I was looking at the 700/850 frontogensis from 6z GFS and they have little islands of life piping at random it appears at time except for concentration just off show. I'm used to seeing them more crazy underrated. Would love to hac what's going on explained.

   I hear you buddy.  I feel like I'm sitting pretty in Fairview, township with the PA  turnpike and i83 intersection in my backyard . What's your thoughts on me @Jns2183 or @SnowPlowGuy88 seeing a death band and or some taint ? 

   I sure hope you're wrong about me not getting what I wish / want because if I don't I'm definitely holding thst red tag hating sob@Ruin accountable. :gun_bandana:

 

Mind you, i'm just a weenie like you, but based on trajectory and synoptics, I think taint is minimal/mitigated as a result.  IF trough axis was more neg tilted, I'd think many easters would taint/rain, but as it is coming at us and not up, thats why I'm guessing we'll do ok (yeah, likely some taint, but not until we get a substantial thumpin).  As antecedent cold is stoudt, and I'm hoping CAD saves us east of the Apps.  There is notable wraparound qpf being depicted on some models, but my gut says deform/deathbands would likely be further NE when coastal/secondary really gets crankin.  My gut says were just standard run of the mill wraparound lite snow to finish.  

These are merely my thoughts, and remember, you asked for them. hehe

Gonna b a fun one no matter.  Just glad the entire state is in the game for a good event.

Yeah, yeah, man, it's cool. I'm not real hip on the evolution so thanks. I looked over some of the stuff that blizzard posted last night and it looks like it might have been throwing back some snow at us,so I guess that kind of image and wish is stuck in my head. And yeah, I realize if it's not tucked i'm not quite in the right spot for death banding..

In truth it is tucked, but the progressive/non stalled evolution is why we miss def bands here, but further NE, it could be game on.  And speaking of, If patriots were playin in foxborough and not denver, man o man that'd be a fun one to watch.  sadly no so.

The only frustrating part of this storm will be onset watching Virga until it moistens up.

I'll not be up at 2am waiting for it to start.  I'll get up around 4-5 and hope that we've saturated and turn the snow machine on for the entire day.

A significant winter storm begins toward midnight on Saturday night. Today should be our last relatively mild day for the rest of the month of January and into the start of February. Tomorrow we return to near normal temperatures with highs in the middle 30’s. An arctic cold front will cross the area later tomorrow afternoon temperatures will fall quickly to single digits above zero by midnight. Saturday will be very cold and breezy with highs only in the mid-teens. The snow arrives overnight and continues through at least 1pm on Sunday. By that point, most areas of Chester County could see between 6” to 8” of snow. At some point after that we should begin to see the snow mix with and change to sleet and freezing rain from SE to NW across the area  This will cut into any additional potential snow accumulations. The final snow/sleet accumulation totals will depend on how fast this changeover occurs. Either way there will be plenty of snow and sleet accumulation. Unseasonably cold weather follows the storm with temperatures likely not rising above freezing for possibly at least the next 10 days.image.png.7b753c61759031325fda08b9df020fba.png

Nam Drier?

Hard to know since the run ends at 84. My takeaway is that it was colder overall vs. its 6Z run and our area is properly mauled before we lose the 850’s. It also tried with the coastal this run, but the primary made it just a bit too far north.

does the NAM ever lead a trend?

Always a good idea to keep an eye on what it’s showing and put it in a camp. In this case it’s much closer to the Canadian solution than the GFS. I wouldn’t weight it as much as an operational out past 48 hours. 

When it shows this type of mid level warming though it’s unfortunately been right quite a few times.
