Central PA Winter 25/26 Discussion and Obs

[Superstorm]

6z GFS has this moisture laden storm on the 6th this run.
The potential period is going to be interesting to track.

Man that looks good. Just need that primary to be just a little less aggressive.

You must really be feeling this - CTP says gusts in the LSV reach 40-50 mph.

Cloudy with temperatures slowly rising to near and then above freezing this evening. There could be a couple light showers this evening that in some of the higher ridge areas could briefly see some light icing if temperatures are still freezing when the showers arrive. The good news is temperatures will continue to rise tonight and well into the 40's tomorrow with a line of showers passing through in the morning. We will become sharply colder again tomorrow with temperatures dropping to freezing by evening. We then stay well below normal for the remainder of the week and into the first week of 2026. Next light snow chance looks possible around New Year's Day.

This is stronger than last week’s front - mixing isn’t as strong it seem but the aloft winds are stronger jt appears.  We do wind well in these fronts.

The staying power of this ice is impressive. Between the cold temps and minimal solar the trees still look great and even some other surfaces are hanging on. I’m still at 32 under thick clouds and the pines look amazing.
