I see there are winter storm warnings in Maryland. But as usual they stop at the border of CTP.

Maybe i'm old school, but I like watching local weather on tv, for their perspective on weather events. And the carpet and tile guys is my go to.

I think your right on that. I read a post that said it was them.

I have a feeling someone in the burg is going to experience flash flooding without having a cloud in the sky or an echo on the radar.

Most of these local TV mets. know the area that they work in. They know the climatology of the area there forecasting for. Most have been on a certain tv station for many years. IMO this is a bad move by the media giants that own these stations.

I am look forward to your accumulation map.

This should be concerning to all of us in Pa. and the rest of the country especially in severe weather situations. We might ridicule them at times, but when they break in a program to inform us of a tornado on the ground or flood warning that there is a needed to inform us all of a life or death situation. The reason for getting rid of tv station meteorologists is to save money. Just an FYI. The local media landscape is changing drastically and will continue to do so in the coming years. Many layoffs are to come, as smaller stations close down and local news becomes centralized to fewer locations. -Matthew

And lets not forget the all important DT start times too!

DT first call after 11pm.

I'm right on the border of th screw zone.

At least most of us got a Winter Storm Watch.

I'm presuming if we get a good snow accumulation, will we need to be concerned about drifting?

When do you think we will get a consensus on the final track and amounts, would it be tomorrow afternoon some time? Probably it will change several more times till Sunday. Hopefully it's not a big letdown in the end.

Even DT's first guess map shows more than a brooming for you.

I'm sure the NWS will crush that theory... as they always do.

Is Marysville in a drought? Hard to tell on the map viewing from a phone. Asking for a friend

My low was 9.7

My NWS forecast for Sunday and Sunday night has no mention of snow. Sunday Mostly cloudy, with a high near 32. Sunday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 12. M.L.King Day Mostly sunny, with a high near 18.

And January is half over already, and still no big storm for most of us this winter.

That's almost 10 degree difference.

My coal usage so far this month is 8.33% higher than compared to the same time period of January 2024. It has been a cold month so far.

Low was 14
