Another slight bump up in snow on the 12z NBM blend of models in the LSV. Lancaster is now at 5 inches this run.

I'm following this closely as i recall with last weekend event it seemed to perform well. These blend of models slowly diminished and moved NW and that ended up to be fairly close to reality (if memory serves me correctly).  Good to see where it's at right now.

NE thread just posted 6z Eps further SE up there.

Ouch, I've seen this too many times, I just really hope the other models don't slowly move towards them.  I think the next 24 hours will be critical especially once the current storm moves out tonight.  Love seeing all other models on board, but need to see EURO move towards them soon.

Got 1.76" in my gauge, to me this was just another pedestrian rain storm.  I was hearing in the MA (the sky is falling and all from some)  I of course understand I don't live there and am sure some experienced flooding and power outages.  Just underwhelmed imho compared to the hype.  Back to tracking rain this Friday and maybe snow next week.

The CTP website says daily climate summary as of 5 pm.

I see that you are a Meteorologist & your name sounds familiar. Do you work for the National Weather Service?

If you have any contacts at CTP, I would love to know if this is their official total for MDT or will they adjust it tonight with the final Daily Climate Summary overnight?

I don’t know him personally, but he’s a good guy Mgorse

Exactly what I am experiencing and measured an inch too.  Heavy snow!

Flurries now in New Holland, Temp 33 and Dew 30.

digital blue next weekend

don't look now but GFS is up to digital blue next weekend.

It's about go time, the Euro concerns me as I hate being on the border of a tight gradient, but thinking if we get the heavier precipitation as @Blizzard of 93 said we can do more.  I'm going with 2-5 across Lancaster with more to the NW and less SE, (pretty obvious  )

Its what we do down here.  IMO to cry about what we often see here is silly and we should know better than that (or move)..especially based on pattern and lack of deep cold air.  Just happy to see "us" in the game...even if some of us are not the stars of the show.  Any snow is welcome snow in MBY.  I'll be at cabin, so I'll likely be on the northern periphery anyways.  NBD. 

Hoping you get your souther tick before the dreaded norther one comes a callin.  At least we are slowly runnin outta time for big changes.  

Very true, we are sometimes on the good side of the edge and other times not so much.  Either way like you said, it's nice to be tracking something.  Hopefully we can all enjoy some shoveling this weekend.

pleasant surprise eh....

Living on the edge, like to see this shift south slowly over the next 48 hours.

Thanks @MillvilleWx, your thoughts and time are always appreciated!  Agreed it's too early for any maps, but have to like the way things are looking at least right now.

Howdy everyone 

Great to see you, any early thoughts for the LSV and CSV area?  Storm, no Storm, Mix, Rain, or too early   Thank you.

Got 1.15" the last 24 hours and storm total of 1.29". Month to date is 7.89".

Had 3.30 in the gauge this morning.

In all honesty, I'm extremely grateful for what we've seen over the last week or so.  I love these little storms that just creep up on us.  Heck I don't think anyone would have predicted seeing snow falling 3 times over the last week even as Thanksgiving approached.  Just goes to show you, (imho) that because something isn't modeled a week out doesn't mean we can't see snow.  For me this is 10X better than last year.  Side note, I'm happy to see the juiced up systems that keep popping up.  Keep the faith!!

Got 2.19" in the rain gauge and about .75 of snow.

Flurries out here and 31.

A few flakes flying around here at Shady Maple, ( and no the flakes aren't my co-workers )

Dang it's cold, but I love it!  Down to 19 for me this morning.

A mild 52 this Am with .12" in the proverbial bucket over the last 24 hours. 

Exactly what I recorded on the rain, sitting at 54 right now.  

Almost 3/4 of rain this morning.  Thanks to @Mount Joy SnowmanI moved my gauge in a more open area and now I got accurate measurements.

Okay yeah this makes sense.  When the wind is potent enough, you are almost certainly getting some significant rain shadow from being attached directly to that pole.  That second pic of it being attached with the opening above the fence line is ideal.  That's the tricky thing about those manual cylinder gauges, is finding a perfect spot for them.  Believe me, I know, I still haven't found a permanent home for mine at our new house.  I just manually move it around ha, and have an automated gauge as backup.  The main thing though is to have them attached so the collection cylinder is above the object it is attached to (like you had with the fence), rather than being blocked by the object to which it is attached.  This is total weenie stuff haha.

Dang it, I knew that was going to be an issue, grrr!!   Now I'll have to find another spot to hang it.  My tempest went offline and sometimes that can be a bit on the higher side.  Thanks for pointing it out, now back to the drawing board. Ha Ha!  

Hey I appreciate it, I'm glad you mentioned something!  It's actually facing north west.  You can see where I have the 1st picture listed with a "P" and that is where it was hanging which would have been facing south, hence the possible rain shadow from the NW.  The other picture is where I had it last year before the fencing got removed, (which I believe is a more ideal location".  What are your thoughts?

Porsche, where in Lancaster are you?  That seems almost impossibly low from everythig I've looked at. 

I'm in New Holland, and I have my gauge setup and I've thought it was very low too.  Saturday into Sunday I only measured .16 and most of the day Saturday it was dry from about mid morning on.  I've wondered  if my gauge handing on a poll is impacting totals, but yesterday I did measure .70.  IDK
