Good lord. This thing ended up turning into a total bust, even more than we already knew it to be ha.

1.5" here in west-central Lancaster County, and that's with me probably being a wee bit generous on a couple .1" events ha.

It sure is and that's certainly a possibility, but overall it just seems a bit wonky to me. I think the Goofus is still figuring some things out and needs to clear the map of the current storm.

What a sad looking radar.....classic weak disorganized Miller B look......

We have a flizzard here in West Hempfield Township. This may be as exciting as it gets.

Indeed. They were third at the SC regional tournament behind only Central Dauphin and Gettysburg. They are one of the smallest schools in AAA, so like you said impressive to be beating much larger schools. Good stuff. Back to weather, NAM looks interesting towards the end of its run for Monday.

Ah yes I see him now. Boiling Springs always has a strong program. They just moved up to AAA for the first time this year. Very nice. Good luck to him today as he battles back through consolations. PA States is a real meat grinder.

It's always impressive to makes States as a freshman. There isn't a single freshman in District 3 (Southcentral Regional) who made the state tournament at a weight above 114 pounds. Might these friends of yours attend Gettysburg school district?

Normally this... combined with this... would have me quite excited but yet again, despite the rest of the column being cold, we have to contend with this....

I would add that no matter what happens it's Pennsylvania state wrestling championships weekend! Yes, I'm fully aware that I'm likely the only person on this forum excited by this fact haha. Hang in there Training. Whatever you're going through will only make you stronger. The sun will always rise anew. Sending much love your way my brother.

I thought the same this morning. She was a real 'beaut.

No it’s not overnight. It’s pretty much entirely a daytime event, which is one of the myriad problems given we’re nearing mid March.

It eventually does pull in the cold air and drops like 8" on much of Lancaster County, but yeah, a very bizarre depiction. A lot of changes yet with this one, me thinks.

Nice. That's about exactly what he got as well. He has the luxury of being completely north facing too, so the pack always holds really well. The cams on the PA Grand Canyon Snowmobile Club website have always been my go-to source.

Yep. That whole "State College to Sunbury and points north" area I mentioned a couple days back has always looked solid. My buddy's cabin up at 1800' near the Tioga/Potter border made out great with the last event and is set up nice for this one. Granted, that spot is almost always set up well ha.

Yeah it's been a bit depressing perusing the models this morning. I'm not giving up hope beyond Friday but it would be quite fitting for this winter to end with another series of disappointments. We'll keep scouring for signs of life though, and like I've said previously the ULL pattern could at least be interesting for a couple days.

That's pretty much what I was trying to convey in my post a little while back. He just did it better and with a lot more science backing it. I'll let Elliott have this one

Neither do I, particularly ones that gain this type of latitude without a sufficiently cold antecedent airmass in place. To say nothing of the surface temperature issues that are going to act as a big deterrent to anything falling as white staying white.

I think we are very near a consensus for the Friday threat, with minimal changes from here on out. I see a Miller-B type system that's just a little too disorganized and gains a little too much latitude, while being a bit slow on the transfer and then moving east fairly quickly once it does. All in all, just a snow/rain showery kind of day with some moderate to heavy periods embedded. Accumulations will be tough to come by, with surface temps well above freezing making for inefficient accumulation and no issues on roadways. Perhaps a couple slushy inches on non-paved surfaces would be my take for most of the LSV, with likely less for areas south of Harrisburg. I think you'll have to go up to about a State College to Sunbury type line and beyond before seeing some respectable amounts. Jury still out on the subsequent threats. The real intrigue may reside in the Monday to Thursday period when we're stuck under the ULL, with daily chances for snow showers and perhaps some decent squalls. These setups always surprise. I expect a few select locations to make out pretty well during this period, with temps much more conducive to holding whatever falls. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Onward.

As if we didn't have enough reason to be excited, the 'ol NAVGEM has multiple good looks for us in the coming week! But seriously, is the Navy model just completely disregarded at this point? Didn't there used to be a handy adage about the NAV being the most progressive of the models? Feel free to hit me with a lifetime ban for even bringing this to the table haha.

To these untrammeled eyes, each of the GFS, CMC, and Euro offer bountiful opportunities in the weeks ahead and either display multiple outright hits or are oh so close to very solid events for the forum. There is much to be ironed out but the potential is undoubtedly there. How can you be a weather enthusiast and not be at least a little excited by the pattern ahead. With the passing of every 12-hour shift, my intrigue grows. #WinterIsComing

Good morning all! Just some flurries here in the capital district. Laporte got 8 inches of snow last night, because of course they did. Also, Peter Sinks, UT hit -41. Just thought you should know. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty amped to check out today's 12z suite. Just so many possibilities. Everything from complete shutout to snowapalooza is on the table.

Just absolutely wild what is happening out there. Looking through their historical records, it seems the 2010-11 season was their snowiest on record with 669". I think they break that this year, perhaps by a wide margin. 555" and counting.....

Yep, seems like a lifetime ago ha.

I am choosing to lock in the Ukie at range. Sue me.
