huh...how'd i miss this. my grids didnt update but i like the sexy talk anyway. Enjoy all Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 717 AM EST Sun Jan 25 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... * Winter Storm Warnings remain in effect through 1 PM Monday with significant snowfall expected across all of central Pennsylvania. * Increased snowfall totals across much of the area due to higher confidence in a band of heavier snow occurring across north-central Pennsylvania. * Updated precipitation types across the southern tier of Pennsylvania to account for more snowfall, still some sleet/freezing rain mentions retained.

without a base, lite fluffy (like LES) hi ratio snow has no density. skis push right through to ground. Tears up carbides (stainless steel/carbide runners) on bottom of skis. When pingers pile up, it creates that needed base for you to "stay up/float" on top of snow (but not too much snow). Its as you an I often call it the "densifier". As i actually have about 1.5" ish inches stil otg from last week i'd be fine, but in areas that have lost snow (etown/mt. joy was bare as of friday), the sleet will make the riding super fun, now if it gets too deep, then sleet, it gets challenging as you are now "floating" or carving through the snow. if we get 6-8 then 1-2" of sleet, it will be f'in amazing riding.

You might be the leader early on. IF we can hang on (as Horst stated) for 4-6 more hours before we filp in Lanco, I'll be 100% happy with this event. Who am I kiddin....... I've been 100% happy for days leading up. Seeing it land safely on our yards, is the icing on a fanfukintastic snow cake.

really starting to come down here. I overstated earlier w/ Cash. I was at 3", but now am 4" and mod/heavy rates picking up. once pingers start this afternoon, that will make for some fantastic snowmobing. 2 sleds out back are ready, and 1 in garage gettin final tweaks. Come on over if ya wanna rip around w/ me.

yeah south central to skook and areas around have been jackzone in my mind for a couple days. I'll ride that pony across the snowy finish line.

I have a small table as my snow check station sitting on my back porch. I think i've got you by 1/2". Spitballin 3.5" and rippin here.

With all due respect, can you try to enjoy what the storm is giving you, and not share every detail of thing you see going wrong. No offense, but many of your obs, are often bunk claims. Sit back, listen, learn..... and enjoy. Please and thanks.

I just let grandpup out and got wood. I was surprised as I'm already over 3" in akron. Plows just made first pass. Very happy so far.

Snowing nicely here in Akron over 1" threshhold. Morning NAM has me up to 16". Looks like is gonna be heavy rates before we ping. Lets have furn w/ whatever we get, and NO Ruin, its not sleeting yet. Get more coffee, sit back and relax.

Youre a friggin wiz kid.... even if youre not a kid. Impressive work bud.

3k ditto. Small improvment thermally. Will it add up to much....dunno, but 700/850's are a touch better for both in NAM suite. Going out to get wood n chores done. Hoping to come back to good news. Reel this one in boys n girls

Go look at 700's. Thats my focus right now. A bit better for those on the line. And I've not started drinkin so snow goggles are not on.....yet

IMO HH Nam is a small but notable improvement. SE'r PA bretheren should approve. Might not make much difference, but every little bit helps down here.

you sure? at 26 i see a 40-50 mile souther adjustment to sn/Ip

3k also tad colder early on

HH Nam notably colder surface at 20 snow line still south of PA. Nice start for sure.

Let’s hope that theme continues well east.

As this has an overrunning component to it I sorta expected things to maybe show up a bit ahead of schedule.

I saw it and chuckled. Soon Time to pick a horse.

of course it is, but you see all of what the other models are showing. you willing to follow just 1 model suite? I'm mean yeah there was 2016, but verbatim, its left end of goalposts IMO

damn primary 3mb stronger isnt helping either

3k showin its warmth at 700's.

dynamic cooling w/ best forcing wouldnt be the first time we were supposed to be "wet" while seein big fatties fallin.

700's look to be showing coastal influence at 27 (column collapsing)? Watch that in future runs. COULD be a path to victory for southers. This is the warmest model and I'm gonna keep an eye on that. Might be noise. Dunno

you said it perfectly.
