I wouldn’t put much stock in it. Their algorithms get all wonky in situations like this. The wording will probably change ten times between now and Friday. All I know is this, give me .5-1” of qpf thrown into a freezing cold airmass and let the chips fall where they may. -

Low of 33 and .3” of snow off of .11” qpf. All I’m asking for Christmas is an inch or two of white followed by a sleet bomb. What a glorious mess that would be. -

Voyager, with all due respect, and I have empathy for what you’re going through, I really do, but this is a weather forum where the vast majority of us are rooting for winter weather in winter. The negative posts can be a bit much at times. I really hope you get to a better place sometime soon. -

Yeah, as I tell my toddler, "Go to your room and recharge your batteries." Professional mets can't be howling about the inconsistencies of the various models; leave that for us amateurs ha. -

I was thinking you may have been just west of the band. MU mentioned as much, saying how there was noticeable snowfall between the Columbia and Prospect exits of Route 30 but not much outside of that. -

Did you miss out on that band that I drove through early this morning? It was quite something, made for a beautiful scene on the train ride from Mount Joy to Middletown. -

Friday’s forecast is precisely why no one should be making guarantees or arguing about things like surface temps ten days in advance, particularly in a complex pattern. -

Welp I just drove through whiteout conditions on the way to the train and am currently stuck behind an accident on the backroads. Going to miss the first train. Roads were mostly fine but definitely some slick spots and deteriorating quickly. Stay safe out there! -

Oh wow, I wasn't aware of that. I usually try and check in on the western resorts a couple times during the winter season but haven't yet done so. Thanks for the update. Good stuff. -

Low of 18 here. So, what's the skinny for tonight? Any chance the kids will have a delay tomorrow or are the amounts too meager and the temps too marginal? -

All are welcome! Arrive anytime after 1. Hints are that I have a 17601 zip code and live about one mile west of the west hempfield and east hempfield township line. Good luck and safe travels. -

Haha believe me, I strongly considered not engaging at all. The points you make are exactly correct, and why I made my post. His entire post just felt strange to me. -

I mean maaaaybe, perhaps, possibly, mayhaps......but not really. For me personally, no I do not even remotely consider 1 or 2 days in the low 50s in mid-December to be a "torch period". I would also point out that he forecasts for the LSV, not Maine haha, and I assume the people to whom he was responding were also inquiring about the local area, not Canada. I digress. -

Thought this was a curious post by MU. Is he implying that one day in the low 50s qualifies as a “torch period”? I know he loves his warm weather but it seemed weirdly defensive to me and wasn’t sure who he was addressing. -

Low of 26. Going to enjoy my last day of full snow coverage before the heavy rains hit tonight. Still a beautiful scene out there. Quite a memorable start to December. -

Low of 21 but 28 when I left the house. Warm front pushing through it seems. -

Not that I've ever seen. Last night was about as close as I've ever seen it get, which is part of the reason I posted it. Maybe one day. -
