MAG5035 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Wow, this might have been the snowiest GFS run of them all right at game time. Both that and the 3k NAM have 3' at IPT (via Kuchera). Huge difference in the York/LNS realm though. That's going to be something to watch today which model wins with the thermals. Heck the 3k NAM got sleet all the way to KAOO on a huge surge of >0ºC 850mb temps, that's probably not going to happen. York and Lancaster probably aren't quite going to get to 20+ either as there should be some mixing. Given already solid establishment of cold air at 925mb and below via the Canadian high, I still feel most mixing is going to be in the form of sleet north of the mason-dixon. Here's the latest HRRR, which probably represents accums in the LSV a bit better currently with limited erosion of the accumulations in far southern York and Lancaster . Still snowing at 18hr in pretty much the whole eastern half of PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Just your average 18" difference between the GFS and NAM with the storm underway... I'd gladly take the HRRR and it's depiction and be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at the GFS now and my god, this has to be one of the snowiest runs I've seen in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if that temp delta is true for Port Deposit and Wilmington, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is good. I'm watching the sleet line on radar...it's JUST south of the Potomac right now. More than anything else including ground temps, I'll be watching that line advance north this afternoon.

yard-stick Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hello All...just joined the site and looking forward to an exciting winter season! I'm in the mountains just southwest of Hazleton @ 1800' on the Luzerne/Schuylkill border. Snowing steady now and roads are already snow covered.

I wouldn't expect the mixing threat to materialize until the offshore low really picks up steam, so not sure that's a valid reference point (unless it differs significantly from model guidance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
