Nam trying to get a burst of snow for even areas of the LSV tomorrow (west).

We have had a few moments of tension here this year but watching yet another decent poster get his ass handed to him in the MA I wanted to state my appreciation for most here. NOT mentioning specific names but we have one top level met Who does not feel the need to mock others, then probably half a dozen amateur forecasters (some paid) who bring different skills sets amongst each of them....then we have another set weather fans who round out a full board where were are, in some ways, friends each winter and for some all year. For the most parts the egos stay out of the way here and I hope that continues.

Yea, that's what I meant. Franklin, Cumberland and at least part of Dauphin. Its in the 40's in those areas right now and the zones have no mention of ZR. The zones should at least match the advisory.

I will be a little surprised if they do not drop it for the LSV and maybe even the MSV.

Mag, at this point, and taking into account the current longer range look of a still less than stellar pattern, I do not think any kind of reversal can save the winter as a whole. Part of the fun of winter is the occasional white landscape and cold related activities whether skiing or just sitting in front of a fire place. Your locale is a good example. You live in the southern half of PA and will always have warm periods in any given winter but unlike the LSV you are not suspect to warm invasions from a coastal that is too close to the LSV to do them good. Your area should always have a decent snow storm or two every winter just being as far west as you are...getting sloppy seconds in late Feb or March is not a substitute for winter. Unless the depictions on the LR models are off by quite a bit I think this winter goes down as a dud no matter how much snow we get in March.

Winter is quickly fading. Starting to wonder if we ever recover this year....LR models now not pushing the boundary through at all.

Yea, I was worried about BL temps but not this...thought e had a nice piece of energy carving out a small trough with only one way to go, under us.

Wow, what looked like great setup for a low coming under us this weekend is just falling apart in virtual model world. Head shaker...

If I were not worried about temps I would be gung ho for 4-6" lsv wide.

The Great heat wave of Winter 2020. LOL Highs were not to the point of Feb. 20 and 21, 2018 though.

It only takes me seeing then models under do temps so many times before I start to learn the routine. LOL. Looks like MDT is not going to make 60. Capital City did. Nam did a good job of seeing the CAD or CAD like differences in the eastern LSV just 5-10 degrees too low across the board.

I think Sunday (or Sat night) has potential albeit again still not overly cold so temps are as much a question as the storm itself.

Probably. I still think MDT gets to 60. Here is the map showing the North East side of the LSV is still in the 50's and the far east only in the low 60's.

Took a peek at Wunderground map and it appears almost all of the LSV is into or almost into the 60's but eastern areas may fall a couple degrees short of yesterday. Some spots in Adams, Franklin and Cumberland county making a run for 70. Several 67's.

Winter dropped the ball.

Can't post the GFS snow map without posting PD III the following weekend.

Sorry to hear about the lack of work. I bet it is stressful.

I guess I was just defending our guys. Did not remember anyone go over board. I enjoy any situation that is far from norm...warm or cold...and I did punt this week from snow chances.

The only person I saw putting the rest of February was psu.

Blizz plug your ears and shut your eyes. 0Z Nam comes in with low 60's for southern LSV tomorrow.. Upper 50's at MDT. We might as well go for a 70 if the sun comes out. Put a stamp on this heat wave.

I did not mean to make it sound like I was insulting you. I will not harp on JB. He is fun to listen to.

Yea, JB is probably not to the level of even being allow to post on this board. He is bad for meteorology. Accuweather was the king until King Elliott retired and JB started off strong as his main on air replacement but is now shamed and the poster child for someone who cannot see beyond his snow goggles.

Blizz, thanks for manning the guns and keeping the hope up.

If the sun breaks out tomorrow I suspect we get up to similar highs. 69 on my side of the mountain.

When I was talking about the possible record setting heat this week I was adding 5 degrees on to all model foretasted temps. When the sun is out the models almost always low ball temps. 68 at the homestead right now.
