Hopefully it’s the first event of many for our group on here!

39 & rain in Marysville with maybe a stray flake mixed in if I squint enough.

18z GFS has a little light snow showing this run on Tuesday early evening for the LSV with a weak wave.

This wind means business today. Advisory is for real.

@sauss06 maybe would lend a hand as well? I am already done with wind this Fall.

The darn wind woke me up around 4 am. Hopefully my trash cans are not currently in the river!

Great early season storm! It started as a little rain & wet snow in the LSV. The heavy precip band arrived in the late morning & the snow rates became heavy by around noon & persisted until early evening. I think we got 8 or 9” of snow. Many people went to work because it didn’t start until mid morning & most forecasts were for maybe a slushy few inches on grassy surfaces. The heavy rates meant business & it was one of the worst commutes home for me. I-81 was a nightmare that afternoon in the Harrisburg area with many accidents.

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!
