Not a terrible spot to be in 48-72 hours out. I thought yesterday evening things would continue to shift north but that didn't happen. Maybe we can get one final nudge north closer to game time to get us in the goods. Either way a nice wintry day out again like January should be.

Good win and still haven’t put together an A offensive game plan. Like the way things are setting up with Georgia/ND think either would be an ok matchup. Let’s get a MECS that weekend for everyone to be happy ⛄️

Boise missed a fg and also had a bad fumble...and their d-back missed a pick 6 opportunity. Psu obviously playing better but this game could be a lot closer.

Penn state has better talent by far but will be outcoached as always in big games. I thought Kotelnicki would provide a nice buffer against Franklin in big games but the same thing continues to happen. Boise can scheme open a te who doesn’t have a defender within forty yards while we bang our heads against a wall.

First half thoughts: like @canderson said Im a bit shocked by the difference in physicality and athleticism. The only way you lose a game like this is awful coaching or turnovers. We got too cute on a couple possessions and penalties are a killer. Come out of the half and score and you really take the air out of their balloon. I have three words. Run. The. Ball. 

If they don’t fumble up 14-0 it’s a boat race. Run between the tackles, play action to hit 1 on 1 coverage, this isn’t hard. 

Slept right through the thundersnow although the wife said she heard/saw it. I think theres a chance we seem streamers make it down into Allegheny county this evening for mood flakes but not expecting any accumulations. 

Next wednesday looking like too much of a thread the needle. Really wish it would at least be a trackable event as it looks it may be our only chance until closer to Xmas. 

This would work 

Wish we were getting some snow in the air with the cold this weekend but as of now looks dry. Monday into Tuesday looks a little more favorable for lake effect to make it down our way.

Driving home from Pittsburgh that day - would not surprise me. 

Finally some digital blue. The lack of fantasy snow and endless golf weather here had me worried 

This run of warm weather has been incredible but I am starting to get concerned that there is not even a hint of cold in fantasy land. I don't mind if the rest of November is warm but you'd think at some point this has to break in the other direction at least temporarily?

Man I wish it was gonna be nice Saturday, but unfortunately it looks like rain. I'd rather not take off work to watch the Pirates in the rain.

Was contemplating grabbing tickets earlier but the weather does look crappy. I'm worried about it getting postponed which is holding me back from just buying the tickets

@KPITSnowignore the gulf tap we got a clipper 

5 inches in oakmont. Hope everyone enjoys

And the ensemble mean is just as bad. Less than an inch over 16 days.

And its a recurring theme these past 2 winters. This isn't the only time its been a 1 glance per day at models, nothing happening, shut the blinds period. Wasn't December pretty similar for the most part?

this is me every single time i start the watching the run of the GFS and don't even see a fantasy storm. This pattern is rough. Hoping second half of February can bring something to cheer for. 

Anecdotal I'm sure but these last 2 winters seem so bad from a tracking perspective. I can't seem to recall ones this bad where its literally weeks at a time with nothing remotely trackable. Maybe going back to what KPIT mentioned as far as the slop storms being less numerous has some merit into the trackability aspect. I can recall years back where we would be tracking and eventually go from a few runs jacking us to a few messy inches. At least we were tracking for several days in those cases though. This is just brutal.

Looks dangerous. Seems like a simple situation in stay home if you don’t feel safe.

lol you guys obviously haven’t been in a lake effect blizzard before. No synoptic snowstorm can compare 

I may have missed but every LES outbreak has happened to not coincide with a sporting event? I honestly have no clue but considering Buffalo Climo seems super rare. 

Play every game in a controlled environment which is the way sports are moving to anyway. Better than lying about snow hitting peoples face so hard that it’s dangerous like the local news is saying. 

Prayers for the sabres fans that made it to the game. It’s a joke they rescheduled. Say you got caught with your pants down where you hung the total and don’t want to risk a good team (Buffalo) getting knocked out in a shit show of a game. 

Awful. What a horrible waste. 2 cutters and everything after out to sea until our mild up. 

I'd prefer we trend in the direction of a more potent southern stream short wave for the 19-20th threat. We don't typically do well with Miller B's, those usually slam northeast of us. Overall, if we get minor accumulations from Tuesday and Friday I'll be pretty disappointed in wasting this NAO period without a big storm. I know that probably ruins the positive vibes from Today but I would think a NINO with a strong NAO block would be one of our best patters to cash in. 

No precipitation after the 2 monster cutter rainstorms this week would be cruel. But it has been consistently shown as an option with the PV dropping in and suppressing the STJ.

This is easily the best snowstorm I’ve ever seen come from a straight cutter. Blue Knob Ski Resort claims a foot has fallen up there this morning.

My in laws in Johnstown are saying they have around 7 inches new. Sounds like this was pretty unexpected up that way? Either way nice to see some central PA brethren cash in. Slushy mess down in Pittsburgh early this AM but been all rain since 8 or so.

Hopefully the WV stations update soon, to get a better idea what’s downstream. Specifically Wheeling and Parkersburg. 
The closest OH sites are still reporting no precip.  

It may depend on rates. If it starts lighter maybe a mix until heavier returns move in. We will see shortly I guess.

Interested to see if we start as snow or a mix. 30 here currently

My in laws live in Warren and staying with them isn’t worth seeing snow (not with this storm obviously but in general).

That’s a good lake effect spot. Now I’m questioning you’re dedication to snow
