I'd leave Thursday, the roads will be horrible friday and saturday. You'll see plenty of snow! I live in Pocahontas County and unfortunately have to leave thurs to get back for the holidays. Can't risk leaving on Friday, the weather in the highlands is pretty unforgiving.

Nah, It wont be that bad. I used to live in Western MD, Im used to the LES blowing snow all over the place. WVDOT isnt like VDOT say in Richmond where they dont know how to handle it lol

I'm headed to McHenry Friday afternoon and really hope the forecast holds, even a little. I know the signals have been there for LES for a few days, so I'm pretty optimistic. I can't offer a thing in the way of analysis, but promise to post a few observations and pics over the weekend.

Exactly. It's happened numerous times. I've seen storms modeled in Minneapolis at this range end up becoming suppressed southern sliders where we still miss out on a storm but for completely opposite reasons.

Agreed. Ian's weather memory is like that guy in memento. :-)

Awesome! I'm off so likely to check it out. NWS Blacksburg issued a WSWa for Greenbrier and Summers for about the same thing so won't have to go far to see whiteness! :)

Yeah but when most models at least indicate a major storm then to see this run is somewhat surprsing.

maybe.. there's so little skill at that range either way--it could be totally meaningless.

huge run to run changes and yet people analyze every panel at d7-10+ anyway

I don't understand how anybody can be excited or deflated with the way models are swinging widely, especially the GFS. Odds still favor us getting the shaft, but I wouldn't be surprised if we got some unexpected love right after Christmas.

You know for sure this is going to be a snowstorm. You will be in Florida and i just found out this afternoon i probably have to be in Israel. If this turns out to be a snowstorm i will be pissed.
