This is not fully decided yet. There are still over 24 hours to go before the event begins and we are still in the game. It won’t take much to get the early week event back to a 3 inch plus s ow event for many of us.

Yeah I know, gosh GFS trended north and now the NAM south maybe we are the jackpot.

Don’t worry everyone...if the 2 events fizzle out this week, the models have begun to focus on another Miller B type of event next Sunday or Monday.

This blocking pattern has to payoff at some point right!?!?

Here is the 12z Euro for the potential event next Early next week.

As long as that hits on Monday and not Sunday, I'm ok with it. Like I said, I'm likely to have a Sunday flight out of Scranton or Allentown for job orientation. I don't want it to get screwed up. Besides, I'll be in Houston for a couple of days, so it can rip once I'm up in the air. Just have to worry about where the connecting flight is out of.

If after 2 years of our winter weather you need to be concerned I would rather you be positive,

If you were out of work for 10 months and didn't have any income for 8 of them and you were heading off for a job that wasn't easy to come by, you might understand where I'm coming from. And I'm not wishing the snow away, I just want it delayed, not denied.

Thanks. 

I didn't know you were in the same situation. For that I apologize. As for the board, yes it's about weather, but many of us share our personal stories as well. I see it as a group of like minded friends. We gather because we have the same interests, but the discussions veer off in other directions as well sometimes.

I just checked Williamsport on weather.gov.  Now they are mentioning freezing drizzle for Tuesday for the first time.  Nobody wants that. 

Tuesday
Snow likely before 9am, then areas of freezing drizzle. Cloudy, with a high near 32. East wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

Here is part of the CTP forecast discussion this morning :

“Low pressure will lift out of the Mississippi Valley and gradually weaken as it moves up the Ohio River Valley. Model consensus is to advect the leading edge of a relatively large area of light to moderate wintry precip northeast across the state this afternoon and early tonight. Sub-Zero C wet bulb temps will occur through a deep enough layer this afternoon through early tonight to support a few to several hour period of snow and accums generally around 1.5-2 inches followed by a several hour period of sleet in most places late tonight and early Tuesday. This will be a widespread, moderate impact weather evening with a layering of a few inches of snow, topped by a thin layer of sleet and freezing rain.”
