    3k and 12k are still world's apart with southern totals.  Again, how much white rain falls?  Elevation, as always, will help tremendously. 

    Its all about rates with that deformation band.  If it is puking 2 to 3 inch per hour, it is going to accumulate and fast.

  2. Long range HRRR snow.  Note is still snowing for most at this point.  In the LSV, if you are south of the turnpike its a battle most of the night.  North and west of I-81 and north of Route 78 turn over to snow most quickly

    I’ve seen it many times. Harrisburg has been snowing for 2 to 3 hours while we are raining waiting for the first flakes.

  3. And I am old enough to see the Association come full circle.
    I grew up watching both the NBA and the ABA. The ABA was noteworthy for 2 things...they used a red, white and blue ball, and there was no defense. When the ABA merged with the NBA in the 1970s, coming into the Association was a whole bunch of high flying scorers. Julius Erving was one of the most famous. After that, scoring gradually started to come down to where teams would average right around 100 points. Then the late 80s and especially the 90s featured the bad boy Detroit Pistons and a whole new, physical style of play along with it. They had success and other teams followed. Suddenly games were ending 86-78 and the like.
    Today's game leaves me feeling very conflicted. While I can appreciate the level of athleticism, the game has evolved into shootouts. Guys driving to the cup for an easy layup but instead firing the rock out to the perimeter for yet another 3. Defense is not emphasized until the 4th quarter. It's entertaining for a lot...the one thing that it isn't is "pure" basketball. And it's one of many reasons why I'm a former season ticket holder and have no plans on attending a single game this season.
    That's my perspective as a 50+ year fan of the game. My 28 year old son can't get enough of it, so there's definitely an appeal to some.

    My 14 y/o loves it.

    I grew up a Knicks fan watching Charles Oakley and Patrick Ewing. Definitely a different style of basketball.
