We ran into Costco for one thing after getting gas and it was pretty dead too.

This was cool. First time I remember Lancaster beating Thomasville in the low temp department.

I had noticed this a few times this week, just how well LNS was doing in the low department. Snow cover baby. Love it.

Small world. I work for the owner. Can’t say enough about how much of a pleasure it is to work for him. Absolutely the best work environment one could ask for. I will be swinging by his place at some point during the storm. Main focus is on our shop though. 

That's awesome. As soon as you're leaving his home and making a left on to Tall Oak Dr,  I'm right in front of you up there on the hill with the two small pickup trucks in the driveway.

Who’s in for a contest? Total storm accum for KMDT. Closest wins. None of that without going over bull****. I’ll keep track. You win pride and maybe a small prize. I’ll close it at 11pm tonight. 

16.4”

I'll go with 14.2 please. I'll add 12.6 for LNS and my big winner is Cashtown at 18.8

[717WeatherLover]

Can I get 13.1, please?

[Subliminal87]

I’ll take 16.8

Which Harrisburg station (CBS?) was the one whose January 2016 forcast for Harrisburg as the Storm started was confidently 8-12" (I think NWS was 12" or 16" to 20") kept showing map for awhile even after we surpassed it quickly from waa alone. New guy came in early morning, put up map with 24"+ without comment next to the radar loop of that stationary 60 mile wide band full of yellow that hadn't budged as it was maturing over us and just went with it?

If this wasn't starting so damn early Sunday I'd say a few here could handle the game with beer provided double or triple aren't in the name.

The expected snowfall on their site is about half of the map posted above.
They get on X and post one map and their site has another map.

Very confusing

I’m really torn between going with what I think or going low because it hasn’t been an official winter in here yet without the annual hotly debated lowball snow total measured at MDT.  I’ll go 15.0”
