I guess it's going to be quiet around here except for the upper LV folks. I don't really see this trending anywhere, the dynamics aren't set up to make this an event for PHL/DE/NJ. A little shift could get some folks a little something interesting to pay attention to though. Stay safe friends. Good luck Ralph.

There's literally no reason to call that the most likely outcome. So much nonsense Ralph, come on. Outcome could be worse, could be better. It's days away and nothing is consistently dialed in.

loll "we" can't do anything and just hoping for different things to happen on a computer model isn't the reality of the situation Ralph come on!! There's a strong consensus here of what's going on and it's clear as day this is NOT a PHL area special. I remember days ago people were like oh no the models are wrong it's so darn cold this has to be snow! No, it's not wrong. The models show what they show because it reflects reality. This forum and the south east forum stands to have some winners. Us foreigners will not cash this one out. Root for our southern brothers.
I am fairly comfortable calling this a non-event for people east of PHL. A couple of shifts could result in mixed precip but I am comfortable making the call now. It will be more interesting N&W but it is looking to be a slop fest at this point. I find this stuff so intriguing though. I am so invested in places like GA and SC getting snow because it's less common and at a high level, it almost sounds unbelievable that it could snow in GA and rain in NJ. It's truly amazing stuff and I am OK not having to stare at snow pack for 3 weeks. I'll for sure be checking in on this one but it looks like a fascinating southern special - the weather channel will definitely be on my TV all day that day.
Blessings all!

This thing could look totally different 24 hours before the event starts. You wouldn't want it to show what you want it to show right now else it wouldn't pan out.

I know certain models are more reliable than others but you gotta laugh when someone says just ignore it, mostly because it shows something they don't want to see lol.

Went for an RSC walk. It's brutally cold out there. No real snow left here though. Apparently that silly big snowfall map made the rounds on social media. Very dangerous spreading that kind of thing - not good. I think a slight system will come through this weekend/early next week but nothing crazy. I'll leave the shovel and salt out just in case.

Went for a walk down by the water. Very cold - can't imagine what it'll feel like overnight. Looks to be pretty quiet this week with maybe some light action early next week. Hopefully can get past this artic cold soon!

Looks like a nice and quiet stretch coming up. Should get through January without any drama and then the unofficial start to fishing season aka st Patrick's day is right around the corner!!

I am here to restore sanity to the dangerous winter weather community. It is my job to accurately forecast the weather but not to root for the weather and the dangerous effects it can have on various communities - especially communities of color.
