Euro gives DC nearly an inch tonight let's see if its right (although it might be sleet looking at soundings)

Most all of my ground is frozen so stickage commences quick 

[Eskimo Joe]

Mesonet data suggests soils have cooled considerably in the past 24 hours. Any frozen that falls will accumulate. We ran a house fire just north of Westminster last night and everything froze. Had to use the exhaust from the trucks to thaw out the ground ladders so we could get them back on the apparatus.

Hi! Lol, We do have a Central PA thread that includes many posters from York, Lebanon, Dauphin & Lancaster. Most of us that post there regularly are from southern PA.

@mitchnick posts there sometimes.

You are welcome to come home as well anytime!

My highest total so far this season is 3” so if I get close to that off a few hour snow band that’s hilarious. Bring it.

It’s way way west 

[DDweatherman]

There’s gonna be a lot of posts in here tonight if the GFS or Euro do what the NAM is doing right now for Sunday.

[Amped]

Right on Q, Nam goes from having the least precip, to having the most precip in 1 run.

You made an excellent life choice getting that place

[DDweatherman]

I think we need to separate the threads for tomorrow’s little event and Sunday, but I’ll defer to Randy and the mods. I guess tomorrow doesn’t affect enough of the sub?

Keep us posted on tonight. Can actually see heavy stuff moving over your place on radar for once. I smell an overperforming weekend again
