Central PA Winter 25/26 Discussion and Obs

[Jns2183]

Rain and 35 in the city. This was never going to do anything here until later this evening (and can’t be a bust when you predict minimal impact lol) 
It all will come down to the trough overnight. 

We shall now by 7pm. That is the time

I stopped following MU when Horst left, you can see a clear bias.

Very true. But it seems different now. He's lost his ability to be professional.

He is absolutely unprofessional. Is he a professor? 

[Itstrainingtime]

It's so odd to behold.  Not sure I've ever seen someone choose a career in weather who has a pure disdain for all-things snow or winter.  I couldn't believe some of the comments I saw him make this past week.  He said this winter was insufferable and unbearable and that he hated it.  Constantly ranting about models.  Also agreed with many people who made comments like, "It's crazy to me how anyone could enjoy winter or snowstorms."  Just all types of stuff trashing snow-lovers.  He may get the forecast right and that's great, that he did his job properly, but his tone and biases are really something else.

This is how many Mets are they just dont show it

34ºF and about 1-1.5” on the grass/decks here, not much precip falling at the moment. Very wet snowfall. 

I saw some of the early 6z stuff come out before I went to sleep early this morning and I wasn’t too enthused with the trends. The more robust guidance is now fading the coastal low pretty hard after it only just reaches off the Delmarva. Banking on that low coming in closer was a key part of me bringing back the higher amounts further into the Sus Valley on my map, but I did reflect my thoughts on that as well as surface temp issues during the daytime portion of this event. 

Short range/high range seems to be zeroing on the inverted trough band centering somewhere between here and Harrisburg. If the steadier stuff developing just east of I-99 doesn’t push back this way some this afternoon I’ll be sunk for getting anything near a warning total.

I know it's far from over. But might as well stick this in here. Maybe the storm will surprise some of us.

Basically what ittrainingtime said. It’s been constant.

Some of these people just assume that everyone hates winter. A lot of the TV mets do that. It’s really irritating.

Talking about all of Pennsylvania being nervous because of clear signs of subsidence over our area. 

[WmsptWx]

My opinion on Kyle Elliott is this: 

I do not subscribe to the "cancel culture" stuff that is alleged to be going on in this country for the last decade or so, but I'm having a serious conversation with Eric Horst about coming back if I am the President of the University. The MU weather account on Twitter has been a straight-up detriment to the department and the institution as a whole over the last two months. And maybe I am overestimating it, but I can see parents of a HS Junior or Senior interested in met and looking at MU's Twitter and saying "Is being a branchie at Penn State really that bad?"

 

As our HR professional already said, he's unhinged and is no longer conducting himself as a professional. That is a problem that could start hurting the bottom line.

34.7 and falling. Finally starting to chang to all snow.

[GrandmasterB]

Looks like a nice band rotating up from MD into the York area. It will be interesting to get some obs when that comes up.
I wouldn’t spike any footballs just yet. Could still be some surprises. Coastal not even out of the OBX area yet.

Good to see you posting.  I'm finally seeing some white rain here.  Temp shot up to 37 but is back down to 36 now.  All surfaces very wet.  Not expecting any meaningful accumulation until sundown.

Still rain here in Maytown.

[Voyager]

35 here with a somewhat decent rate falling, but the late February midday sun is doing it's dirty work. Even our bare grassy areas are beginning to melt off at the moment.

[Jns2183]

I've been a pessimistic regarding this storm, but I have to say it's far far too early to say anything. 7pm was the earliest time I could pin point to tell. Especially regarding what I thought was our best shot, the inverted trough
