Blizzard of 93

Here are CTP’s thoughts this morning: Boundary layer temps slip to critical changeover levels for wet snow beginning in the early evening Tuesday across the Central Mtns and Mid Susq Valley, then across our SE zones around 03-05Z Wednesday. A second, post-frontal period of rain Tuesday afternoon/evening will likely change to a several to 6-8 hour period of light to moderate wet snow with 1-3 inches of accumulation looking increasingly likely SE of a KAOO to KSEG and KMPO line with the highest amounts occurring across the ridges. Could see a few higher amounts on the ridges. Depending on the temperature and snowfall rates, some travel impacts are possible for the morning commute to work and school Wednesday.

The 6z GFS still looks good for our snow opportunity on Wednesday morning.

It’s a follow up wave on a cold front. i think most of us in the LSV will like tonight’s 0z GFS. The Kuchera ratio map is even better.

I think that the LSV is in a good spot for this event. Our snow totals will depend on the track & timing of the follow up wave. Most models for the last few days have consistently kept us in the game.

The 18z GFS continues to look good for our Wednesday morning snow chance.

NAM’d indeed !

& then a great pattern setting up with cold & snow chances for the week before Christmas!

The latest EPS, NAM & GFS continue to keep the LSV in line for a couple of inches of snow with the frontal wave on Wednesday.

The 18z Euro looks great for the frontal wave on Wednesday. The 18z only runs out to 90 hours, so most of us would still have a few hours of snow to go.

Maybe once the Canadian will be right? Here is this beauty of a 12z run for the follow up wave on Wednesday.

The 0z EPS & Control run both look decent for at least another heavy coating of snow by Wednesday with the post front wave. I’m hoping to get my first full 1 inch plus snow this season out of this one.

The follow up wave on the cold front on Tuesday night into Wednesday is gaining momentum. The 18z EPS continued to juice up the wave. Hopefully we can score a few inches of snow if this secondary wave times up well with the fresh cold air.

MDT is officially on the snow board for the season with 0.2” measured today. You have to start somewhere...I’m happy they didn’t just put another T down for today.

I just measured .8 of an inch of snow to also get me on the board this season!

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.
