Hi-res RGEM has 6” for much of Northampton County tonight. Would be pretty wild to see that model score a coup. Looks like other models are much more realistic with a C-2” north of I-78.

WAA sleet/graupel/snow junk missed me to the south. Tonight’s R/S line looks like it will stay to the north of Allentown. At least this is happening in November and not January when cold air will be more abundant.

The NBC broadcast showed snow falling. It was light and it was too warm for it to stick. But they still got snow.

Just had a snow shower with one of those lake effect streamers moving SE. First one of the season. No accumulation.

A lot of the hi-res models have lake effect streamers making their way across PA tomorrow evening. Some of us could get a localized snow squall that whitens the ground.

Saw a bit of a glow on the horizon through the camera lens earlier. That’s about it for tonight. From what I’m seeing tonight is underperforming compared to last night at lower latitudes. Plus I’m now shrouded in clouds here so no hope of seeing anything else.

Hearing on social media that tonight’s solar storm could be even more intense than last night. It looks like there will be some clouds around but nothing to significantly impede aurora viewing.

Vivid naked eye aurora visible 10 minutes ago in Allentown!

Clouds cleared a little and believe it or not there’s some naked eye aurora on the horizon! Nothing like last October (yet) but it’s out there!

Aurora visible tonight and it’s freaking cloudy. Ugh…

Looks like most models have something off the coast early next week. The GFS is the only one that gets it cold enough for accumulating snow. At the very least it’s nice to have something to track again.

Got 6” in Allentown from this storm. Power went out midday Saturday and stayed out till Tuesday evening. Even worse, schools were closed Monday so I couldn’t even go there to warm up as I was a senior in HS at the time. Loved the storm, hated the aftermath.

Sandy redux on the 12z Canadian late next week. Could be some interesting days of tracking ahead.

I was hanging out on my porch and was very surprised to see a lightning flash. Could be the last one we see all year as a fall/winter pattern looks like it will set in after this cold front passes.

Check out the end of the 0z Canadian. It has the ultra rare hurricane phasing into a cold airmass so much of the interior Northeast gets a very white, windy Halloween. Probably won’t happen but it’s fun to look at.
