I don't think the end of next week looks that bad. Once we get through the weekend hopefully a good thump, then warms again for a bit but think we will still have multiple chances coming up. Of course we could lose all of them and have no wins but let's see. I'll be out of the country March 12 to the 21 so book it now my major snowstorm. LOL.
GEEZ! Cashtown makes everything now even the AFD's:
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Steady snow has ended and Advisories lowered. An additional
coating may be seen in some areas as bands of lighter snow
showers traverse central PA ahead of upper trof. System was very
consistent with 2 to 4 inch amounts common, and a 5 inch report
at Cashtown.
We had snow in May last year. LOL. Yes, Met winter isn't over and either is my 24-30" with lollipops of 36" storm so winter to me is still in play through March, April, and May.
It has been the Pacific train and the fact that Canada did not let us down. High Pressure after High Pressure to our north and the Pacific has come together well this winter without the true artic blast.
12z EURO not going to cut it for the weekend. H to the north moving off the east coast also a L in the Northern Plains going to Canada. Doesn't look like a very good setup at least with this run but many more to go.
I do like Joe always have liked him, the only thing I didn't care about him was he is an Eagles fan. Now that Matt Moore is out of the picture I don't know who else I would follow if watching local.
I don't watch local news any longer but I can tell you in the past most relied on the GFS for their forecast. WGAL was pretty much the EURO/GFS combination. But many don't use the short range models at all or the CMC to flush out the pattern of what is going to happen. This is probably a perfect case for it. Luckily it is above 32 in most locations now at least around here. If this was a colder pattern the most impacted would have been the schools. But roads should be fine for the buses I would think unless along the high terrain.
