Eskin updated his storm total from 6" to 7" this morning for Philly during his time slot. He bashed on air TV weather people and embellished KYW1060 because they are a sister station of WIP. No word from Bruce so apparently he's happy w/his 20"/blizzard prediction...

Euro has a secs day 9-10 lol

Think Ralph mentioned this yesterday?

Either way, one at a time...feeling pretty good about this current one though.

*Just took out the trash...15F, damn cold. 

Never really seen the models on a given night (all of them) just focus on one area like they did tonight. You really can't have more model confidence than that....one more day to go then game on.   

We pretty much swept the board.

Welcome to 1996...

Hey....30.7" sounds like a familiar snow total. Can't remember from where or when?

I posted about it in the NYC thread and too lazy to graphic illustrate it like birds. 

It stuck out like a sore thumb...it's hard not to notice. 

?????????...WTF?

Wasn't his first guess map posted 2 map changes ago?

That's what I thought? I guess it's an update on his guess with further guesses to come....

Oddly enough Ch10 going w/the same 6-9". First off 6-9" is not a normal range and Ch6 and Ch10 usually don't have the same exact amounts..kinda strange.

CBS3: 5+" Philly and local burbs

FOX29: 6-10" Philly and local burbs

When I say local burbs it's only up to mid Mont/Bucks county. (sharp cut off) Further out burbs 3-6"

If he’s such a weenie, he must know about this place. Wonder if it’s one of us? I bet it’s Greenskeeper!!

We'll never know. Greenskeeper is not allowed to speak/type. His job is to sling weenies as needed....he'll be busy for the next several days.

Eskin sticking with 4" ?

His pred was/is 6"....he'll nail it and gloat. King!

Anxiously awaiting Bruce’s call.

Been listening to WIP, sad to say no Bruce. Guess I'll have to go w/his 20"/blizzard until further notice...

Sounds like you want to be the family expert..  The actual forecast by Accu weather was 4+.  Two days before the storm starts up in your neck of the woods.  

Not a bad forecast for two days out.  I will be interested in their updated forecasts. Biggest private weather firm in the WORLD,  gotta be doing something right.

You should bond with your cousin.  At least he listens to you.

Accuweather (Ch6) is going with 6-9" for Philly and surrounding areas...

To declare its a blizzard you need rates of 2" per hour for at least 4 hours, I think there has to be at least 2hours of 2" per hour that are consecutive as well. To declare a warning I think it has to be in cards along with the wind requirement but i'm not positive about that.  

Check my post above you...that's from NWS

Just now, hazwoper said:

yu need sustained winds of over 35 mph for an extended period for bliz warning I believe.  Possible, but not likely

It could happen???

The National Weather Service defines a blizzard as a storm with large amounts of snow or blowing snow, winds greater than 35 mph (56 kph), and visibility of less than ¼ mile (0.4 km) for at least three hours.

Do we still have the winds with this? Haven't seen much talk about the gusts since yesterday. 

From the WSW posted for SE PA:

Winds could gust as high as 50 mph creating
significant blowing and drifting of snow.

Winter Storm Watch issued here for accumulations of over 7"

Same for SE PA....
