It's all about the analogs, past winter patterns with the predicted AO/NAO/ EPO/ PNA /background ENSO, MJO cycle and even solar state. Climate change plays havoc with analogs.
The Pocono's and upstate PA got it the worst as far as expectations, has the ECM ever failed this bad. Dead in that forum too like they could care less lol.
Worst thing is i saw this setup as a snowball chance in hell of performing five days ago, then all the fantasy model outputs for days, only to end as a melted snowball in hell.
Important note the upper low is currently over central PA, over the next several hours the radar should fill in over eastern PA/NJ for the bulk of round #2
Winter storm warning hoisted here for 3-6" from NWS
Winter storm warning for 5-8" continued for Qtown/upper Bucks? Interesting is it going to fill in that far west.
I am seeing people say this isn't a miller B but whatever it's label it's a late developing coastal and they just love to short their SW flank on predicted snow.
Ten minutes later now moderate snow and 35F.
Last winter I endured at least half a dozen systems forecast to be 2-3" and received <1", can it go the other way for once?
* most of those events ended up .1-.2"
I have yellow radar echoes spinning over my head and what do i have to show for it? Some errant flakes and wet ground it's hard to believe. 5" from this really that is the official forecast?
