    That is my worry (rain) and the GFS/CMC showing more of the same next week.    The GFS does end it as snow. 

    I'm beginning to think that it's not going to be cold and snowy until I return to PA. The same thing happened from 96-01 when I was out here. Snow was quite scarce back there during those years. I came back and all hell broke loose in 02-03.

    While I'm one of a few SE'rs in the group, geographically speaking regarding Chescos involvment in our convo, he is 28 miles from my door.  KPit is 242 miles from same door.

    For the record, weather/forecasts for his area are often the same as many in our SE portion of the LSV'rs, so I'll look at his info any day as it aligns w/ quite a few of us climatologically.  

    I've no problem when ANYONE comes in to chat it up w/ us....dont care where you reside....BUT if your coming to troll, thats a problem...... no matter where you reside. 

     

    Hope y'all don't mind me here. I'm 2,300 miles away, but I've been a contributor for years, and will likely return once my commitment to my mom ends.

    I'm not a troll, but I do like funnin with you guys sometimes with my warmanista tendencies... ;)

    One other thing no one, me included, has mentioned. Neither Canadian model nor the Ukie have had anything more than snow tv. I mean nothing outside of 1500'+. So if they win, we'll know better if there is a next time before the end of the world occurs when Taylor Swift dumps Kelce.

    Rumor has it that she wanted me, since she grew up in Reading which isn't far from Tamaqua. She gave up when I moved to Arizona, so she settled for Travis...

    Tell the truth...you miss that.

    I agree that I miss "the chase" as in tracking an event until it verifies (or not).

    I don't miss the aftermath of digging out, cleaning cars, driving a semi in the snow, freezing my ass off, etc.

    Tracking from afar, without having to actually deal with work and stress of the storms outcome, is nice.

    Well, my post was based on what modeling is consistently spitting out imby. Absolutely agree this is a classic elevation favored event, but modeling has me at 32-33 during snowfall. At night, that's cold enough for periods of 10:1 accumulations provided dendrite growth is cooperating up above. But as I said, I  was never one to be concerned about the NWS forecasts. When I  lived in MD for the first 61 years of my life, LWX almost always played catchup when it came to snow, so I  lost interest in their forecasts. 

    Oh yeah, I get it. Wasn't calling you out. As for the NWS playing catch up, CTP is/was the same way. They've almost always played conservative with totals up almost to game time.

    If modeling holds thru the 12z suite, I'm sure they'll update me, not that I  rely on NWS forecasts at all.

    We'll see I guess. The higher totals may verify up north of Tamaqua (Hometown and beyond) due to the higher elevation than the borough proper. Many times, we get little if any accumulation, then a mile north on 309 and up the hill in Hometown, there's a slushy inch or two. Then after you climb up to McAdoo and Hazleton, you get into more serious accumulations.

    It can be a totally different world up there in a marginal situation. It'll be 28-30 degrees and snowing like a bastard up there, and 35 with mixed precip in Tamaqua.
