I've lived here my whole life, I understand that but posting weenie snow maps out 800000 hours is as bad as the nonsense that goes on in the NE forum

I'd rather have The activity they have then 2,3 posts a week here during slow times. that storm was at day 7 not exactly that far out. The entire purpose of this forum is to discuss weather, not wait until a storm is on the doorstep to start talking about it.

I actually wouldn't mind a late season snow storm this year.  Most years by mid-March I'm checked out and ready to turn the corner to spring.  But we've had so few events this year I'l keep hope alive through March.  

 

How about a spring version of October 2006....

I say bring on spring. Was a bit intrigued I kept hearing the "weather guy" on Time Warner News Channel talking about a pattern change and winter like weather for St Pattys weekend and I was a bit puzzled... I guess it was there but seems a bit removed now... Think it's time to pack it in for about 8 months! Enjoy the sun! Hopefully!

12z GFS takes the Sunday storm further east, probably pounding SNE...which makes perfect sense. It's probably the last call for alcohol for this forum so we shall see how trends evolve. Regardless of eventual track, the system looks to develop late enough to have highest impact northeast of here (thinking Maine and Maritimes)

Anyone have any info on the recent SSW event that is occurring or occurred?

Pretty big signal for a late-season snowstorm somewhere in the northeast on Sun/Mon.  Not sure who really wants it at this point, but should be interesting to track.  Of course, if seasonal trend holds we'll be talking about a Chicago Southern New England snowstorm by mid-week...

Decent chance for some elevated convection tomorrow especially somewhere between BUF-SYR. Although the surface is poor, MUCAPE approaches 500-1000J/kg ahead of the frontal passage during the afternoon. Maybe some small hail too? 

 

Can't wait for nighttime thunderstorms, it's almost better than thundersnow. ^_^

Yeah, it waited until Mid March to happen, if it happened when it was supposed to in January we would of had an epic Feb, which I honestly thought would happen.

Some pretty impressive cloud to ground lightning with these cells and the ones that rolled through a bit earlier.  Has been interesting watching from my office in Lancaster.  Lightning strikes really close, but not a drop of rain...
