I was surprised that the temperature has warmed up overnight 34 this morning

Post the map as I'm on this phone and it won't let me do to much on this old phone. Now we wait for further guidance from our premium forecaster.

I'll take 6.5 (.44)

The American Storm @BigJoeBastardi 2 forecasts made. One early week using analog blend of Kennedy and Reagan snow events, and now the adjustment. Changed 2 numbers ( acy down, maybe too much, Boston up a bit). 20-30 to 1 ratios near 528 thk/-8c 850 temps should fluff up amounts Correct analogs can Prevent model swing whipsaw

JB is going for the higher amounts in Pa. He said that an hour ago.

I just hope this storm delivers. I hope it's not like the forecasted rain the last few months. Everytime it looked like we were gonna get good amount of rain, when game time came amounts were lowered.

I think DT is going with the GFS.

The target in the 'burg is not always substainable.

Yes I hear that too. They say well my weather app says no snow tomorrow, what you talking about?

I guess one thing temps will be below freezing before, during and after the storm. So every flake will count. And I assume blowing and drifting will become a problem in exposed areas. Especially where I live. Plows are absent alot of the time on secondary roads including state Penndot plowed roads. And with the holiday on Monday, there will be no hurry to plow. But my wife is an essential US government employee that has to get to work in the wee hours of Monday morning.

I see there are winter storm warnings in Maryland. But as usual they stop at the border of CTP.

Maybe i'm old school, but I like watching local weather on tv, for their perspective on weather events. And the carpet and tile guys is my go to.

I think your right on that. I read a post that said it was them.

I have a feeling someone in the burg is going to experience flash flooding without having a cloud in the sky or an echo on the radar.

Most of these local TV mets. know the area that they work in. They know the climatology of the area there forecasting for. Most have been on a certain tv station for many years. IMO this is a bad move by the media giants that own these stations.

I am look forward to your accumulation map.

This should be concerning to all of us in Pa. and the rest of the country especially in severe weather situations. We might ridicule them at times, but when they break in a program to inform us of a tornado on the ground or flood warning that there is a needed to inform us all of a life or death situation. The reason for getting rid of tv station meteorologists is to save money. Just an FYI. The local media landscape is changing drastically and will continue to do so in the coming years. Many layoffs are to come, as smaller stations close down and local news becomes centralized to fewer locations. -Matthew

And lets not forget the all important DT start times too!

DT first call after 11pm.

I'm right on the border of th screw zone.

At least most of us got a Winter Storm Watch.
