1. I think I have less than an inch of snow on weekdays this winter

2. I thought I wanted the GFS to be right and sorry to be blasphemous but idk if I genuinely want 2 feet of wet snow with 40mph winds lol. Would be the biggest storm I’ve ever seen which would be cool but not sure this city is equipped to handle that much snow

Some nonsense about telleconnections not being right for a big storm 

He may be right. But as we’ve seen for sometime now, the tellies, indices and analogs ain’t what they used to be.

As a SJ native I think you are about to get crushed '78, '79, '83, '96, '03 style! Don't worry about March '01 lol. Models much better now.

It's funny, but we moved to SEPA in '86 (from Erie!). I remember the '93 storm with all of the ice, and the '94 storm when I was at PSU. Then I left in '95 to join the Navy. I didn't move back to ChesCo until '09, and I moved to Berks in '20. So I'll have to take your word for it. :)

It's handled tons before for decades just fine.

'78 was Feb 5-7 I was almost 10 years old. It surprised a lot of people. Highways riddled with abandoned cars from pm rush hour. '79 was PD 1. '83 also amazing 2/11. '96 showed for 2 days, and '03 PD2 I remember there were times snowed so hard it was like a summer storm of snow lol

0z GFS verbatim would be the third largest Philly snowfall of all time. And the last storm was handled very poorly 

One of the main reasons I'm fascinated with weather is how winter storms can hamper day to day things. Can't do anything about it so might as well enjoy it!
