6z GFS holds serve...

Considering the high ratios this one should have, I think the Kuchera map is the right way to go.

Cracked the zero mark sometime overnight. Now sitting at -2.9 in my backyard. At my colder location shop in Andreas, southeast of here it's -9.4

Single digits as of 7:30pm. Down to 9 in Tamaqua proper. If I don't make a run at zero tonight, down the the valley at my work garage will. It was 6 down there an hour and a half ago.

Euro is a major hit. 

GFS is shit

Poetry in motion...lol

This is from Mount Holly, but relates to our forum as well. As of now, a 40% chance of at least moderate impacts for many in our area.

All I'm going to say is...ugh. This is not going to be fun today.

Got a moderate, albeit very fine flake, snow going on here. Everything is coated/covered again, including the main roads.

I'll have plenty of warm weather later on. It doesn't stay cold for long here and it's obviously not as cold farther south. Should be upper 70s at least in Miami when I arrive on Wednesday.

Yeah, that's the good thing about living down south for a warmanista like me. A day or two of cold, and the warmth returns. As much as I dream of Florida or Arizona, if my wife were only open to moving to the Carolinas, I'd be happy.

Hey! I'm in Jacksonville today and will be road tripping the entire east coast over the next 2 weeks. It's a chilly 48 here currently with a freeze warning up the next 2 nights clear down to south of Orlando. No snow here but a crap ton of rain earlier. Front has passed, winds are out of the NW and really cranking. Wind chills tonight in the mid teens. Loving it!

 

No offense, but if I went to Florida and found myself in a major cold snap, I'd be pretty pissed...

Oh you are talking about snow 

Snow is the only action I see anymore... 

Got 2" from this morning's little event. Snow has stopped. Question is, do we see any action later on, or are we done for the day?

Snowing in Tamaqua with an eyeballed half inch already.

Round two underway... Looks like about a half inch already.

Well, I just now perused Pivotal Weather and the NAM, HRRR, and RAP surely are interesting for tomorrow.

In some cases a repeat performance of this morning.

They will most likely be updating that to include Harrisburg, Lebanon & @Voyager.

You think? I haven't looked at models, other than maps shown on social media since I was shoveling most of the day. Most do show snow of varying degrees of intensity and where the western edge is. CTP mentions snow in my forecast, but nothing as of yet about accumulations.

Very interesting.

Actually crazy. Going back to Wednesday, it looked like we weren't going to see much, if any, snow this weekend. I'm probably close to 4" and some places in the Lehigh Valley are pushing 6".  If that snow tomorrow morning verifies, some of us might see 6-8 plus by Monday morning.

Went out for a Dunkin run this morning. First photo 9:45am Center St (309) Tamaqua. Second photo backyard measurement 10:15am.

I didn't measure yet, but looks like about an inch and a half. Closing in on the low end with big fatties falling.

Echoes just started expanding over the area over the last 45 minutes. The returns overhead don't look bad but I don't have any snow hitting the ground yet where i'm at. 

Came downstairs for my third coffee, and we now have light/moderate snow.

It's interesting how our forecast went from nothing on Wednesday to up to one inch yesterday morning to 1-3 yesterday afternoon to now 2-4. 

Got a light dusting overnight, but it looks like a heavier burst is about to move in.

25/22 is the current temp/dew point.

Most of the guidance I've looked at has a 6-10ish type timeframe for the main swath.  Some show a separate batch breaking out ahead of the morning slug sometime during the overnight hours, but early morning seems the best bet for seeing accumulating flakes.

My NWS forecast did indicate the two separate periods of precipitation, so we'll see.

Taken from nws forecast discussion

Across southeast PA, the forecast is a bit more complicated.Marginal temperatures and less moisture content will limitsnowfall accumulations somewhat, but the latest batch of 06Zguidance paints the potential for as much as a couple inches ofsnow Saturday afternoon as upper level divergence providessufficient lift for an area of snow to develop. Low confidenceat this time, but the forecast may need to be adjusted upwardsin the next 24 hours if confidence increases.

My NWS forecast says up to an inch possible tomorrow.

I thought you were getting a prius. 

There's a video on YouTube of a guy running Hell's Revenge out in Moab, UT in a Prius. Why he did, I'll never know...

Thanks for getting us some snow   a new vehicle is a sure fire way of getting that done.

29 degrees so far it looks dry out, but really windy.

JNS that’s a nice project! 

My pleasure, I think.  

Ugh...where did this Saturday snow come from? I'm likely picking up a new vehicle on Saturday, (trading in the Jeep for a GMC Terrain) and am not exactly wanting it's maiden voyage to be on snowy or icy roads.

Sounds like the Debbie train is loaded n full steam ahead.  

Sometimes I'll jokingly post about it, but not to complain about it.
