With the Euro's latest run, the models have been terrible in the MR the last few days. The Euro is now spinning up a low closer to Bermuda than our locale.
Being a Nam fan, I do not buy into the out of range argument. The euro or gfs at 84 makes lots of errors as well. The nam is only out of range when it shows bad news. Lol
Yea, I figured you had someone lined up but sounded like they were worried about snow. Some will go no matter how much snow. Just have to worry about a "new person". I will drive over there vs. let your cat die.
Since it is your house I am unsure of your comfort level, but there are hundreds of pet sitters around Harrisburg of which some are animals lovers and will do anything and everything to get to your house....or even stay there several days.
The GFS joins the suppression/strung out look for mid week. Voyager, PAweather and Marysville are ground 0 with Warning level snows. (Edit-Another impulse comes by and everyone is warning level) Drawn out over a long period though.
Plus its been in the 50's several days over the last two weeks. Much more so here than in the central LSV. So I see that part of it but still thought it would have stopped growing after the freezes.
