Blizzard of 93

Back to the short term, the 0z NAM is not giving up on Thursday and gives even the LSV 1 to 2 inches.

Great post & reminder of what our seasonal averages are in the LSV. MDT averages 30 inches of snow per season. The monthly breakdown if I recall correctly is 1 inch in November, 5 in December, 9 in January, 10 in February & 5 in March. Currently MDT is sitting at 5 inches for the season to date. By the end of January, MDT needs to score about 11 inches to stay on pace for the seasonal average.

I just recently set up a few folks on the “Ignore” feature on here for the first time in my 12 years of membership. My viewing experience on here is already so much better. If no one replies, I’ll never see certain posts. I highly recommend it!

I’ve looked at a lot of snow maps in my lifetime, but I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a 16 day map for Central PA that produced these insane amounts. I think most would be thrilled if we approached near 1 foot in the next 16 days…

Moving forward, the pattern looks active in week 2, with perhaps a chance of some moisture laden storms approaching from the south & west, instead of this never ending Clipper parade that we’ve had since mid December. There should be cold air around to tap into, so hopefully we can reel in something specific to track for later in the month.

Not what most of us were hoping for this week, especially with the way several model runs had been trending. Hopefully we at least see some snow in the air & maybe a coating for some.

Wednesday Night A chance of rain before 4am, then a slight chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 24. Southwest wind 5 to 14 mph becoming northwest after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

21 in Marysville for the low.

Maybe we still have an outside chance to squeeze out a light event out of one or both of these chances this week?

18z Euro also has more light snow on late Saturday night for much of CTP.

18z Euro still brings some Thursday light snow to the LSV and a couple of inches to the Williamsport area.

Need a comeback today on the models for the late week period. Things were looking good through 12z yesterday & then the wheels fell off. Hopefully today we see a better trend.

Yup, I forgot it’s all over & already failed, lol… Panic room is one thread over there…

@TSSN+ Didn’t you just complain about @Ji complaining & derailing the thread yesterday…? You are right there with him today, lol! Maybe take a break?

It Just arrived in Marysville as well.

Best Euro run yet for the Thursday chance for the Susquehanna Valley.

12z GFS combined snow through Sunday night.

12z GFS is back this run for the Sunday chance with another CTP Advisory level event with heavier amounts to our east. Snow map is Only for the Sunday period.

12z GFS is an Advisory level event this run for most of us on Thursday with heavier amounts just to our south. Not a bad place to be 4 days out…

Thankfully Mt. Holly had a good update this evening on their discussion… KEY MESSAGE 3...Potential for a coastal storm Thursday and/or Friday. Impacts/details are very uncertain as these will depend on how close to the coast the low tracks. For Thursday and Friday, the upper air pattern is forecast to become more amplified across the East. The sharpening of an upper-level trough will develop a storm, however the details are much less certain at this time. The model consensus is pointing toward a storm, however whether this will become a coastal storm or one that simply goes out to sea is the forecast challenge. Some guidance suggests a significant winter storm while others are a miss. If the southern energy can remain out ahead of the northern stream energy along with a trough axis more neutral or becoming negatively tilted, then the surface low would tend to be closer to the coast. The guidance that has more of a positive tilted upper-level trough shear the system northeastward and keeps it out to sea. The closer to the coast scenario would favor more precipitation westward across our region, with the timing either Thursday or Friday. Given the wealth of uncertainty in the details, did not alter the forecast away from the NBM guidance. This continues to show low chances for now of rain and/or snow Thursday and Thursday night, however it currently is dry for Friday. If some of the guidance is correct, then PoPs would need to be added/increased for Friday. A colder air mass is forecast to be in place at the of next week and to start next weekend.

Lol, they updated it with No update. Their forecast discussion says updated 723 pm, but it must have been just a short term update. No mention in the discussion or grids of Thursday or Friday storm chances. It’s going to be a shock to some of the general population if the GFS or Euro were to verify.

Decent 18z Euro run for the 15th chance.

Yes, but I would still gladly sign for it.
