Yep, right with you. Hey, you have to play to win. Last year we didn't have enough players to even form a team. This year, it's whether or not we can get our guys to come together and get us a couple of wins. Maybe we're the WFT going up against Pittsburgh...

It's mostly gone now, but watching the radar loop I was under some of the heavier returns. My daughter works just outside of Lancaster and from the pictures she sent me, they might have had a little more than what I had.

@Greensnow nice pictures, thank you for sharing.

Talk about a positive mood change - ground and roads are covered here. It's not much, but in these days...man does it look and feel good outside right now. Got several tenths of an inch with -SN still flying.

Got a solid coating here within minutes. Really, it's very much a squall. Went from virga to wind-blown snow in a minute and was heavy for about 5 minutes. Still snowing lightly here near Rt. 30, I'd estimate a few/several tenths of an inch so far.

Snowing VERY nicely right down the road from you. We whiten! It's brightening out now and the snow is diminishing - that was a nice squall! Solid coating here.

Just started here! Went from virga to legit -SN in about a minute.

Poster in our thread (Central PA) is reporting -SN in midtown Harrisburg now. I'm about 20 miles SE of Harrisburg, nothing here yet, though the ceiling has noticeably lowered over the past 20 minutes. A few flakes here now. I'm about 5 miles north of Rt. 30 right on the Susquehanna on the Lancaster county side.

As someone on here said yesterday, the Steelers were the worst 11-0 team ever. I follow them VERY closely, and while their defense might be very good, this is in no way a dominant team. I think @CAPE is correct here - a good team for sure, but I'm not convinced they do much of anything come postseason. They don't run exceptionally well, their receivers drop a ton of passes, they're still susceptible to dumb penalties, and they have a QB situation where if Ben gets hurt, they're done. And he's not the most durable guy behind center anymore. Much credit to Washington - it was fun watching their D fly around yesterday. If I was a Washington fan I'd have more hope than I've had for many years.

A lot of the fun can be the chase itself, especially with the right attitude and understanding going in. Patience, and chances... Man, I lit up when I saw that you posted. Welcome back my friend! I like your thought and call.

We've (LSV specific) have been spoiled rotten since 2003 with big daddy snowstorms. After suffering from the '83 blizzard pretty much up until the '93 winter, the past year or two while frustrating, does not compare to that stretch. Patience...

Yes. In March, the last thing I want is a coating - that is big game season for me. Right now, on December 8th, I'd love to see snow. Any amount is fine and gladly appreciated!

I thought you said Leesburg, which is in northern Virginia. When I read that post my first thought was that you were spot on. I think a comparison to that general area is good...notsomuch southern VA.

.64" in the bucket thus far - should end up fairly close to 1" for the event.

Ji is off-putting to a LOT of people on here, and I totally respect those that feel that way. Personally, I think he's the funniest negative person on the board. His act does grow a bit weary to me only in that he actually knows a lot - I listen to what he says because honestly...he's often right.

A light wintry mix of rain and sleet continues here. 42 degrees.

@ChalkHillSnowNut: I know you've been here in our thread some lately, how much snow did you end up with earlier this week? Congratulations on whatever amount you got!

I think that sums this situation up perfectly, agree with every word of this. I bolded the section that resonates best with me, and that is why we've been talking about patience. We're still early in the hunt, and for those of us in the lowlands to get snow, we need moisture AND a well timed, fresh cold airmass. The cold of the past few days is moderating and moving out. It's not nearly enough for this weekend.

I took a chance with that one - I was a huge fan of him at PSU. I know he rubs some the wrong way with his homerun swing after throwing a TD pass, but the guy is a winner. All you have to do is look what's happened since he left Happy Valley to appreciate the impact he had on the program. Very happy he got a chance to play the last 2 series today.

Speaking of Trace, McSorley with his first NFL TD pass today.

Red zone defense is keeping them in the game. Steelers with 6 points on 3 trips instead the 10 yard line.

Maybe this is finally the western part of PA's long-awaited winter?

Nothing here at home. Friend in northern York county had a cartopper.

Just realized that I'm under a slight risk for severe this afternoon. In the meantime, a large area of moderate to heavy rain is moving in from the south now.

You my friend, of everyone in here, should be able to stake the claim of having the first yard to be obscured by snow. I'm glad I was able to help you see your long-term omission. When I was younger (okay, even today) I always thought it wasn't a real snow until the grass disappeared. For my yard, that's usually about 2". Another rule of thumb for my area, when a storm goes west of my location I can probably count on one hand the number of times I held on to snow long enough to eclipse 2". Just doesn't happen no matter what the models say unless there is some really significant CAD, AND the airmass is exceptionally dry going in.
