JB said last night he has no changes on this hitting us. But he also said he might have to abandon his idea also. But right now this idea of a storm here, looks like burnt toast

BUT that is 1 **possible** outcome. The question is HOW does the Euro model do this ?? First It should be pointed out that other models are showing SIMILAR OVERALL solutions in various degrees. /2 1 ‪DT-WxRisk‬ ‪@wxrisk.bsky.social‬ · 5h Not surprisingly most of the GFS and GFS AI model runs have the MASSIVE Intense LOW somewhat further east (Typical behavior with th GFS mode and BIG East Coast LOWs) This image shows how this massive storm COULD develop in to bring about such an extreme snowstorm in the this weekend. /3 1 ‪DT-WxRisk‬ ‪@wxrisk.bsky.social‬ · 5h The first map shows a major s/w ( shortwave) running W-E from Iowa to the Great Lakes on Friday. This feature develops a closed 500 low that rapidly rotates as it heads SE. It swings around in SW- NE alignment, then a N to S, then NW-SE ( negative Tilt) alignment. /4 SEE IMAGE 2 1 ‪DT-WxRisk‬ ‪@wxrisk.bsky.social‬ · 5h The 500mb Low develops a negative Tilt ( NW-SE) and " captures" the surface LOW off SC and pulls it NW. The surface LOW reaches max size /intensity FEB 1 when the 500mb LOW the surface LOW become vertically stacked off of DEL / 5 1 ‪DT-WxRisk‬ ‪@wxrisk.bsky.social‬ · 5h Note on MAP C the 500 LOW tracks across NC then turns NE off the NJ coast and captures the surface Low. THAT IS THE KEY- any variation causes a big change with how the LOW develops & which part of the coast gets hit. The 18z Monday Euro; note the 500 LOW is in SC - NOT NC /6 1 ‪DT-WxRisk‬ ‪@wxrisk.bsky.social‬ · 5h This would allow the surface LOW to the captured further to the east which would mean the big cities of I-95 from Boston to DC wouldn't miss out on the best snows while eastern VA / eastern NC and Cape Cod would get blasted. /7 See 18Z op EURO 1 ‪DT-WxRisk‬ ‪@wxrisk.bsky.social‬ · 5h 18Z EURO ensemble has significant cluster of LOWS further West /8

I'll say it again and again, I had enough of this wind.

Now with this sleet on top of the snow will it drift when winds pick up tomorrow? I seen wet snow drift after the winds dried it out.

That sleet on top of that snow made it heavy to shovel.

Same here as well!

Mostly snow here with some sleet. Almost 9" accumulation so far today.

6.75" snow so far.

NWS State college is live now on Facebook.

Hopefully the sleet stays away.

I think on Facebook, thats where I got the post.

US National Weather Service State College PA's We plan to go live at 9 AM to provide a brief update on today's significant winter storm. Check back here at 9 if you're interested!

I'm wondering just how far north the sleet will make it in The Susquehanna Valley?

We need this for the drought

My dp is -0.6

We're probably less than 12 hours from the onset of our first major snowstorm in years. I hope you all enjoy no matter the outcome

Bernie Rayno said this morning that he thinks the sleet will have a tough time making inroads on these negative dewpoints. But he said he's been wrong and right before on similar situations. That's his personal opinion.

Nws introduced snow possibly mixed with sleet tomorrow in my forecast for tomorrow evening from 6to10pm

That sucks you have to deal with that summer heat and humidity. Come back home to reality where it's 14 here.

Sometimes the GFS gets lost. Remember just a few days ago where it has the storm. I guess we'll see if the models come around.

2.5 was my low.

This is gonna be brutal. After years of relative so called mild winters, this is gonna sting.

It's been a while since we had a deep snowcover and 30mph winds to deal with. Rural areas like where I live will not be on a priority list of being kept clear. As crews will be focused on main arteries.

From what I seen it looks like blowing and drifting will be a concern after 8am on Monday into Tuesday morning with 30 mph gusts.
