  1. This better not be another Lucy. Seems like far E PA might be catching a rare late break headed into this storm. This time a day and a half ago I was barely expecting a coating from the PRE or whatever we r calling it starting in the AM with the Saturday coastal just grazing. Now things are getting interesting. Iceman might be in for a surprise?
  2. Needles at these temps. We aren't talking mangled flakes and plates. https://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/class/class-old.htm
  3. Some of you guys aren't familiar with how a coastal works and it shows. The coastal points see the gale winds...and higher elevations in E PA. But these are 10m winds during the height of the snowfall here in SE PA. 17knots max near my area? We get out best winds when the damage is done and the snow has mostly moved out: Winds won't knock down the totals as much as 20 degree temps will fluff up the accums in the Del Valley.
  4. 5-10" Philly...probably.closer to the lower end but giving some wiggle room for another bump west.
  5. I dont like Kucera but they may be closer to reality this time around due to the high ratios in E PA
  6. Should be 15-18:1 Action News actually suggested 20:1 ratios. They said colder n and west in upper teens so even if lighter precip will pile up fast.
  7. I thought the low was consistent in placement. Biggest diff is it bombs very early on.
  8. So all of the models are basically wrong and the low should be closer to the coast because of convective feedback issues. K, got it...thanks for the hot take y'all
  9. And gefs....and geps....and eps caving. Pattern flip kicked like a can.
  10. If you get a chance and haven't tried lemon plums, they usually show up for about 2 weeks in grocery stores this time of year. Treat yourself if u are lucky enough to find them. They don't taste like lemons nor plums. Well, maybe a little plum. But reminds me of candy....a not as sugary cotton candy treat. Good stuff!!!
  11. Rather it be S and E with the H5 look depicted than a cutter for sure. Repeat of Jan 3....again? Shore points jackpot?
  12. Nope. Actually this look has improved. The midweek system is warmish and the sacrificial lamb that resets the pattern moving forward. King GFS is honking:
  13. Baked cauliflower au gratin, yes. By itself hard pass. Made a nice cauliflower cashew soup once or twice that was tasty.
  14. Pineapple, Peach, Pear, Cantaloupe, Blueberry, Plum, Cherry, Apple, Orange
  15. Do you have the base link for that site so I can loop the forecast?
  16. Ha! Thanks @Ji wrong thread I posted in. We need the rgem to 240 tho....great suggestion!
  17. Big pattern flip in early Feb kicked...again. Ens means depicting big PNA and EPO ridges with CPF holding tight and TPV anchored near Baffin Bay. Keep that general look with the AO hovering around neutral to slight negative and we will continue tracking.
  18. HRRR says up to 2" from the PRE starting around 7am Friday and says that's it for the entire storm. Even shore points are just grazed by the coastal. Entire look of this system is changing every 12 hrs. So now we r relying on pre for accumulations AND beginning Friday AM now...not overnight Friday....interesting. Have a feeling there will be more surprises/changes with this one.
  19. Looks like Hurricane Floyd tbh similar location and pre depiction.
