I take it all in. All of it ha. Then just try and come up with a very broad high-level view of what's most likely to happen and go with that, while hedging a bit to known biases or extremes. A blended model approach is usually a solid way to go.
Ukie with a nice coastal track that gives like 6-8" to us easterners and drops off as you head NW to about 3" around State College. Biggest totals of a foot around coastal NJ and DE. Still has room to be pulled in. A nice result.
You're not wrong. I thought the same while viewing. There was potential for more but I guess that's a good thing?? And yes, it did bomb out pretty good once it gained some latitude, as we so often see. Bottom line, big east coast snowstorm is in the pipeline and that alone is worth some measured excitement.
Yeah roads should remain fine tomorrow with the midday arrival. The one caveat being that it could really thump in certain spots, as has been depicted by some models, and as we know rates can always overcome. However, those would likely be brief bursts and things would clear up quickly again. Mainly a grass event and then we watch in melt. Such a shame we couldn't flatten things out and keep those temps from spiking just a little bit more on Sunday. With that cold coming it would have been nice to keep a layer down.
ICON starts things off and, while not an especially tight track, presents a pretty nice outcome....
Edit: I should also add that it throws out a decent 2-4" thump tomorrow for Harrisburg and points northeast, while bulls eying @Voyager with ~6". Pretty much an inch or less for Lanc/York/Adams etc.
I'm thinking an inch from the front-end dump down this way tomorrow, two if we're lucky. Then a period of freezing rain before it all gets washed away Saturday night into Sunday. Could be fun for a few hours around lunch tomorrow. Then comes the cold for a few days starting Monday, with all eyes on the midweek coastal. 12z looms....
Low of 25 with .01" of additional rainfall yesterday morning. Glad to see all the positive news about overnight runs. Now we just have to keep our emotions in check for the better part of a week. What could go wrong haha.
I’ve seen some insane prices at all types of venues but THAT might take the cake. I’m struggling to do the math on how they charged you that much for two drinks. It’s criminal what these places charge for stuff. Absurd.
For sure. I made it a point to look when we went by MDT on the train on Tuesday and it was still very solid. There are a few open areas starting to appear but overall still a very nice frozen look.
Low of 33 with .19" of rainfall. Less rain than I expected, which was nice because it allowed everything to remain white. A nice soaker this weekend (maybe some lucky front-end white) before things turn COLD for next week and then we hope for a bigg'n.
I probably shouldn’t be responding to this at all haha, but if you think the models were better when you were a kid you’re a complete idiot. A next level moron, and I hate to be mean. But c’mon guy.
Biggest flakes and lowest visibility of the day here in Harrisburg, despite weakest radar returns ha. Got to love winter radar. Moderate for sure, could even lay. What a scene up here.
