What I could never understand was Santa was tired and wanted to take Christmas off. HE WORKS ONE FRIGGIN’ DAY A YEAR!!

NAM still not interested in tomorrow’s event for the Philly area.

The HRRR hits us with the first slug of moisture around 8am, so it’s icy. NAM says that first round misses the Philly area to the north and we don’t see anything until 3pm when it’s just rain. Place your bets.

And that’s how the Hoochie Mama blizzard of ‘22 got it’s name.

You better be right, Mike. Otherwise the LV guy is going to come looking for you in 2048 demanding answers

Dude, the only one being classless is you. ALL forecasts and forecasters had the storm heading OTS until the last minute. Why you've decided to fixate on a single forecaster is what's classless. I guess John Bolaris should be given the Congressional Medal of Honor for breaking into network programming in March 2001 to hype a 3-foot snowstorm that never materialized. I hope you become a great forecaster, I really do. Because it would suck if you ever issue an incorrect one and some interweb weenie trolls you over it a quarter century after the fact demanding answers.

Howard’s always liked himself some Howard. I don’t remember an ice storm two days after the ‘93 super storm. Doesn’t mean it didn’t happened, just that I have no recollection of it.

WWA’s up for SE PA.

And you sir have been Greenskeepered as well.

Yes, AccuWx. Don’t remember who, just know it wasn’t Elliot cause he did the weekday hits.

Yes. I now get insulted if I don’t get a weenie…as if my post wasn’t worthy

Hell, even KYW was only calling for 1-3" that Saturday morning.

As I recall, it was the classic miss-to-the-south by the models. It was only late that Friday/Saturday morning that the NW shift began. Even then, it was king of slow. First DC could get in on it, then us, then NYC, etc. So I imagine the interview took place when the models were still showing the OTS solution. And YES! Who can pass up carpet at those prices?? THEY'RE INSANE

Yes, as recently as last week I was thinking about sending the towel to the dry cleaners to have it ready just in case. We'll see how the pattern plays out, but I was thinking it seems like this is a La Nina that's running a month behind schedule. For instance, Nina Decembers tend to be cold with snow chances. Then the pattern breaks around New Years and January is a ratter. But this year -- mild Dec, potentially cold Jan, then hints of a ratter Feb. We'll know soon enough.

12z NAM looking icy Sunday am. Maybe responding to snow cover?

I haven’t been out yet, just eyeballing it from the house I’d say 2.5-3”. Still remember my grade school snow number…454

Light snow/flurries here too, no accumulation yet but the Festival Miracle has been surpassed. 29F/DP 26

Wiggum started it

After seeing the 12z runs, looks like 2" would be the high end imby. Still, a dusting from the Middle Finger Storm beats the 18 snow pellets in my flowerbed from the Festivus Miracle.

RGEM had that same middle finger at 6z, let's see if 12z follows. Anyway, my street has been brined. Exciting times!

My bar is set at 1-2”, so if that Mt Holly map comes close to verifying , I’ll be more than happy.

When it's over, we'll get t-shirts that read, "I Survived Car-Topper '22!". Winds starting to howl here, 45F.

Yeah, two nights in a row I dipped below freezing…brutal winter here We’re now inside 48hrs, so I’ll start paying more attention. A 1-3” would obliterate my Festivus totals.

I'm losing interest in this winter faster than I lost interest in the Flyers' season.

Unfortunately this is nothing new. Seems for a while now (regardless of the season) the models show an EC storm in the long to medium range only to settle on something like a frontal passage as we move up in time. That's why I said yesterday, get this inside 48 hours, then I'll worry about the deets. I suppose there's still time to trend more favorably for us. But even so, probably little more than an advisory level event.
