If I do take the New England route I’ll be booking a hotel in Albany on Sunday night, where there are still plenty of rooms available. From what I’m seeing, clear skies are likely east of Lake Ontario.
Was really hoping Ohio would be the best place for this as I have family there. But recent forecasts don’t seem very good. Looks like upstate NY could be the play for me. Gonna wait a day or two then make my plans.
I plan on traveling to northeast Ohio for the eclipse as long as rain isn’t in the forecast for that day. I have a family member who lives in a Cleveland suburb who’s letting me stay at her place if I want to. Really hoping for clear skies - I’ll even settle for partly cloudy.
Just had a nice little graupel shower in southern Lehigh County. Some snow pellets are dusting the ground…will probably melt in the next few minutes though.
Slept through the thunderstorms last night so I was hoping the squall line would give me something exciting. Unfortunately it was just okay. Nothing special.
Around 3” in Philly near the airport. Really wish I could have been at home for this one. Looks like my house straddled the northern edge of that death band.
The NAM pulled this same crap right before the last storm, cutting way back on totals right before the storm starts. Not sure I’m buying it, especially with the radar looking good.
Some of the GEFS members say Friday night-Saturday could be significant. Ceiling is high-ish with this one but we need a lot to go right. Most likely scenario still seems to be a widespread 1-3”/2-4” event.
It is actually comical how far off yesterday’s 12z Euro was. Many of the areas in the 2-4” zone got a foot. And most of south Jersey away from Philly got shut out or close to it.
