Excellent! You and @nj2va have several hundred feet on me but it's close for mby. Thanks for the update! DP is 'up' to -5.9 so we're getting there. Ice box cold at 6.4.

Still bone dry here in MLP 6.4 / -6.7. Like a few others in these parts, we're hugging the HRRR and the show can start any time.

After a morning low of -5, I've warmed up to 7. My guess is when the snow starts, at least the mulch will cave.

Stage is set! Arctic air - check. Sitting at -4.7

I'm hoping you're expertise is spot on because I think I'm going to flip for a while as the primary knocks on my door (I'm in Oakland, MD, west of the Allegheny Front). This is my 4th winter and the first time people have panicked shopped - the Oakland Wal-Mart is sold out of quite a bit of fresh/frozen foods. We get 10-11 inch snowfalls (what the NWS has as our forecast) on a fairly regular basis so I guess the hype is simply contagious. Other than the hype, for us, this storm is honestly nbd.

And there is a lot of it! Hi this morning was 28 and it's now 11 imby (was 18 around 5:30).

@nj2va wonder how much upslope we'll receive after the storm passes north of our latitude? Unfortunately Erie is almost completely frozen over now (went from less than 10% a week ago to about 90% now, a record for the rapid onset of ice). OTOH, it's very new ice, so it'll be thin and allow some moisture to get through.

This place is going to short circuit.

Made it below zero, albeit barely (-0.8). First of the season and fortunately, not the last it doesn't look like.

I took the Acela every week for nearly 4 years. It's not Japan-esque but it sure as hell beats driving up/down 95. New ones are pretty slick too.

I hope we all get a Blue Bird day soon. After a busy weekend at Wisp, calm has returned. Pic is this afternoon on the backside of the mountain. Temp this afternoon is in the low teens.

If we totally decoupled, it would have been colder but winds stayed ~3-7 mph most of the night. Low was 0.7. Almost made it below zero for the first time this season.

I've received about 9" in the last week with a nice snow shower this morning. Breezy with temps in the upper teens. Whitened everything up for that deep winter feel. I allllmost left for New York this morning to chase what promises to be a very intense LES band but decided to stay local. I hope this weekend's storm comes to some sort of fruition as a consolation prize.

Andy said the slopes are in excellent shape. A little fresh powder last night also helps to freshen everything up. Have a super fun day out there!

Pretty scene this morning at Swallow Falls State Park
