@96, the 556 h5 thickness is roughly N&W of Scranton though STate college trough central wc ... The 0z had this contour from south of NYC to Philly to central md. Yucky yucky height rises...

Its like feast or famine..you need the christmas wave stronger, but a stronger christmas wave may argue for a warmer outcome. This would then set up the second wave because the confluence would be better. A weak christmas ever storm doesn't drag in the northern stream and colder air to supress the hgts...pick your poison...

height or thickness? I hope you mean the 500 mb height and not the 1000-500 mb thickness, haha

Yup, pretty much. Except, if we get the Christmas storm to set up the next one I'm afraid yet again something else will go wrong. I'll cash in my couple inches please.

what negativity? Most are just saying what the model is hsowing, i don't see that being negative, more realistic.

Everyone preaches on here about not jumping off ship from one model run, yet they do.

That's why I stay off accuweather forums, it's downright depressing over there. Mainly because its all people living in either New York or the coast, both places that need everything to work out perfectly for snow.

The way the models are still jumping around on the clipper I just don't even see it possible to accurately ponder what's gonna happen wed\thursday.

The euro last night trended warmer, the gfs runs of 0,6,and 12z all did. So did their respective ensembles.

So it's not 1 run. We call it how we see it. We'll still tune in for the next few runs. However, it's not a good trend. Call us pessimistic, negative whatever. We're not here to hurt your feelings, but we're also not gonna sugar coat it.

It's hard to decipher much on any forums, Philly this Philly that lol, I'm north of Allentown

Are you kidding? Tombo gives the PBP for mt holly warning area, thunder road hands out soundings for anyone who asks like a pedo handing out free candy around an elementary school. You just have to read trough the posts man.

That's the thing. This forum is populated largely by I-95'ers. Most of the discussion is going to center around that area. I just try to read between the lines as to what might happen up this way. It's why I made my post in OT about it. I'm too far from the core posters in both this forum and the Central PA forum. A veritable AMWX "no man's land".

That being said, back to the storm. Strangely, I wonder if this upcoming period is going to feature rain, cold, rain, cold, etc. It seems that lately it is VERY difficult to get a true snowSTORM around the region.

I would say since I started looking at models around 10 years ago the MRF/GFS/AVN whatever you want to call it is 90% of the time SE/SUPPRESSED 3-5 days before the event. The fact that its way west right now tells you something. I'm not saying hope isn't lost for interior, but anyone in coastal plain near the city needs to hope that this storm creates a nice 50/50 so that the new years storm develops a 2ndary farther south.

No you guys are pretty good with that , and what I've been seeing posted the Lehigh valley northward still looks in good shape, I'm just hoping for more snow and less ice

Its suppressed in a classic East Coast setup most of the time, however; in split flow patterns or primary-coastal transfers it can often be too far west or north.

Man I try to stay positive lol, last year there was no snow, which equals no money, it's my first year at Penndot and I wanna plow some snow haha

I'd say this is more of a rule for classic Miller A type storms. When you have a pretty tight consensus like you do right now I wouldn't be banking on too much of a late trend.
