Blizzard of 93

Here is a look at the full RGEM. The Kuchera ratio is crazy here on yet another model. Someone in this region is going to get demolished by this storm.

The winds are really ramping up on the 3k NAM as well...!

Cut those totals in half and I am thrilled!

Great point and well said! I remember a day or 2 before the storm saying to some people that I had never seen 30 inches on a snow map for my backyard so close to the day of an event.

Exactly! That’s the old saying... Its game on when those 2 agree!

Ummm... and the 3k NAM is still snowing on most of us at the end of the 60 hour run!!! It would probably tack on a few more inches of snow to those outrageous maps!!!

No words needed...

I stand corrected.... Kuchera?!?!! Stand by for maps & brace yourselves!

How about 30 “ ?!?!?! The 3k NAM is out of this world!!!

Yes! This!

Not our region, most of our concerns are not the same as theirs!

The 18z EPS still looks great for CTP!

How are your trash cans doing?

The low again gets to southern Delaware and then starts crawling east from there to off of the coast and continuing eastbound! This run, any mixing in York & Lancaster goes back to all snow as the low turns slightly to the east and off the coast!

Yes indeed! I’m running out of adjectives to describe the greatness!

In DT we trust !

This is also very bold for at least the CTP portion of this map! @sauss06 and I are in 18-24 on this map!

The 18z GEFS looks to be holding steady!

Yes, usually they are very conservative, so this is bold for them 2 days out!

Ok, 1 last post for now... Snow is mixing in now in Marysville!

Have a great day of posting guys... I will be back this evening! Please keep the good posts & maps coming for when I can check in once in a while. I can’t wait to see snowflakes today too!

That is super aggressive for CTP from 2 days out!

6z Euro says all systems go!

CTP is worried about breaking the internet! They are feeling it in their discussion update this morning! “Small waggles in the storm track on this or that model are mainly distracting at this point. The preponderance of guidance from man and machine is that we will be in the bullseye for the highest snow amounts over all the eastern U.S. for this storm. The changes overall to the Wednesday-night 24 hours are very very small. But, as one forecaster said, we may end up breaking the internet when we publish the first storm-total SF forecast for the impending storm very shortly. The contours will go up to 20". The lowest numbers are in the NW. After collaboration with WPC and the neighboring offices, we have settled on a Winter Storm Watch for most of the CWA. We have left the NW 6-7 counties out for the time being, though their totals do look like a good 4-6". Nothing to sneeze at, surely. The majority of the snow will fall between 18Z Wed and 06Z Thurs, but we used the rough 8" contour for the watch as a starting point as the snow will probably be longer than that simple 12hr period. There may be additions to the watch later today.”

The highest wind should be over Eastern areas. The Euro shows gusts from 20 to 30 mph at the height of the storm Wednesday night for eastern CTP counties. Higher gusts are possible towards Philly suburbs & Lehigh Valley on east from there:
