  1. Much needed with the long snow drought. I found this out PSU's Weather World interesting: You can really see how rough it's been around State College as well lately:
  2. Doesn't look like too much of a warm nose. Less south of I-70 still, but no particular warm push into our region. I don't think there would be too many complaints from this outcome, ranging from 10" at Morgantown to 20"+ in the northeast, with a general 12-18" over the core metro area.
  3. Looks good. I would probably bring the up to 18" zone further north though.
  4. Funny - I get a weenie for just posting actual data? Warmest December for both the CONUS and CONUS + AK in the 48-year satellite record, and second warmest anomaly of any month is very noteworthy.
  5. Cold one tonight. I saw a thing about exploding trees in Minnesota and I thought that was just a meme. But I was out with the dog, and I kid you not, something exploded in the woods.
  6. What time is the snow supposed to start? Looks like maybe some areas of light snow by 8 or 9 pm, but heavier and steadier snow holding off more towards 1 or 2 am?
  7. 3Z Monday is 10 pm Sunday [5 hours ahead], so that would be between 9 & 10 pm on Sunday.
  8. I think it depends on where you are located. At my house, in the woods, there is an inch or two of solid snow. So I imagine that wooded areas - except on east or south facing slopes - are still fairly well covered. Obviously, in the city, there's little if any snow left, but the rivers are quite ice covered now.
  9. Doubt we would see much more than clouds and some flurries even if it does hold together with this very dry airmass (dewpoints near zero).
  10. Here's what snow depths could look like after the storm according to the 12z NAM:
  11. Snowfall depth positive change looks solid too. Maybe some sleet contamination over the Laurels?
  12. I don't know what's going on at the top of the map. It doesn't line up properly. Typical DT.
  13. Here are the numbers to beat. Maximum 1-day snowfall Maximum 2-day snowfall
  14. 40 is a bit exaggerated, no? All of the official temps are like 33-34 right now.
  15. Looking forward to those 90th percentile maps, if that's the current expectation.
  16. Here are the numbers to beat. Note, xMacis shows 25.4" in 1950 but that's incorrect; the 27.4" given by the NWS is accurate. Legitimately, you could tack on the additional snows on the subsequent days and have up to 32" from that storm. The 1927 storm is shown as 19.4" for the dates given on xMacis - not sure which is correct. Honorable mention to 1978 for its back-to-back foot plus snow storms. Source: snowfalldata
  17. That's what I guessed afterwards. It's been awhile since we've had a storm of this magnitude to track, but the NAM traditionally is the most amped. So it looked like a very NAM-like solution. Sometimes it's right, but if it's the only model showing the mix getting that far north, I wouldn't bet on it. Still a very solid hit areawide if the snow maps are accurate.
