  1. We need to start holding the national weather service accountable yeah this is going to be slightly ranty. But think about it logically for a minute how often are the models actually write and I'm not just talking about three or four days out I'm talking about the day before storm. I swear to God models were more accurate before all these upgrades in 2000 and 2005 or so models I would say 50/50 would get it right now it's like every single storm they show even the day before we're supposed to get it oh all of a sudden all models show it's going to jog 150 to 200 miles east. Does anyone have an actual percentage of what they're right about I mean to show Pennsylvania from Central to East and most of Maryland having 48 or 12 in and then all of a sudden now nothing every single model shifted from a slightly Coast hugger now to out the sea in a way. I mean think about it for a second if we were wrong that much at our jobs you would have been fired lol

  2. why i dont get excited any more about storms 4 5 6 days out. the models never ever hold any more. wouldnt be surprised if this goes off the south east coast. if it does stay near the coast it wont have the strength or precip. I wish every would get the best out of this storm but as normal it feels it isnt our storm or at least the big one.

    It certainly could simply because it will be a high ratio snow, likely of the 18-20:1 variety overall and perhaps even higher ratios in the mountains where there will be some extra upslope lift on the westerly flow. Whole column from 850mb up is in the ideal temp range for snow growth.  I think the Laurels counties probably could get an advisory type deal (PBZ already has them out). The big thing will be seeing how the precip makes it away from the Laurel’s and how much of a downsloping shadow gets cast towards the Sus Valley. Good chance most see a minimum coating to an inch though.

    This whole process looks like it may repeat itself to some degree Monday evening regardless of what the southern stream wave Tuesday does because the second clipper low running the northern branch now looks like it’s going to run ahead of it.  

    Then later Tuesday would be the timeframe for the southern stream system to do something. GFS/Euro have become extremely disinterested in doing anything with it and instead squashing it into the Gulf of Mexico. Our newly anointed guru of the 60-84hr range the NAM brings it up enough to generate some light snow in PA on the arctic frontal boundary, which I think is what we should look for from that system as a best case scenario since we have the northern branch clipper low coming out ahead and thus not much opportunity to amplify and try to turn up. 

    Either way though, that’s three distinct chances at snowfall for C-PA the next 3 days even if they’re lighter events. And I have pretty high confidence in the first 2 doing something.
