Temp down to 36. Light snow just started.

Highest gust so far is 46. Temp down to 41.

Just got a 40 mph gust...currently 60 degrees. (In Deep Creek for Thanksgiving)

While this is focused on “major snow events” in the Philly region, I found it a quick, easy read on the major factors to look for in our area (50/50, NAO, EPO, etc). DT helped put it together based on the credits. Some of the specifics for things that work well for them aren’t the case here but still a handy read. You’ll notice they use images from the KU textbook. https://www.abington.k12.pa.us/teachers/hurmms/Majorsnowstormchecklist_files/Stormchecklist.ppt

NWS Pitt posted High Wind Warnings for Garrett/Preston/Tucker counties. And looks like we'll get some upslope here tomorrow night into Thanksgiving morning. Maybe can squeeze an inch from it.

We just had a blizzard...weather channel dubbed it Storm Straschzerdon.

00z 3k has 80MPH gusts for the highest ridgetops near Canaan overnight Wednesday into Thanksgiving and 55MPH gusts here in Deep Creek. I’ll take the under on hurricane force wind gusts.

UKMET a little better in that department.

@GATECH that’s amazing...enjoy the trip! Take pictures please. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with snow chains.

Didn't one of the MA posters just move out there too? Looks like they chose right.

I hope you mean a dead palm tree

If the AO is forecasted to be so abnormally +, question for the pros...why do we have this map? Slightly +PNA driving that?

January will be rockin’

Especially if the Cowboys can get their sht together.

I’m not a Ravens fan (root for them though) but the game is a classic trap game I think.

I wish it was 6 degrees colder in NE....I’d love watching this game under heavy snow.

IMO its only worth focusing on the next 10 days...beyond that, the models have been changing as you note. I’m just excited we open December with cold weather...hopefully can time a clipper that drops some frozen in the area.

The first week of December’s pattern as currently advertised is great for the mountains in Garrett County & WV. Cold/dry NS dominant patterns is a boon for upslope conditions out there.

That period bears watching for sure, especially in the mountains and favored NW areas. Pretty impressive system verbatim and would agree that the setup could favor a more southernly depiction with the low. I’m not even ‘worried’ about a possible +AO past D10 when we have a cold start to the month on tap...and lots of volatility on the LR stuff.

Models coming around to the idea of some upslope overnight Wednesday into Thursday for the mountains. Not much in the way of accumulation but will make for a festive Thanksgiving morning.

Big PK there.

Might need to get my summer clothes out of the attic. December looks toasty.

Outdoor Christmas lights up...now just need some snow to make it look like Christmas. Too bad we have Bob crushing weenie hopes and dreams in the LR thread. I’m glad I went with a call for ~5” at DCA.

3k NAM wetter again...1”+ for much of the area. Hopefully we see this setup repeat itself multiple times this winter.
