Hopefully it's wrong. Don't need that extra weight in the pack. I'm a one man shoveling show since my wife is handicapped, my mother in-law is elderly, and my father in-law is passed. I have two properties to clear, and three cars.

Just looked at my forecast. CTP has sleet mixing possible Sunday afternoon, and even included freezing rain/sleet combo mix for Sunday night. I thought I was safe up here...

Oops. My bad.

Cutting back on totals I see?

Yup. Right or wrong, we're getting to the time where I pay more attention to the mesos over the globals.

Good question. Maybe they're a bit unsure of when accumulating snow ends. If they took that map to 1am, it would probably be 4-6 inches higher.

To answer my question, I just had to wait until this morning's update. Thy added in Sunday overnight accumulations, which gives me a range of 12-22 inches. Still mum on Monday's possible accumulations if it snows late into the morning. Saturday Night Snow likely after 1am. Cloudy, with a low around 8. Calm wind. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Sunday Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 18. East wind 5 to 7 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 8 to 12 inches possible. Sunday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 15. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible. Monday A chance of snow before 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 22. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

So this is what I have for a forecast. Question is, how much more Sunday night and Monday morning? They only show 8-14 through Sunday late afternoon/evening. Saturday Night Snow, mainly after 1am. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 8. Calm wind. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Sunday Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 17. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 7 to 11 inches possible. Sunday Night Snow. Low around 13. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Monday A chance of snow before 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 22. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

Yikes. Too close for comfort for me. Wow... What did Aerosmith say, Livin' on the Edge...

I'm not sure I want a trend so much as for it to hold serve just as it is. Everyone gets close to, or even above 20" as depicted. I'd kind of hate to lose what I (or we) have gained the past few runs.

I'm guessing taint makes it to the Blue Mountain on that run? I'm at work so I can't really dig into the models on my phone.

With my schedule, I can't shop until Saturday. It'll probably be a madhouse with the usual items sold out.

Region-wide 20+ inches on the 6z GFS...

Just looked at radar. Looks like it's going snow soon here. I wasn't expecting that...

Usually you are colder than me. Today's a bit different. Crazy cold at our shop, though. Got down to -10 there.

My temp seems to be rebounding a bit from what appears to be a -3.8 morning low.

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.

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.

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.

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