Congrats to all that "cashed in" in the last 2 days w/ first frostings. Never thought for a second we'd see it down here, but us snowhounds are giddy to see it getting closer. Headed to clearfield tomorrow. Looks like I'll be a day late.... 37 for low w/ spotted frost on rooftops around my hood.

2 days in a row for coudersport. also laurel highlands showing their first coatings as well. Glad this limb held me for a whole week...and still not a crack.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how it's avoidable right now. And to think that this has been all "part of the plan"

I REALLY feel for those who heat w/ oil, or baseboard heat, and are/were not able/cannot afford to transition to alternative methods (notice i didnt say cheaper). IMO efficiency is gonna be key. Hoping my new windows help w/ that. Quite an investment, but was needed.

yeah thats a big jump. Sorry to hear that. I know a lot of people are worried about utility costs right now....and they should be. What a friggin mess we are in...

28 at cabin this am and looking at NAM, tomorrow may be rather widespread frost/freeze even for us that werent considering it down here. Best panel for maximum effect...aka....cherrypickin. Wind is already outta the SW, so IMO its almost looking like a CAD presentation as the mtns may lock in the cold SE of them for a bit prior to the scouring to commence. Just me thinkng aloud...

yeah, I think tomorrow is a legit crack at it. Thurs has a chance as well, but looks to be the start of warming as winds turn to the SW. Nice cold shot to get us in the mood. First fire in the woodstove last night. It was nice.

coudersport is in the books for a T http://www.swedenhillsnocam.com/PCSC.jpg 37 was my low. Never expected a freeze, although tonight may flirt w/ some frost for even us down here.

one can dream right.... tha'd prob be rain or pingers for me while you make naked snow angels...

lol... they never had you getting below freezing - but verbatim he now is (when he wasnt). This is arguably the "coolest" this panel has looked for our part of the map (if one takes the time to look over the trends). Peace out...

.27 at cabin in Tioga....so they also underachieved as per NWS precip outputs being spit out yesterday. Enjoy the weekend all....headed to the hills in a little bit to take in all of autumns glory. Oh and .........go State!! And Eagles!!

Huh, that sounds nice. My new Blaze King wood stove has catalytic converter, which when it works...its great, but it's a persnickety bugger, and I'm still working out the kinks w/ it. Its touted as extremely efficient (and I know my wood moisture content was too moist last season), which reduces the efficiency/burn.

get your woodstove ready (if you have one). I think mine will fire up next week to kick the season off.

That even works down here. Hoping that look holds as we get closer.

Looking at overnighters, seems like it's still on track for a pre season teaser for the typical lucky ones, as trough looks to be slightly deeper than yesterday as well as backed in. It's short lived though and looks like a couple cool days before we warm back up for the following weekend, but that's ok. It's early autumn and see saws are expected. Enjoy the ride. Same timestamp as previous for continuity's sake.

@canderson.55 event total for me as well. Now we enjoy a nice autumn weekend and wait to see who gets the first flakes next week.

.3 here. Glad it verified for you guys.

Nice try pal....like me...we'll keep waiting. Just nice to see it on "our" maps. Right?

In support of my earlier comments about mid next week flakfest for some. Trough is gettin diggy and that could make some giddy.... Same time stamp as earlier.

cloudy in Etown. 64 Looking at radar suggests the window of instability should be closing rather soon. precip backbuiliding into SE lanco and SW to Balt/Wash as front is moving twds Mag and Happy valley (maybe notsohappy after Saturday). Sure hope they win.

They sure are lurking just south of the M/D line.

Cloudy here but satellite loop suggest a brief window for brightening skies before frontal passage as Bubbles alluded to earlier. Not sure the window is large enough to do much, but we'll find out in a few. I have .26 in the bucket, and would be surprised if we crack more than .75 total for the event. Still alright by me.

Its undeniably true. Just remember that even modified temps can yield the results most of us want. Not sure who called for a hard freeze. I just looked back thru saturday and didnt see it. But maybe I'm dizzy from my last fall. NBD ( I was 20 feet up a tree last weekend tho ) While only a limited view, and one of the models known to run warmer than depicted, here is last few runs for GFS in 24 hr increments. I picked 18z for "warmest" temps. Even if they warm by a few degrees, this still likely gets it done for favored locals (with latest timestamp trending colder). All things aside, you have a better chance of winning when betting on the hot hand, but there's enough continuity for this one to have legs, and its well into the mid range, so iI guess we'll see. I dont care if I end up being right....not why I'm here...but I do care about snow, and for some, this isnt trending away.....yet.

I'm going to reiterate that I'm not thinking we do anything snowwise down here. Likely too early for us. My thoughts from a few days back were the easy pickings, the normal norther wester crew NC/Laurel peeps. NOT us....even though they are part of us. Just setting the table for reasonable expectations. This limb feels a bit safer than the last (and weather world mentioned it last night....so they are in my camp

and even if we get jipped down here, i hope the norther folk get the goods, as they still have some deficit to make up for. My well at cabin has slightly recovered from summer lows, but not by much. Mind you thats merely a single point obs, but its all i got for you
