Itstrainingtime

I'll sign now for that.

Ouch for most of Lancaster/York...

I'm not sure that the Euro is right with this, but let's play along and say that it is - given the location, track, and intensity, it's really hard to believe we wouldn't have gotten more snow out of that solution.

That was taken yesterday in town - in advance of the 5-7' coming starting tomorrow... Ski area is now making plans on possibly being the first U.S. ski resort to not close during a calendar year.

Okay...time to fess up and come clean...I was NOT in meetings this morning. A friend took this pic of me out on my morning walk:

Euro actually deepens the low right off the NC coast and moves slowly up the coast. Verbatim it's really close to a much bigger outcome, especially for eastern PA.

Map in question: (maybe more falls after this @paweather)

Definitely NOT 3-4" across the LSV from what I see on Pivotal...many areas yes, but again to say "all of the LSV" is just not accurate.

So...my period of interest is bringing everyone snow but me? That ain't supposed to be the drill here! LOL

I'm in meetings all morning - please, please keep the snow train on the track until the train man gets back after lunch.

34 and still quite brisk this morning. Beautiful morning though with a gorgeous sunrise.

Pattern looks really, really good by next Monday - Ridge over Boise, Baffin block, 50/50 in place, trough neutral over the Tennessee Valley.

Euro/NAM combo is tough to ignore.

That would be a great kickoff appetizer for our snowy window!

I think anything from wave #1 is a big time bonus at this point.

I'm challenging you to make a positive post about the weather. You got this...

Elliott just shared some thoughts - I'd say he picked some nice dates for his timeframe: (1/4) Mother Nature's version of #MarchMadness in the eastern U.S. begins today. A big pattern change.. featuring a pronounced west-based -NAO (Jet Stream blocking centered southwest of Greenland) and a progression toward western US ridging.. is underway.. (2/4) .. and will reach maturity between March 10-20. The high-latitude blocking suppresses the Jet Stream farther south into the mid-latitudes, and the subtle ridge in the West forces storm systems to track underneath the block instead of cutting into the Great Lakes.. (3/4) Add to this a highly-amplified Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) wave running wild through phases 8 and 1, and we have a recipe for below-normal temps and at least a couple opportunities for snow in southeastern PA and northern MD over the next two weeks.. (4/4) With that being said, snow-lovers need to root for the upper-level low responsible for the Fri/Sat storm to track farther south. If it doesn't, we'll have a "nuisance" event with a rain/snow mix and 1-3 inch snowfall amounts (at best) on grass..

Steady as she goes - I've been excited for a few weeks now and it's awesome to see some threats that can pay off. Further, there might be something lurking that we haven't even seen modeled yet. #allaboardtheittlimited.

Superstorm '93 was earlier...March 12th or 13th from what I remember. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Storm_of_the_Century

I'm all over it.

That's the wave that PSU is all over (though he's still interested in wave #2) and it comes at the end of what I believe is the most favorable period. I still think there's way too much volatility to give up on the next 7 days.

No precip here in Maytown - at least nothing measurable. Clouds and peeks of sun with a brisk breeze and 38 currently. As I've been mentioning...a whole gamut of solutions out there for the next week or two. The GFS this morning had a BEAST on the east coast at the end of my window. Isn't there some truth that a KU event often comes as the pattern breaks down?...

Buy YOU a coke? It looks like my post hit before yours did.

Shows the variability, uncertainty, and most importantly the potential in the upcoming couple of weeks. Multiple chances with many solutions to come.
