Even if MDT only gets around 3 inches of snow, they will be at “normal” average snow through Monday’s date with a seasonal total near 10 inches. If MDT gets closer to the 5 or 6 inches of snow, then MDT will be a couple of inches Above normal by Monday!
True, & it really doesn’t matter much, but some people & businesses might say, “No Watch here, no big deal” because there is no Watch despite their actual current forecast.
I thought their main goal was to try to “protect life & property”?
Again, based on this CTP map above, why no Watch for Dauphin county?!?
More snow than York and similar amounts to Adams & Cumberland!
It makes no sense.
Do they not realize where the capital city is located? A watch might get some folks attention?
I was just thinking in general about our rare “great” coastal storms. By the time the storm approaches our latitude, we usually already have a really good amount of snow on the ground. There is usually a lot of precip well out ahead of the low as it gains latitude up from the gulf states.
My point is that we can score decent snow with this storm by the time the low reaches southern VA or the DelMarVa, even if it then goes downhill after that for us.
