When it's over, we'll get t-shirts that read, "I Survived Car-Topper '22!". Winds starting to howl here, 45F.

Yeah, two nights in a row I dipped below freezing…brutal winter here We’re now inside 48hrs, so I’ll start paying more attention. A 1-3” would obliterate my Festivus totals.

I'm losing interest in this winter faster than I lost interest in the Flyers' season.

Unfortunately this is nothing new. Seems for a while now (regardless of the season) the models show an EC storm in the long to medium range only to settle on something like a frontal passage as we move up in time. That's why I said yesterday, get this inside 48 hours, then I'll worry about the deets. I suppose there's still time to trend more favorably for us. But even so, probably little more than an advisory level event.

March and April will be cold, dreary and wet to make up for it.

Starting to get the feeling my Festivus Miracle benchmark will survive the week.

RGEM at range, so there’s that, but not kind to us NW weenies.

Right! Let's just keep this threat alive. I'll worry about clown maps and mixing lines once inside 48 hours.

After today, I want to smell the rain!

Starting to see the sun filter through the clouds, 30F/DP 18F. Let's hope we can get on the board with the late week system.

We'd have to have accumulation to be on the low end of accumulation. The Festivus Miracle is still the winter storm to beat imby, 30F/DP 19F.

I need you in white out conditions if I have any hope of seeing flakes here. FWIW (and probably not much) the GFS says the late week event is a southern slider too.

My DP is now down to 21F. Dry air ftw.

Don't know what it means for your area, but I've been under virga all morning 25 miles NW of Philly.

That’s one of my little weather rules of thumb—if the NJ beaches get crushed, I expect to be high & dry back here.

30F/ DP 23F...nada here. We want S NJ/DE pics!

58F…fooking spring out there! Thought I heard a cicada.

Yeah, I’m thinking Kamu can start his snow pile tomorrow

What's keeping me sane is the fact that this was never our storm, it's always been modeled as a southern slider. We were under WSW's for most of those 80's heartbreakers. I guess it's just been the last 24hrs that there are hints we can get clipped. Honestly, I'd be happy just to see flakes in the air tomorrow. And if I can eek out a C-1, all the better. Given how abysmal this winter has been (and there are hints the pattern goes back to poo after mid Jan), I'll take whatever crumbs the snow demons toss my way.

Feb '89 too. I'm still not convinced us NW folks see much of anything tomorrow. I guess the one hope we have is we don't need some massive shift of 100 miles. Just a 20 mile jog could give us an inch or so. Fingers crossed!

Yes. I’d have to look into it more but it seems rare when the NJ beaches score and us NW peeps do too. I recall too many times when the AC boardwalk got buried and all I’m looking at is cirrus. Welp, if I can’t score, I sure hope this is a nice event for the NJ and DE posters!

Agreed. I think us NW weenies are still on the outside looking in.

Wow, had no idea…thanks! Anyway, ch10 guy seems unenthused, “maybe some light snow at the beaches, but nothing here in Philly.”

I don’t know how far NW this thing ticks, but it’s certainly a warm Atlantic to add plenty of fuel to whoever jackpots.

51F with drizzle. Don’t think I’ll get a mow in today. Happy New Year everyone!!
