Blizzard of 93

Let’s go!!!

Someone should start a new thread now that it is March 1st. We need to change our luck for March & April snow! In the famous words of the great Ji…. My Winter thread has been a disaster!

I would enjoy my 2 or 3 inches of snow on Friday while tracking the incoming Major storm the following week!

I’m on board sir! The Euro Control run has it too!

I’m sure that we will get a good legit Winter storm to track just as soon as the clocks change just to make us suffer through the extra hour wait for the weather models!

The 6z GFS has a little front end snow followed by a mix to rain eventually on Friday for the LSV.

DT is on board for the March pattern change to colder in the east with chances for Winter storms.

5 miles to your north in Marysville, CTP has 1 to 2 inches of snow on Friday. Thursday Night A chance of rain and snow after 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 33. North wind 9 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Friday Rain, possibly mixed with snow. High near 39. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.

The @Itstrainingtime storm is alive & well towards the end of the 18z GFS.

Lol, This is a classic! I can’t wait to hear the second verse!

The 6z GFS, 6z Euro & 0z Canadian for Friday each have a few inches of front end snow from the turnpike & to the north. The latest Euro starts the snow at the MD line. The 6z Euro ends at 90 hours, so maybe a bit more to go as well for areas further to the north & east. Still a few days to go to see exactly where the front end snow line sets up.

My Temp is down to 34 with heavy precip on my doorstep… Let’s see what type of precip…?

My temp is down to 35 with 31 dew point. I’m hoping this heavier batch of precip in west central PA can deliver a coating of snow/sleet when it arrives later tonight.

Same here. Sleet in Marysville, temp 38

Here again was the 0z Canadian. 2 of the 3 major global models have Warning level snow for most of CTP.

Here is the 0z Euro snow map- just for the Friday into Saturday period. Warning level snow for most of CTP.

The 0z Euro for Friday has more of initial cold push as the storm arrives in PA. it gives a good front end of snow. Then the low secondaries in the DelMarVa and all of CTP goes over to a mix. The low then pulls away to our east and many in CTP go back to snow, especially in the northern half of PA.

Not for southern PA in the LSV & MD.

Here is that 0z ICON

All of the models have had good snow hits for this event for us at varying times. It was the GFS that originally raised the excitement level for this storm with several great runs late last week. Then the Euro & Canadian had multiple good to great runs on Friday & Saturday. Bottom line, we have several combos of good model runs since late last week. The final story is yet to be written.

Oh Canada…. !

The 0z HRRR continues to look wintry tomorrow evening for most of CTP.

Meanwhile, sorry to interrupt the mosquito discussion…Lol !

The GFS is far from set in stone for the Friday event. Here is the 18z run (top) vs. the 12z run (bottom). The 18z moved the snow line over 100 miles back to the south in PA. The 12z run had the 3 inch line in Williamsport. The 18z run has the 3 inch line in Lancaster. This is not done yet for anyone in PA!
