The Iceman

HRRR is 32-34F during the heaviest rates...that'll definitely accumulate regardless of how warm it has been leading up to the storm. This sort of set up reminds me of March 7-8th 2018... we were light rain until the heavier echoes moved in then BAM 5-6 hours heavy snow/thundersnow..all surfaces caved despite temps 32-34 during the day...got 9 inches of concrete at 6-7:1 ratio's.

17z RAP and still thumping at that hour...I believe!

Uncle UKIE goes even further south now with a SNJ jackpot lolz

I'd be happy with a slushy inch, won't believe anything more until I see it...

Pretty interesting trend on the EPS from 12z yesterday to today(stolen from the mid atlantic forum). If I lived in the LV/Pocono's, i'd be getting excited.

Well we have the wiggum rule going for us with temps soaring above 60 on Saturday...

Not sure what you're looking at TBH. 06z GFS A. doesn't even look all that "warm" unless you consider mid 40's "warm"...there's one day past day 10 that possibly gets into the 50s but who knows at that range. B. It doesn't look all that wet either save for a few showers tomorrow. The next major synoptic threat isn't until Feb. 15 which is likely the table setter for the pattern change. It's really not far off from a snowy solution but it's also 330 hours out so really no use hammering details at that range. First half of the month looks mostly slightly above normal temps(again mostly in the 40's) and dry. The storm on the 15th will likely be the first "threat" in the new pattern that could be wet or white, details TBD as it's 14 days out...the best potential lies after the 15th if LR ensemble guidance is to be believed at this range.

I think the first half of Feb is about the worst possible winter pattern imaginable. Still cold and raw enough to not really be able to enjoy the outdoors but not cold enough for any snow threats, just endlessly slightly above normal temps(upper 40's) with zero snow chances. 2nd half of the month still looks on track to get into a better pattern but how much staying power will it have? Thinking it ends up being similar to the January good pattern. 10-14 days with multiple legit threats and hopefully we land 1 or 2 to get us close to average on the year. After that though, likely on to Spring...

12z euro gets accumulating snow even down to the 95 corridor. I think you may have to cut the totals on the clown map in half down there due to the changeover from rain and surface temps but would still be a decent event for many. As Newman said, LV gets absolutely pasted:

Finally tapering off to light snow now.. currently at 4.6”. Don’t think we get to 5” but this was an enjoyable storm! Kudos to mt holly, their snow map was pretty bang on from even their first call. Hope this shows people there is more to snow forecasting than reading model clown maps.

Just crossed 4” in Levittown

Up to 2.5” here now, this band is delivering the goods.

1.2” of pure powdah so far. Currently in between bands with light snow. Radar looks great for se pa into south and central jersey.

Read the AFD, it explains it pretty well.

From the most recent AFD Straight powdah as they say up north. That would also explain the higher projected totals area wide than what some of the models are spitting out on the clown maps.

That's where I'm at... I don't expect it to verify but I understand putting out the WSW as it could potentially verify. Better to be safe than sorry in these situations imo.

I wouldn't set my expectations that high... IVT's are notoriously tricky to nail down ahead of time. Could very well only be 2-3" if you miss out on that. Don't think anyone should go into this expecting 4-6".

Not much change from Mt. Holly's snow map after the 12z runs: I think 2-5" is a good bet for much of the subforum. There will be a narrow corridor of 4-8" wherever the IVT sets up.

The way people around here drive any time snow is falling, that's not much of a stretch... Monday night was atrocious and there was like a dusting of snow on the roads at the time..

I have a feeling Sirianni will be returning so not getting my hopes up quite yet and him returning would be a disaster imo. Next year would be destined for a poor start and a firing midway though the season if he returns. There's no coming back from this sinking ship as a coaching staff. Lurie needs to do the right thing and pull the plug now instead of wasting a season next year. Plus I don't think it matters much who the coach is in Dallas as long as Dak is there. Dude is just straight ASS every time the calendar flips to January. I don't think even Belichick could win a super bowl with him as the QB.

Well whatever we get, I'm going to enjoy it, ya never know, it could be the last snow of the season...

Mt. Holly first call seems fairly bullish:

Made it down to 12F last night.. With the freezing rain yesterday, snowpack is like a glacier. Don't see that going anywhere before Friday.

IMO I would dangle Hart at the draft and see if you can get another 1st round pick this year. Best case scenario would be making a playoff run this year and then heading into this draft with 3 first round picks. They already have 2(their own and Florida's.) With Drysdale coming over in the Willy Cutter trade(seriously his real name is William Cutter Gauthier ) and Zamula showing he belongs in the NHL, they should be able to dangle Walker for a 1st or 2nd as well. Feels weird to believe in the front office and organization again but I feel like they are on the right path towards building something special.
