Snowing nicely here in Lanco. Closing in on 2” eyeball measurement. Streets caved as well. Perty Perty. 

Mag you may jackpot. Congrats buddy!  

Headed to airport soon. Hope we get out ok. Ultimate irony for me to be going south (not my choice) and to be delayed by snow that I can’t play in. Lol. Still good stuff no matter.

The GFS & Euro crush us next weekend!

You need to subtract about 4 inches from these amounts below because of the storm tomorrow morning. It is a week away, but the pattern supports it. The ensembles have been mixing in solutions like this for days. It’s going to be a fun week of bonus tracking !

I’d give body parts for those maps in January ....let alone April. Wow I may have another week left. Sheesh.

This all kind of surreal stuff here fellas...snow in April is not super uncommon. Tracking multiple threats in the same week in April? I've been around longer than most here and I sure don't ever remember it. Enjoy a rare, glorious week of tracking! 

Yeah we can snow in April but I’ve got to say I also can’t remember 3 legit threats this late in the game in my time doing this. Crazy stuff and man if today’s runs are close to verifying it will go down as quite a notable ending.

Hey Nut...check out the 12z gfs and 12z cmc! There is your welcome back snowstorm for next weekend. Lol 

Sweet. that would be most welcome. I will look extra tan with the backdrop of white snow.

How would Sullivan County in NY's Catskills fare tonight/ tomorrow?

Verbatim both areas are fringed and we too close for a large adjustment north to get them into the best qpf for this event. This looks to be a Somerset to Bloomsburg special.

I was just thinking the same thing.

MDT started March at 18 inches of snow, & currently is sitting at 34 inches now.

If Harrisburg gets 4 inches tomorrow & then gets only 2 more inches with the potential next weekend storm, a 40 + inch season will go down as one of the best end game winters for this area.

Also was thinkin this. The dud February really knocked me(us) back but Mother Nature is trying to make up for her winter slumber. This last couple weeks has really helped to make it feel normalish and ill be less sour when we really do spring forward. 

Happy Easter peeps!!

looks like pa and blizz get some snow in their Easter baskets!!

crazy to see how winter keeps hanging in and if the models are right yet another chance later this week.  Have a good day gang.

This is almost a joke up here anymore. It's fkin April and we still miss South.

that is funny sh!t.  Dont worry though north trend works well as we approach spring.  Climo says it wants to warm more than it does cold.  Havent looked really hard but NAO being on the way to + says it gonna climb (next weekend system)

I hope you have a fun and safe trip. If your back by next weekend you might see some snow. 

Thanks Dax. Enjoy the flakes for me

Before you doze off for the Spring and Summer slap a Central PA on the Spring 2018 thread title. Although it doesn't look like you'll be hibernating quite yet with the look of the pattern haha.

Even if it's brief we usually see our first warm stretch of the Spring in the first half of April but man there looks to be no such thing on the computer models. It didn't even look that wintry for most of February. 

Will do Mag. Yeah I’m “tryin” to get away and let go but hey like some have said....if there’s snow....we track. 

Keep it up Blizz....your mojo is working. 

Just looked at maps and wow. Winter wants to hold on for a bit longer.

Back Friday. Just in time

Yeah he deserves this one. Flying to Florida Monday morn. Would be bitter sweet to leave snow behind but my wife scheduled this trip so it is what it is.

We packed up and left. Half my family went to my uncles in Tennessee and the other half went to my grandparents in SC. You remember nobody, especially the media didn't really have a grasp on what was going on. I remember watching the news at my uncles place and they made it sound like it was total devastation. I was young too, a soph. and totally didn't get it. My dad was the toughest guy i ever knew and i still recall watching the tears run down his face and said we'll never go home. I only ever saw tears in his eyes 2 times, that was one of them. It was scary times.

Wow.  That's a great example as to how we all never really knew the magnitude, but yet knew the possibilities. 

Again....we were REALLY lucky.

I was a freshman in high school who lived JUST outside of the 15 mile radius evacuation zone. Being extremely naive at the time, i was stoked because we were dismissed from school pretty much as soon as the buses could get their to pick us up. I didn't understand the significance until dinner that night when my parents were talking in hushed tone about possibly leaving the area. (we never did but we knew quite a few that did)

Remember it well.  I just got out of hospital after being hit by a car (sledding accident), and was already off school for a month.  Had to leave area due to amount of radiation exposure i already had from full body xrays and whatever other stuff they had to do (I was in a coma for several days due to brain swelling).  Wasn't quite so cool for me when the docs scare your parents and say "get him outta here". 

We ALL got lucky....really lucky, as from what I've learned, i'd not have gone nearly far enough away to be safe.  Scary deal.

i have found when we gradually go into spring, my Lilacs do better. When we have that brief warm up they started to wake up. don't mess with my lilacs  

I agree, it seems like mother nature turned her fans on and never turned them off. I have more clean up of branches and especially freaking pine cones then i can ever remember. 

Glad you didn't lose more.  

lol.  Duely noted.  

I think we lost 1 kind of flower last spring, but I do NOT have the green thumb, so dont ask what they were.  BIG tall and single 3" roundish flower.  They shot up....n went poof.  Look like they belong in Dr. Suess flick.

LOL

My only fear of snow this late, is what it does to the plants and shrubs. I would think right now we should have a pretty spectacular spring as wet as everything is. 

DJR- how are you making out up there on the ridge with this wind, do you have a bunch of limbs and branches to clean up? It seems much windier then normal

I'd be more concerned w/ fruit tree buds.  Down here weve seen the damage of late season cold.  Fruit trees - Peach/cherry trees were devastated a couple years back.

Remember, snow is an insulator and helps ground plants/shrubs.  

Blizz that is some crazy stuff were it to verify.  Just peeked at overnights, and yeah, while progressive in nature, there is plenty of cold close enough for a well timed event to break for some late season love from above, and a few decent chances are showing. 

Here you go.  Discuss away.... and Happy Spring!

See you in the fall

^{you will all come around.  years ago I felt the same way about JB.  I even purchased AccuPro to read his blogs and watch his videos (Big Dog,Long Ranger etc), but after years of listening to him I came to the same conclusion of nearly eveyone who has followed him at one point or another.....he is always pushing the big dog, even when it is obviously not there in the slightest.}

No....some/many of us wont....I purchased him for several years (and wxbell).  I think he's great, but for my level of need, it didnt justify the expense....thats all.

As many of you that dont like him (and his political rants...yes theyre a little much), many of us grew up watching him on weather world and following him on Accuwx.  I will ALWAYS appreciate his abilities....done.

Nut

I can't agree.  I've watched JB explain his reasoning on potential storms threats for years and he's been more right than wrong especially when it comes to the more significant ones.  I'd rather follow someone who sticks to reason and analogs and uses models to help fine tune rather than the model waffling mets that I see on TV and read on different forums and change amounts with every run. 

x 2

JB loves snow and weather.  I appreciate his passion and insight.  As much as he looks for how things may correct in our favor, he also has no problem saying how things change or bust.  He has a better long range nose than most in the business.
