ICON tracks it West. Snow to mix. I can certainly see a scenario like this playing out...classic thump to mix or rain. Sets us up our arctic push and 50/50 for the period later next week that I am interested in. Dont see this weekend as a clean snow hit attm. Suppose it could trend tho. Busy tracking times!

Noice! Had the wrong GEFS...looks steady

Soooo a threading of the needle you say?

Spoke too soon. Heaviest snow of the day attm. New dusting in past 5 mins.

Impressive for BAM BAM. CMC is also frigid. Atmospheric chef has the first ingredient for the main course. I heard the gravy is delicious.

From your finally charged mobile device to God's ears. Bring it home!

Still snowing here in Ivyland as well. Not much additional accum. Looks like 13.5" here is the final.

I'm not seeing that at all tbh. Most guidance isn't as amped up and miss any phasing until too late...congrats E New England. Lets see what the ens do....they weren't enthusiastic at 0z

Careful what you wish for

Tread lightly, could be delayed to day 10

I really like the day 9ish threat. Stj wave, hp to the north, pv nearby, overunning, relaxing nao phase. This weekend is threading a needle, the followup has more play in the atmosphere.

The day 9 threat look more favorable than the weekend one. Relaxing nao, southern stream overunning, sprawling hp. Im all in

Miller SOB?

More accumulating snows here albeit light over the past hour. Up to 13.5" and still snowing. 29F

March 2001...20"-30" widespread forecast just 12 hrs before event. Most spots across SE PA saw 1-2". THAT is a bust.

Yeah yeah I looked quickly at the surface and saw weakness near the GL, triple point, and a storm near Hatteras and it looked like a miller b redeveloping. Hopefully we can keep the Miller a signal and this doesn't go hybrid with later coastal development

Was referring to him creating this post early evening yesterday which was about midway

I just heard from a friend that this actually smells more of a Miller A, so perhaps that's the aroma you're catching.

Right? People should always wait until the event is completely over. Not saying anything more significant accumulates, but cancelling at the midway point sometimes isn't the best course of action.

Amazing!!!

Wrong (wrt crapping on the threat) Many here seem happy with the storm currently pulling away....I haven't been in here. Certainly not dismissing the threat, just suggesting if either of our areas get bullseyed with another Miller B with 4 days+ lead time we should be realistic and keep expectations in check knowing Miller b track history.

Careful. Unless u can get lobes of the PV or the entire PV phasing that can spell a dry and cold period. But as we saw as recently as the past few days, our chances will go up when the blocking relaxes. Again, thats assuming the PV doesn't play into our storm threats. I like the chances going forward for sure. We aren't even close to being done tracking. The warm Nina Feb outlooks certainly won't verify over the next 10 days at least.

Looks like another Miller B? Don't put yourself thru it again.

13.5" so far in Ivyland, PA. Temp dropped to 29F. Currently moderate snow.

Was mentioning in another thread, while it may have had the right idea for all the wrong reasons, the GFS for the 6 days or so prior to the storm had the mix and sleet area consistently in S PA more than any other guidance. Actually sniffed that out and preformed better than the mesos in that regard....but again, more so a function of slp being more N but if we followed Miller B trends and used the GFS as guidance, it was consistent with the mixing looks yet we all shrugged the GFS off as a messy transfer, too far N etc when in actuality at least for Southern PA it didn't do bad. Took till the end to get the higher snow totals and QPF in the LV so it failed there.
