Several nice bands drifting in from the west

Snow Squall warnings all over. Ive been stuck in-between two with the sun peaking out, hope the pivot or fill in.

That sucks. So frustrating. Sun just popped out here. Picked up about 1/3 inch. Looks like 1 more quick band for me then done it would appear.

UKMET is a hit 

Might be one of those cases that if we want a foot that the Midatlantic will need 2 feet.

One last post before i actually go and be productive. This is from MAG from the Central forum

Regardless, I’m not anywhere near sweating the too far south/north solutions. But this energy has to all come out and not have a portion of it left behind like what the GFS has been trying to do. I think as long as that happens I like our chances.

My brother lives in Northern Delaware so I always root for him.

A foot would take us to around 40in  for the winter. There is another bomb showing end of month.

AIEuro would be nice hit.  .9 liquid depending on ratios 9-18 in, then it's showing another bomb around 28th. So 3 windows ahead, 24th-26, 27th-29, 31st to Feb 2.

Don't wanna be in the bullseye 5 days out anyway.

[colonel717]

Hopefully GFS is overdoing the warmth and rain Wed and early Thursday. Would suck to lose most of the snow.  

The wind has been brutal and has been decimating snow pack as it is.

Just took a peek at the iPhone app, and it says 9-11" on Sunday for Pittsburgh? Anyone seeing this?

What reputable weather source would put out an accumulation number 6 days out? (Let alone in my 63 years on this earth I have never seen a 9-11 amount.) lol . Maybe if people click on the site, people make $$$$

One that verbatim spits out a model run without human input to generate a 7 day forecast is my guess. If I had a dollar for everytime I give my wife or daughter advice on weather conditions and I hear but my phone says....

I guess that should calm peoples fears of suppression somewhat.

I just figured I'd take a look and see what it shows for Pittsburgh, after seeing Clay Travis's post on X/Twitter saying it was showing 15-18" for Nashville on Saturday.

So far this is trying to work it's magic. We need to shake the dust off.

Looks like the 18z gfs

[colonel717]

Good explanation on how this should co.e north.

[Ahoff]

We're probably in a decent spot at this point.  We know that doesn't always mean anything, but storms like this do seem to tick north as they come in.
