If one parses over most majors, it shouldnt be hard to see that the upcoming couple weeks that has been supported by ENS guidance is starting to have a nice look to it (pattern wise). Win, lose or draw, several chances are showing. Next Tues/Friday should be first 2 and week beyond....could be more, but I'm not wasting any energy beyond next week. As you stated, should be a fun week ahead.

Is it a bus?

Looking at 12z GFS for early next week, I'm gonna just say....right where we want it.

Regarding your post about the ICON, look at 540's between 6z and nooner. Jogged S by about 3 states. IMO its a little too far out to parse over details, and while you might not like to look at 500's, thats what drives the bus, so IMO we need to "get that right" before diving too deep into surface maps. 6z nooner

For those that cant tell what a good look is, I'll post it for you. 300+ hr maps should be banned from weenie view, no matter how good or bad they look IMO. Hell of late 240 is really pressing the envelope.

Agreed. Looks like we have 1 more rainer to get through before legit winter chances start to show. Hoping this period holds for more than a couple weeks, but we'll worry about that hopefully after a few chances at snow.

Both todays and this weekends event have some fetch that'll likely freshen whatever is left of the snowpack for norther wester LES folks. Looks like a 24 to 36 hr window tomorrow into thursday and then sundayish.

Was thinking the same. Hoping colder air is deeper so you n I worry less.

Lotsa migrant flocks mixed in w/ resident right now. Nephew invited me to waterfowl w/ him this weekend. Told him it may be a tad moist for that as we may need a boat for his fields.

Northern Pa right now. Hearing totals of over 14" otg. in Cambria county. Of course not a trained spotter, but if you wanna see his pic I'll share that too.

not often you get to hit 12" of fresh ungroomed snow. Go get it....and like NOW.

If only we had HP up north for the next one, I'd consider a road trip, but looks pretty wet...w/ little white. Then we set the table for the next week. Nooners at 500 are more of a progressive look (like last weekends event...just notably colder wrt thermals), so hoping us SE'rs dont taint. If one believes GFS...theres nothing to worry about cause there aint no storm to fret abt.

on occasion we've seen SLP go far enough W such that the warm air intrusion was lessend, which give some a little extra time before warm air scours out thermals. Like you said, doesnt happen often, but it happens. CAD feature was consistantly showing up for a while, even though many were too snakebit to believe. Thats why I love this game...always keeps us guessing.

.....we'll enjoy it for 12 hrs.

Central and northern snow cams are just beautiful. Enjoy it while you can lucky buggers.

Congrats Mag. Enjoy

Today is another example of how one can miss seeing the forest through the trees. Most didnt see this... but this storm has been modeled rather consistently for days now. This next one is as well. Not saying the outcome is the same, but lots of similarities and while there is no 1036 hp anchored for the next one, there may still be some more snow for some that have been longing to see it (likely northers for this upcoming weekend). Some will say meh, but a true snow hound takes any snow they can get. Hoping some get more surprise snow this weekend, before we all may cash in next week. Beyond that....who knows.

Saw drizzle n 35 on way into office. now light rain for me. Congrats to all the winners today. Hoping you pad stats before you warm n wet like the rest of us losers.

@Mount Joy Snowman and i heard lititz and manheim got 3-4" from weekend event prior to changeover, so I guess I verified my 3-6 even if not mby...hehe (I really dont give 2 shits....but co worker told me what we got). I was just happy we got the storm.

Yep. Snowing nicely up there now. Been watching for last hour. On top of what they got over weekend 4-5ish, it might make it through. Dunno. Nice to see laurels n central still snowing. Happy for them. and yeah, a week from today the mood may be bright in here for a while.

Squall line much?

FYP

Some of our wester and norther folk may like the GEM for this weekend. Snow map is deep. Also seeing GEM now is a miller B w/ transfer at 120 as cold press is a tad deeper and likely helping. Not sure if that gains any momentum or not. GFS not to dissimilar w/ SLP placement but warmer, so there's that.

yeah, it was nice to see chatter last week, and looks like more chatter (for various reasons) may continue. Really hoping next weeks pattern can put some more snow/cold on the board for us.

Yeah I could have added Danville to the winners list (hills north towards northumberland anyway). Bear Gap always "wins". Lol. Elevation was discussed by some of us early on wrt this event, and that surely factored into the mix of who got what. R/S line is tricky in marginal events and always some winners and losers. We all got snow, so it was a win IMO.
