Maybe the interstates, but secondary & back roads will be covered. Rates usually overcome borderline temperatures.

Mount Joy Snowman Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 36 minutes ago, GrandmasterB said: What are we defining as a struggle? Again, we aren’t getting the 12+ totals to our east. But 72 hours ago we weren’t getting anything, except maybe a phantom IVT that’s impossible to pin down with any accuracy. I think 3-6” is a huge win. Struggle as he alluded to in his post, that being Harrisburg struggling to accumulate during the day with light rates and marginal temps, which I think is a completely fair take. The city can struggle in marginal events with its low-lying location and UHI effects, which is why I was careful to say "Harrisburg proper". I've worked there for 20 years and have seen it firsthand. Lord knows @canderson reminds us of it regularly haha. There is no doubt they could win with nice rates or in the overnight bands but therein lies the question, will they get them? I don't think anybody truly knows but completely agree 3-6" would be a nice event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Good post from @RU848789 in the NYC thread that includes the latest NBM & info on the snow ratio factors it uses. A few commnts on the NBM. Some think the high amounts are all due to the GFS/NAM being part of the blend and that's partly true, but snow ratios are also part of it as can be seen by just looking at the QPF vs. snowfall maps, as there's nowhere with >2.4" of QPF, but many locations getting >24" of snow even along the coast and inland with maybe 1.5" of QPF. The NBM table above says they use a combo of max temp aloft (Kuchera, I assume) and the Cobb method for generating ratios. So those 10:1 maps are likely underestimates.

Blizzard of 93 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Here is the 15z NBM & 15z NBM Para. I would be thrilled with the range in the Harrisburg area of 7 to 11 if that verified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, 12z Euro is more tucked & stronger when it matters for the LSV. Decent snow continues into Monday am as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago From @MillvilleWx moments ago: ECMWF definitely folded and the 5H progression is great through 00z, then it kicks east-northeast instead of north-northeast like it should on the capture. It's coming into better alignment with other guidance like the GFS and hi-res. It's still a little too dry overall considering the setup, but it's a big shift in the grand scheme and a final fold to how this will materialize. QPF is going to be tough with this one. Our forecast should be on the website now and it's a very sharp gradient from Easton to DC with more east. It's plausible it's too light, but there will be adjustments tonight. Still a general 3-6" for a lot of the region with 5-10" across the M/D from Carroll on east. The norlun trough is a stripe of 6-10" now. That setup is delicate. Updated forecast will be out later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
