    Lots of folks with out power in Eastern Ohio and Pittsburgh it’s coming 

    I was just going to check to the west online to see what was happening but you did my work...cool.

    Dark, chilly, drizzly and I'm a tad bored. We need these winds to kick up to get some action going! Uprooted/down trees and branches, power outages...the whole 9 yards.

    High Wind Warning now in effect here from this afternoon thru tomorrow afternoon for gusts up to 60 mph. Looks like the stronger winds could come in 2 bursts, as the cold front passes through early this evening with gusts up to 55 mph then winds may slack off slightly but remain very strong overnight gusting to 45 mph then ramp back up Monday morning with gusts to 60 mph.

    Flakes will be here by 10-1030 but I dont think we start seeing accums until 1130 or later here anyway and it will be light until early afternoon then a few bursts of heavier prior to flipping over.

    Flakes are a start..that's all I need right now. At least I know virga is eroding.

    Approx flip over time?

    We will be waiting a while. Most mesos showed this virga very well in fact. This is why you cant just just look at a snow map and celebrate. You need to look at the surface reflection then compare to accumulated precip map then look at a skew-t and soundings for the same panel. While most models show it 'snowing' with pretty blues over us at the surface there is nothing accumulating precip-wise until well after 10AM for most of SE PA. Has been this same look for days which is partly why I havent been seeing what others were seeing regarding this system. Most guidance now has continued to speed up the flip to sleet and rain and overall are in line for a general inch or two of snow most of SE PA before the flip. Really quite unimpressive even moreso than last week imho. If someone can get under banding in SE PA for a bit may e they can get a quick 3-4" thump but again mesos actually show the lift at 700mb blowing NE  then drying put rapidly behind this first push of WAA. Thi is also the reason for the surge if mid level warmth and faster flip for SE PA. Good luck all. Looking at an inch or 2 of snow still for Warminster out of this. 

    Disappointing, thanks for the info.

    This is a double crappy whammy. First, long duration of virga then when it starts to snow, quicker than expected turnover. That's torture...

    It's a rough hobby they are tenaciously following this and there has been some melting down in there even from veteran posters recently which is hard to fathom they are near normal for their winter snowfall.  

    Yeah, I've read some doomsday post...end of the world, it moved N.

    For them I think they are doing well overall. They usually get completely shafted with every event...at least this year there's actual tracking with snow amounts.
