A few random thoughts before the real fun gets underway a little later:

-I like that the storm is taking its time developing the precip shield. This should bode well for later on.

-I like seeing the development of the precip shield with an increasing south to north orientation.

-I like seeing the western extent of the precip shield back to the Ohio border.

-inverted trough snow bands notoriously shift to the east at game time as @psuhoffman has mentioned this week. I like seeing this band modeled just to the west of the LSV main corridor at this point. The Harrisburg & York crew just need a slight adjustment east to get into the goods.

Low of 34, currently 36 with light rain.  I took the inner cylinder out of the gauge in anticipation of this event so can't tell how much but no more than a couple hundredths.  Not loving what I'm seeing perusing various models this morning.  A worst-case scenario would be the coastal keeps ticking east leaving us outside of its primary bands and the trough sets up in more of a State College to South Mountain type corridor so we miss that as well.  Stuck in the middle with you.  Hope not but it's looking like a distinct possibility at this point, perhaps even the most likely.  Despite all that, CTP's map keeps improving.  I'll be here either way ha.

Not complaining at all. But curious what is the deal with IPT in the lesser snow? It happens a lot. Is it mountains or what? 
 

Ground is covered moderate snow.

The NAM continues the eastern rug-pull.  Really going to try and enjoy this evening no matter what but I hate this feeling.  Mentally preparing myself for a bust.  The 3k NAM perfectly illustrates my "stuck in the middle" concerns.

Hate to say it, but its been on my mind since last evening.  We've seen this before, but as this storm has been different (regarding modeling), I was hoping to buck normal tendencies.  Just gonna have to roll w/ it.  Still Sunday funday and a tie game.  3rd period should be excititng.

75% rain / 25% snow mix toward Linglestown (35°F), with no accumulation. Given the marginal boundary layer temperatures, it will be difficult to see snow accumulation if model trends continue to support subsidence across the LSV. Most of the model snow maps are way too high given ratios and ground temperatures.

It's looking snowy in Huntingdon County (https://stormsellweather.com/weatherwall/pawebcams.html), where banding has been present most of the morning.
