Yeppers, looks like we could get a quick dusting to some areas 1/2" by morning no doubt.. Looking at HRRR seems like tomorrow late afternoon to evening could be when the heavist bands setup.

I think we will be in the same setup as last week, Snows during the day, but doesn't stick. Best chance for sticking will be after sunset.

Nice band has developed and is about to drop through.

May drop a quick 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

Not much behind it though.

Like everyone else I believe the lake effect will be better tomorrow but will depend upon whether you get under a band or not. Tomorrow evening should be best.

Again, North and East are the places to be in these events.. I think this will be almost like last week, except it will shut off quicker as last week it snowed basically the whole week. Looks like Tuesday afternoon stuff could become more scattered.

As I said, tomorrow after sunset looks to be the best. Until then, probably a dusting or inch here and there.

I agree.

It seems when we get these type of events the second night after rush hour we get some steadier lake effect .

If it holds true it would be tomorrow night and probably a solid 1-2 with points north and east a little more.

I'm getting some moderate snow right now. The radar just keeps filling in every time it looks like it's going to break up. I have about an inch on the ground as of now. I definitely already have more than I got last week and we still have tomorrow (well technically the rest of today) to get some more. I'm only up late tonight because I'm on vacation this week so I'm getting lucky catching this right now.

Call me crazy, but I have been disappointed thus far.. Only have an 1" here and its hardly snowing. Looking at radar alot of breaks upstream.

I am surprised there were so many delays. Took the 45 minute track to work in Ebensburg and all the roads were wet. Crews did a great job.

2" and mid January cold out there. brrrr in the South Hills. I expect another 1-2" of LES for me and that will close this baby out. Keep an eye on next weekend. We have a much better setup, a West based block and a Low tracking up the coast like last year. temps should be good. All the models are on to something right now, so we have something to track at least. You just know we are going to have a Late December\Early January thaw having people asking where Winter went.

Thing that worries me is that we don't do well with a straight coastal: we need a primary that transfers to the coast. That was what happened with the big feb storm last year.

That is true, with lots of days and model runs does look like a classic Miller A, a low coming out of the gulf and riding a front up. I saw it stated that we sometimes do ok with Miller B storms but Miller A's not so much(Like you stated). This last storm looked to be a something of a different animal, pretty much a straight march across the lower 48, warm air advection to start, a massive dryslot and now 4-6" of powdery snow for us and bitter Late January cold. Ick, you can keep this Mr....

Also, from what dt is saying it seems like it either goes out to sea or up the coast.... Not much room for a west trend....
