Blizzard of 93

It looks like CTP removed any chance of rain today for the Harrisburg area. A couple of days ago today was supposed to be a washout. It looks like New England is getting a good Spring snowstorm tomorrow!

@paweather must have hacked in to the GFS!

How about a road trip to the Catskills or Berkshires ? Tamaqua might get fringed!

I disagree. They often forget their role in sending proper messages to the public because they are too concerned with their internal criteria. Sometimes the “spirit” of the law overrides the “letter” of the law. I know that I had a severe thunderstorm here with violent lightning, but was not warned.

I’ve had a Watch or Warning for much less over the years. This Storm tonight deserved it more than many failed storms with headlines from previous events.

First storms of the year & lightning is certainly a hazard!

All of this & CTP didn’t bother to hoist a Watch or Warning....

Yes, this is a long duration rolling thunder & lightning show! It is even more majestic when you haven’t had a good storm since last summer.

Any chance of hail with these storms tonight?

Lots of thunder & lightning the last few minutes. Heavy rain underway now.

I had steady rain 5 miles away from you until the sun recently came out here.

The rain recently ended and the sun is emerging from the clouds. Maybe we can still salvage part of the day?

Not much precip is currently showing on the radar in PA. There is more precip back in Mid-West that might pivot through later on.

The rain actually just escalated here to a steady moderate rate.

This light rain & mist is brutal!

Sorry, I had thought that you were referring to the Euro Control. My post was pre-coffee this morning! I like the GFS much better that you posted!

It’s raining....great weekend day....why couldn’t this wait until Monday? Of course early this week will be nice when most of us can’t fully enjoy it!

I wish that was the situation, but I’m not seeing anything close to that according to the snow map.

How about Tamaqua? ....we have a connection up there where we could snow chase!

@losetoa6 How is our snow chance doing today on the models?

I agree...we put down our mulch today. Much better day today than 85 and humid next month!

Might as well post the 18z GFS snow map just for fun! This would be a @Voyager special!

Let’s do this! it would be a great way to wrap up a crazy year!

The Euro & Canadian strongly disagree with the GFS on rain amounts over the next 10 days.
