Blizzard of 93

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.

Lol, Partly cloudy & 32 in Marysville

Lol, after reading the posts on here this morning, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post about future patterns or storm chances outside of 1 day? it sounds like a few people want to turn this into a glorified Obs thread.

It’s Not what we wanted considering what was on the table for later this week a few days ago….but it should be a crazy few days of weather around Christmas. Thursday A chance of rain, snow, and freezing rain before 1pm, then rain. High near 43. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Thursday Night Rain. Low around 42. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Friday Rain before 1pm, then rain and snow showers likely. High near 47. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Friday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 13. Saturday Partly sunny, with a high near 20. Breezy. Saturday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 12. Christmas Day Mostly sunny, with a high near 21.

Front end & back end is probably all we can hope for at this point.

Come on man, I’m clearly having fun…. The 84 hour NAM & extrapolated NAM is a long running joke all across all weather boards… Relax, I promise it will snow this season !

Lol, 84 hr NAM, but it actually does show frozen precip in the LSV.

MDT is running .4 below normal temperature for the month to date.
