Blizzard of 93

Yes, it sure is nice to look out of the window this morning to see my first heavy coating of snow this season.

Moderate snow currently in Marysville. There is a solid coating of snow on all surfaces except the roads, but the edge of the street is showing early signs of caving. I might be able to put my first inch or so of snow in the books here by sunrise.

Steady light snow is underway in Marysville. I don’t even need to stare too closely at the street light to see the flakes coming down. There is already a light coating on the car top.

Some very light snow flakes have just started in Marysville! The Radar looks to be blossoming nicely across southern PA!

I think that I should take a little nap now so I can wake up in a few hours to witness this potential heavy coating!

Ok, hot off of the press...The NAMs .... There is growing consensus for my dusting overnight!

That’s great work ! You got my attention with tracking that band of snow last night. I pulled up the radar in time to see that it barely missed me to my east. Maybe tonight will be my yard’s turn!

I’m holding my breath for my dusting of snow ! Come on NAM ! My yard has not seen a solid dusting yet this season.

Here is the latest run (0z) of the HRRR available on Weatherbell.

Here is the 18z Euro for tonight.

It was the latest full run on Weatherbell...feel free to post the latest if you have it good sir.

Here’s the latest HRRR snow map for tonight. @Bubbler86 & I officially accept this run!

Nice to see the HRRR on board. I’m hoping for a dusting in my yard here in Marysville.

Maybe MDT will get on the board tonight with a couple of tenths of an inch of snow tonight?

I posted a few hours back about the major differences between CTP & Mt. Holly with their snow forecasts for tomorrow. CTP must be just waiting to see what happens before they forecast anything for the LSV.

Nice! The 9pm Obs show that it has flipped to snow in Williamsport, Selinsgrove, & State College.

I wouldn’t mind the 2 to 3 inches that the 0z NAM shows for my yard either.

Here are some short term models. The 18z NAM & 18z HRDPS. The LSV is still in the game.

Yes, but the general public & businesses need something better to go on. It’s not really a dependable forecast if they wait until the event is underway to make a call. I understand that’s it’s best to make a conservative forecast. However, if the 12z models are close to correct, & we get a few inches of snow tomorrow, then most people are going to be caught off guard.

The differences between the State College & Mt. Holly forecast offices are striking. Western Chester & Berks counties are under Winter weather advisories for 3 to 5 inches of snow. Meanwhile, CTP only has 1 inch or less forecast for Lancaster & Lebanon counties. Mt. Holly has 4 inches for Reading & 2 for Coatesville. CTP basically ignored the snow last week when many places in the LSV got their first inch or 2 of snow, so maybe things will work out better for us if they ignore tomorrow as well. It’s just hard to believe that they ignored completely the 12z model suite that showed multiple models giving the LSV a couple of inches of snow. Maybe they will wait until after 0z runs tonight before they make a call for the LSV?

The EPS looked good for our snow chances tomorrow. It looks like the LSV gets into the good band of precip tomorrow.

Which model is showing this?

Yes sir, it sure does. The Euro is the best model run yet for the LSV & most of CTP. Solid Advisory level event if this verified.

The Short range Canadian models say yes to snow tomorrow in the LSV.

I just saw the 12z GFS & it gets the LSV into the decent snow tomorrow!
