That resembles (but is still less) than WPC's updated map, which took a big step back with their latest update.

I’ll go on a limb MDT doesn’t get .75” for this upcoming event. More like .4-5”.

30 this morning with fog and frost.

31 this morning here. How many times over the past year or so have you beaten me by one degree??? 

[Mount Joy Snowman]

Home from the Poconos. Looks like my low last night was 36. Also never reported my final tally from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, which was .47”.

You live in town, I live in the boonies...so you technically should be a little warmer.

Haha! I thought the same thing, but in this case he might be right.

One of my most useful methodologies i've developed here at the forum is to blend the Canderson Forecasting System with the Blizcon. This seems to always produce extremely accurate and reliable forecasts for me.

Trends are not our friend if you want good, heavy rain here.

You're right. If Tamaqua were big time, I'd be in the inner city.

I am amazed at the variation in model rainfall outputs for this storm. By Monday at noon the range is 0.1" to 2.0". Further they each have the storm doing something different and run to run consistency is horrible. I hope this is not a preview of how the models will be this winter.

It surely will be, and we will all handle it like mature adults haha.

Current model predictions for Harrisburg
Gfs .4" has over 1" just east
Gfs AI .8"
Euro .7"
Euro AI .2"
Gdps .2
Ukmet .1
Nam 2.0"

Each of these models somehow are also all on their own little islands with the evolution of this storm and rain distribution. Each one wants to setup a secondary max somewhere in central to north central Pennsylvania with a nice big moat in between. Thank God this cluster f**** of a storm isn't a snow storm because it seems blending and averging precipitation amounts has a high chance of busting both high and low in many areas and good luck figuring that out before tomorrow

Sunny and 70 here in Pittsburgh. Perfect fall day.

How undisciplined can a team be?

[Jonesy56]

In terms of hype going in vs. ground truth, this Penn St. squad is analogous to the March 2001 “storm of the century”. Yeesh.

PSU way over rated.

[Superstorm]

Think the portal showing teams like PSU can’t stockpile players anymore. Actually bringing more balance to college football.

Thanks. No idea what’s going on with Penn State but they have to make a change. Not sure how they can afford it but private equity can private equity.

Not sure about this Tempest weather station. I guess drizzle drops aren't heavy enough to register on the hepatic rain gauge. It's been drizzling for over 4 hours here, and it hasn't even measured 1/100 of an inch. 

I might have to replace it at some point (maybe New Year) with a traditional weather station. Especially since I already know it won't register snow flakes.

At least with a traditional tipping bucket, once the snow melts, it measures the liquid equivalent.

Drizzle is so light it’s just a trace so I wouldn’t worry about it not registering more
