6z's starting off the day w/ good steps.

Icon pops secondary quicker and bring perty blues 40-50 mile SE with it.  Saves my ass from much taint.

Giddy up buttercups....

Yardsticks snippet from ctp also a thing of beauty.

Celebration of life service this morning

Celebration of snow rest of weekend.

 

Outside of the Euro which brought the mix line further north, the rest of the 6Z runs were a noticeable improvement. ICON significantly colder, NAM better up top, RGEM improved. If we are moving to a compromise towards the GFS, that’s a big win!

If you want some extra Friday weather tracking fun, check out the 6z GFS for Next weekend…wow! 
The GFS & some other Op/ensembles have been interested off & on for another chance next weekend.

Oh  & there could be a Clipper around this Thursday that takes a decent track for us a little snow pack refresher.

Exciting times on here!

yeah, this is looking like quite a nice stretch of the "winters of old" coming up.  Just giddy about it.

and in truth even if the Euro is right, its still an out and out beatdown w/ me pingin for a couple hours after the hammers already dropped.  I'll take it just as it is n be happy. 

and after looking at 6z, verbatim I'm all snow.

We don’t know. Read the NWS write-up. They discuss this in some detail with the comma head potentially over us (GFS).

as weve been seeing, secondary (coastal) is the key for that deformation band to set up.  longer the primary holds on, it impedes coastal/comma head development.

A cold weather advisory from the NWS goes into effect from 10pm tonight till 10am tomorrow morning. Highs today before an arctic frontal passage will get close to freezing in spots before dropping quickly by late afternoon. We should fall to the teens during the 7pm hour and near single digits by midnight tonight. Lows tonight should be near 4 degrees above zero and we recover tomorrow to no higher than 15 to 17 degrees. Wind chills near 10 below tomorrow. The well-advertised snowstorm arrives after midnight tomorrow night and could last into Monday morning. Most of Chester County will transition from heavy snow to heavy sleet during the late afternoon on Sunday. This will stop fast accumulating snow and move the area to slow accumulating sleet which does count as snow accumulation....be sure to clean off your snowboards when the snow turns to sleet. Once the storm passes on Monday we will see little melting for at least the next week - in fact, models are hinting we may not see another above freezing day till Groundhog Day in early February. Oh, and indeed I do not think we have seen our last snow event either.

Low of 26.  Just got done perusing the 0z/6z model suite and overall pretty solid.  I will say, in the aggregate, the mean sleet line seems to reach almost directly over my area by late Sunday afternoon, with the NAM obviously being the most aggressive.  Luckily most of the qpf will have occurred by then and the loss shouldn't be too great.  We'll have to see if the NAM scores another coup or course corrects to something in between itself and the GFS.  I will be keeping a close eye on the Meso's as they come into range today.  12z HRRR just wrapped up and looks good at the end of the run but hard to make much of it at this point.  Next 24 hours critical for the MD line folks with regard to sleet impact.  Either way, a major storm the likes of which we haven't seen in years is on the way, with deep cold to follow, and perhaps other opportunities thereafter.  We've been cold since November so who knows maybe this will be the winter that won't quit.  Buckle up friends.

I'm hoping to pass the 12" mark with this storm, just a hair north of Route 30 in New Holland, if we mix 8-12 and if we don't 10-15 is my call.

I like that call. I told family back home to expect around a foot, for the county I'd say 8-16" with the least amount near Kirkwood and highest amounts around Etown.

12z NAM 4am Sunday ripping 

12Z NAM is a big win for our area.  Precip arrives faster, absolute wall of moisture, just when we start to flirt with mixing we get a little coastal influence to save us.  Great run!!  /ninja'd by AccuChris and MJS!
