E PA/NJ/DE Winter 2025-26 Obs/Discussion

[LVblizzard]

Meteorological winter starts tomorrow so I think it’s time to start this thread. We have a storm threat for Tuesday that looks like rain/slop for I-95 but N&W areas could see something plowable. Some fantasy range threats on the GFS/Euro too that can hopefully become something as we get closer. Let’s get this party started!

So we are looking at a potential true Miller A type of storm for Tuesday with the L coming out of the gulf states and a cold air source to the North. When was the last time we saw type of setup? It’s been a while.

Could be looking at a nice 2-4in for many here in the mid Lehigh Valley area and a lovely excuse to work from home on Tuesday 

[Duca892]

Surprised it’s not a little more juiced in here. Know it’s not going to be a monster storm on Tuesday, but a general 2-3in for many early season is a great mood setter

I have a family funeral Tuesday so yeah I am planning on a 3-6" event which will be fun to walk through the cemetery in nice shoes.

Heads up, the snow burst down here in Baltimore was decent. Some folks west of I-95might get a quick dusting or coating out of thus before it flips.

We had 3 inches of snow with temps in the low teens the day of my father in law's funeral and burial. It was quite the interesting (and sad) day as he passed Christmas morning, then was buried just before New Years.

Sorry to hear about your loss. 
 

My grandmother’s funeral was during a snowstorm in 1987. I was a pole barer. They did their best clearing off the church steps. But all I could think about walking down them wearing dress shoes with no traction was slipping and dropping the casket…I’d never be invited to another family function again!

Light stuff falling but not a chance in hell it's going to stick. Still looks cool though... it's a start.
