Why? Temps below freezing at start, been cold lately, early morning.

Not sure where that is coming from, it's plenty cold. I even saw a few ponds in Snyder County that retained a skim of ice all day today. It has been cold enough recently to cool the ground and pavement significantly.

Already down to 26° in Bellefonte.

I'm gonna call underperformed on this one. My guess:

York: 1.4"

MDT: 1.8"

LNS: 2.1"

UNV: .9"

.5"-1" seems about what will happen up here in State College but I wouldn't be surprised to see little more than a dusting with how weak precip looks to be. With CTP seeming confident that temps will cooperate at least down to the Harrisburg area the issue looks to be if you guys can get under some decent banding with this quick hitter.

Still at camp til later tomorrow, which with the spotty cell reception and limited internet is why i havent really posted on this storm all weekend. Hoping to see a couple inches of snow in the woods tomorrow morning. Looks like you south central and sus valley guys should have a decent snowfall to start things off on the right foot. From what I've seen I'm thinking general 2-3 inch amounts in the advisory area and perhaps up to 4 or 5 inches if we can get some banding established. Back in the Altoona/ State College corridor I think could see an inch or two with a chance we could see better banding.

This has bust written all over it. Hate to say it. Already 33 degrees will be mostly rain. Wow was convinced it was going to achieve but I was fooled again. Sorry for the banter , but needed to vent

Nothing says "I'm a good poster," like calling a bust before an event starts. And I don't see how this event could ever be called a bust to begin with. "OH NO I DIDN'T GET THE 1-2" OF SNOW I WAS FORECASTED TO RECEIVE. BUST BUST BUST."

Why is everything always called a bust before anything even happens?

Sandy was a "bust," this system is a "bust," can we just relax and see where mother nature takes us?

This.

Since there isn't a mod in this subforum, I recommend using the report function to alert us to these "calling bust" posts so we can remove them.

Yes, absolutely. Thanks, Adam. Think some people are going to find themselves without a weather forum if they don't change.

Back to weather, have light snow and 30.7, with .6 on the snow board.
