Blizzard of 93

The 6z short range Canadian RGEM likes front end snow for most outside of Lancaster (unfortunately…. I am rooting for you guys to score!} Not much of anything on the back end this run.

There should be sudden rapid temperature drop as soon as that front crosses. It won’t take much to whiten up the ground and keep it for Christmas with the frigid temps. I am hoping for a solid dusting to remain for Christmas.

Lol…It might be time for you to take a break….check back in here in a few weeks….

The Lancaster & Lebanon crew will like the 3k NAM at 6z. Most of this is from the back end for Harrisburg, York, Lancaster this run.

Here is the 0z Euro. Most is from the front end potential this run.

The 0z RGEM brings the best run yet for front end snow for the LSV. @paweather & @Itstrainingtime will even approve of this run!

The Euro, RGEM & HRRR all have the front end snow slightly further east Ethan the NAM.

I’m feeling good about at least a dusting for most of us after the front. Some lucky spots could get a little more.

We will get some more snow on the back end once the front moves through & puts us in the freezer.

CTP is ramping things up a bit for Thursday and Friday. The temp swings will be wild as well. Thursday Snow likely before 10am, then rain and snow likely between 10am and 1pm, then rain after 1pm. High near 50. Light east wind increasing to 5 to 9 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Thursday Night Rain. Low around 45. Breezy, with an east wind 16 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 39 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible. Friday Rain showers before 10am, then rain and snow showers between 10am and 1pm, then a slight chance of snow showers after 1pm. High near 50. Breezy. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Friday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 10. Breezy.

Good trends, hopefully 0z treats us well.

The 18z Euro has some post front snow, but it doesn’t add much to the totals in the LSV. Here is the snow map for the entire event from & back combined.

18z Euro snow through the front end total by Thursday evening.

The 18z Euro was nice for the front end for the LSV from Harrisburg & York on west.

We need to move this 40 miles to the east for our Lancaster/Lebanon crew!

It’s Canadian short range high res cousin the HRDPS is nice too.

Lol…I’m not at my snow map limit for the day! The RGEM is sweet for the front end!

Lol, If only we could take the Euro for the front end & the GFS for the back end. I will take whatever snow scraps I can get from this event at this point.

The 6z GFS has better post front snow potential on Friday.

The 6z Euro has better front end potential for LSV north & west of Lancaster.

31 in Marysville for low (5hours before Noon)

This was showing every once in awhile back in fantasy land on some GFS runs & some ensembles as well.

Every pro Met & quality poster on here & across the internet weather universe was fired up about the potential of this pattern. It didn’t materialize as snow for many of our yards, so what do some posters do….? They belittle posters & forecasters that were fired up over a great looking pattern that usually delivers 9 times out of 10… They of course knew all along it would fail….so why did everyone waste their time looking at all of the potential? Why were pro forecasters salivating & woofing over this pattern potential… The naysayers answer… Don’t post about patterns in the 10 to 15 day range….heck 5 to 7 days is too long for some…too much potential disappointment to possibly handle… Lol…. I guess I’ll just start looking out the window instead of looking at everything else…!!!!!

Go back & read the train wreck on here from this morning. It was a happy Monday for me reading that… Partly cloudy & down to 31 now…lol!

We desperately need some snow! Good posters are under attack in the other regional threads on this board as well.
