Blizzard of 93

This upcoming pattern is loaded with potential. We will win some & miss some, but I don’t see a shut out.

0z GFS stepped up a bit for the LSV tonight.

Solid radar returns over the LSV now… it shouldn’t be long now.

0z NAM shows the high end potential of this event tonight. I would be thrilled if this thing somehow produced 2 inches in the LSV.

Every flake will stick, hopefully we all get an inch or a little more.

Here is CTP’s latest for tonight.

The pattern starting next weekend through the following week should be active with more Winter precip chances. Ops & ensembles are trying to figure out the specific opportunities, but I like the potential of the last 2 weeks of the month.

We know this coming week is dry, but the pattern gets more active next weekend & the following week should have chances.

Silver lining is that most of us should wake up tomorrow to a coating of snow & few lucky folks might get an inch or so.

This should cheer everyone up a bit… DT’s last call map for the light event tomorrow night.

That’s a tough gut punch of a loss for Penn State fans. Sorry guys, but they did have a great season.

The 0z NAM is slightly better than 18z, so maybe that helps?

Penn State is playing a great first half.

Back to the weather, here’s the 0z HRRR for Saturday am.

I really don’t like the anti Catholic slander on here today whatsoever. As a practicing Catholic who went to Catholic school including college, I find these comments to be offensive.

I understand! That’s how I get during Eagles games & Phillies playoff games.

It’s now casting & HRRR & NAM time.

I’ve been staring at this map all week trying to understand why this isn’t delivering at least a low end Warning event, but the streams don’t want to interact properly or get out of each other’s way unfortunately.

6z NAMs improved just a bit for the light event Saturday am.

Agreed, there is a decent amount of moisture available if the 2 streams can play together nicely or at least not fight each other off.

There would still be a little more to go if the run went past 60 hours.

The 3k NAM is slightly more interesting for the Saturday am light event.

@Itstrainingtime It looks like @psuhoffman agrees with your assessment from yesterday, Lol!

Someone in another thread earlier mentioned that these light nickel & dime events can help to make a difference in the seasonal snow total. These 1.2 & .3 & .8 type of events can add up if you get several of them in a season. Last season, MDT had 5 moderate events that added up to 18 inches. What was missing were the nickel & dime events that could have allowed the seasonal total to be more respectable. My point is that I’m ok with the nickels & dimes as long as we get some meaningful storms along the way.

Back to the Saturday light event, here’s the 18z Euro.
