Sounds like sun angle won't have much of an impact until after the fact

No doubt, this will stick. We're not in Mid-March+ sun angle territory yet...

I'm sorry  but if they are expecting  1-2"in a hour  to fall, they really need to update those areas to winter weather advisory. Don't understand why they are erring on the side of caution here... Going to be a lot of people complete caught of guard as is... 

I agree.

The radar really juiced up within the past hour...waiting for the thump.

31F

NWS 8:46am update...including Philly/Del so more south.

32F

Snowing in Lancaster, radar looks solid. Nice returns around the M/D line...

I thought I read somewhere that reed timmer (chaser) hinted this would be a late start for severe but also that there is a higher risk for more extreme/historic outbreaks?  

I have no idea how they could possibly predict this. Maybe some insight but certainly wouldn't take it too seriously. Much like winter outlooks which fail more times than not..

Only thing worse is reading you complain about for 5 months 

As long as we receive a good amount of T-storms/severe weather I'll keep myself in check...

Extended ens means show what the Feb pattern was 'supposed to be in a Nina heading into March. SER, 50/50 high, -PNA, TPV anchored over the N Pole. All signs point to an early spring for a change. That would be awesome! I like fishing for early April striped bass and weakfish in the 50s and 60s not the 30s and low 40s. 

I like all of that as well if it stays in the 50s or 60. I just don't want a early blow torch which last though Aug/Sept. Nothing worse than a looong Summer...

* Just noticed my income tax return was deposited into my bank account overnight. Today's storm could fail completely and I'll still be in a good mood...

Latest hrrr colder....95% snow now with 4" here. Probably mostly on old snow but a nice refresh. All guidance on board for 3-6" here now. I dont buy it. My bar is set at 2.5" 

28F

I'm just looking forward to a couple hours of snow at good rates and yeah this be last we see flakes for some time. Weekend looks wet w/temps near 50F...

Just now, Ralph Wiggum said:

27F here. Plenty cold. Should be a nice quick thump then we welcome spring?

Reading 31F

29F / DP 25F

Definitely thought I'd be colder at this time...

Same. Another piece of it is learning to let go of things you can't control. Sounds good on paper, but it is a real thing. 

You chill out w/age...or at least I did/do.

Sitting at 28F, thought I'd be a tad lower at this time.

Just now, KamuSnow said:

Oh yeah, that was a bad feeling. Still sucks but we're better at handling it now, lol. Aren't we? Mostly the rug pulls now are less of a surprise if you pay attention.

Yep, today we have more resources (internet etc) to track stuff so we can see a failure coming for the most part. Back then it was KYW...Herb Clarke, Jim O' Brien etc at certain times and that's it. They could F-up my day within a minute...

Just now, KamuSnow said:

 

I remember when I was very young doing a dance with my brothers outside trying to get the rain (which had been snow) to turn back into snow again.

When I was super young (7-9ish), listening to KYW before school and hearing Elliott Abrams say "going to stay south" or "out to sea", depression took hold and my day was completely screwed...

Lol, or what? Will you shake your fist at a cloud?

Weenies do funny things....I know I cussed out the weather Gods for screwing me over.

Just now, RedSky said:

Expectations set at 3" snow 10-2pm and I better see some thump

Same but more like 2" or so w/a thump and w/the same time line. Completely done by 3pm w/temps 36-37ish. Roads wet but I'll have to shovel a 1"+ of heavy slop from the pavements...

Accu weather held ground during their 11pm forecast....same as 6pm.

No I thought Wentz was done here. Part of that could have been the moves Roseman made, but Wentz wasn’t blameless. I don’t think we should give up on Hart yet.

I agree. Absolutely not! I don't think anyone is thinking that....never crossed my mind.

Fox29 jacked up the totals a bit for Philly/burbs. (10pm newscast)  

5 minutes ago, mattinpa said:

Hart this season has looked like all the average goalies we have had for many years. But I still think it is a confidence issue and he’ll be better. We tend too give up on athletes too early in Philly.

I agree sometimes but is this a Wentz reference? Because I really think he had to go...he wasn't getting along w/anyone and being replaced by Hurts freaked him out.

1 minute ago, mattinpa said:

Indeed. Sad to see him go. But that’s over now and at least Morey has shown the ability to get extra help before. If this is a championship or bust year as Morey said, I don’t think the Sixers are a championship team right now.

Anything less than a Eastern Finals appearance (probably vs Nets/Bucks)...total fail of a season. Even then, if they lose in the Eastern Finals....somewhat of a fail. Embiid and Simmons are in their prime...gotta get things going. And the West is pretty stacked even if they made it to the finals.

2 minutes ago, The Iceman said:

Didn't expect much with half the forwards out.

Yeah, I know. Played well through the first (tied 2-2) which gave me some hope...then things fell apart.

9 minutes ago, mattinpa said:

Sixers are a good team but need an extra push. Hopefully Morey is aggressive enough. They need a shot creator to help Embiid out and a better bench.

The Flyers can’t even beat Boston at full strength much less with half the team out.

If they could have kept Butler that would have been perfect...

I was never impressed w/this event but accu weather seems even less impressed than myself for Philly/majority of Mont/Bucks counties...move the accumulation line down SE a tad. Think mid-upper Mont/Bucks should be in the 1-2" range...Philly C-1". Doesn't take long to accumulate a 1" or so w/a beginning thump... 

Getting smoked by Bruins, this will be 0-5 for the season. Frustrating...

Lets do it! Quick refresh. Then the warmup. In fine calling it a season after this

You  really can't think this is true...correct?

I'm at 36F now...probably hit 37-38F+...sun blazing.

Clouds move in tonight earlier than expected....holds temps higher than predicted.

When snow falls mid/late morning tomorrow temps at/near+ 32F w/the sun rays kicking.

Nothing (or for a short time somewhat sticks)...then melts and any precip may turn to rain...high 36-38F+....sloppy 1-2" or so IMO at best.

It just has that end of winter/early spring look...
