We got this. Just happy we might get some daylight snow. Kids will enjoy it regardless. Good luck all! 

Same here I’m near PIT but the bourbon is tasting good. Good luck all! Hope someone cashes in!

Yep can’t wait to check radar in the morning and have live updates

Can’t we all just share in the misery? Lol

Forecast probably isn't updated at the exact time that they put out the advisory. 

Thanks. Just thought it was odd to see rain as well.

WWA but the forecast has rain/snow mix all night.

Was about to claim victory for this since it popped up for me - but doesn’t look like they have one for AGC yet

I made it in! lol.

Given continued uncertainty, have held of on any
Advisory/Warning decisions until later today.

I would rather potentially miss 4 days out then get a storm where the consensus is 6”+ and we end up with a mix and 1” of slop. 
 

All too often we think too much about how we got there not the end result. Snow is snow no matter if it exceeds forecast or falls short. 

4”+ of snow can either be great - or a let down. But it’s still the same.

Stay level and don’t get too high or too low. Keep it all in perspective.

LOL

Looks like it. This is averaged by month. Given today's observed weather and the forecast for the remainder of the week, I can't see the December monthly mean falling enough to change the annual mean.

Is there any way to tell if the mean is higher because of mostly higher highs or higher lows. It feels to me like even though this could be the warmest year, it is mainly driven by the lows not being as cold. just seems like most of the variances are related to warmer temperatures in the historically colder months and less by extreme high temperatures in the summer. 
 

Curious if that data exists.

Looks like long range forecast - at least on weather channel app has gone up 3-4 degrees each day since last week. Now mid to high 30's every day after new years. Trending the wrong way.

Merry Christmas all!

Looks like not much action until at least the turn of the year. Happy Holidays everyone!

Same probably .5 to 1.0"

Looks mild and dry the next 10-14 days.

Agreed just had a backyard ice rink delivered here’s to more like 22 than 23

22.6 here last night. Good to see!

got to 28.9 Here

over an inch of rain last night IMBY

Nice night tonight.

They managed to get 9 of them in there out of 10.

What does this new pattern mean for winter if it holds? (El nino)

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback on how we can improve our messaging! The National Weather Service (NWS) currently uses “Watch”, “Warning”, and “Advisory” headlines to alert the public of weather and water hazards. 

The NWS Hazard Simplification (Haz Simp) project has conducted extensive research on how we might improve our alerting system. In 2021, based on this research and feedback from our partners and public, the NWS decided to replace the “Advisory” headline in favor of plain language headlines. An example is shown below. NOTE: This change will not be made before 2025. 

Current Winter Weather Advisory headline: ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM TO 8 PM EST...

Future plain language headline: ...SNOW: Hazardous travel in snow and blowing snow from 9 AM to 8 PM EST...

This survey will ask for your feedback on how NWS should display Watches, Warnings, and the forthcoming plain language headlines. Feedback will inform how NWS alerts will be displayed on maps and forecast pages in the future.
