Dryslot nerves starting a bit but I do know enough that a transfer would stop that.

Transfer is beginning in earnest over eastern NC/SC. Pressures down below 1000mb I believe. Snow should fill back in as that low takes over and heads north. It's also good news since an earlier take-over would stop warm air intrusion dead in its tracks.

new NWS discussion

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

SNOW RAPIDLY MOVED FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OVER CENTRAL PA THIS

MORNING. STILL HAD NOT REACHED THE NORTHERN TIER COUNTIES AS OF 1

PM BUT SHOULD REACH THE NY BORDER BETWEEN 1 AND 130 PM THIS AFTERNOON.

HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION OVER MOST OF THE REGION EXPECTED FROM ABOUT

NOW UNTIL 6-8 PM.

LOW-LEVEL COLD AIR...IN PART DUE TO EVAPORATIVE COOLING...HAS

SNOW. THE MODELS ALL SUGGEST THE SOUTHERN TIER AND THE SOUTHEAST

SHOULD MIX WITH ICE PELLETS THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN WITH SOME

FREEZING RAIN. WHERE THE 850 HPA WET-BULB ZERO GETS TO THIS

EVENING WILL DICTATED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OVER CENTRAL AREAS. LOTS OF

UNCERTAINTY. BUT SOUTHEAST SHOULD MIX WITH FREEZING RAIN AND THEN

LANCASTER COUNTY SHOULD GO TO ALL RAIN...MOST OF DAUPHIN AND YORK

COUNTIES TOO SHOULD CHANGE TO ALL RAIN.

THE ICE PELLETS SHOULD MAKE IT AS FAR NORTH AS ALTOONA-STATE

COLLEGE AND WILLIAMSPORT. MUCH NORTH AND WEST OF THERE SHOULD STAY

ALL SNOW. FREEZING RAIN SHOULD GET AS FAR WEST AS LEWISTOWN.

THE RAP CONTINUES TO SHOW A DRY SLOT COMING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST

THIS EVENING AND AN IMPLIED COMMA HEAD TO BRING MORE SNOW FROM

SOUTHWESTERN AREAS...NEAR JOHNSTOWN AROUND 10 PM WHICH MOVES UP

THROUGH CLINTON AND NORTHERN LYCOMING COUNTIES BY 5 AM. AHEAD OF

THIS FEATURE THE PRECIPITATION COULD TAPER OFF THIS EVENING WITH THE

DRY SLOT MOVING INTO SOUTHERN PA AROUND 7-8 PM AND INTO CENTRAL PA

AFTER MIDNIGHT. THIS COULD PRODUCE SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE IN

SOUTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS WHEN THE SEEDER-FEEDER EFFECT IS LOST.

THE COMMA HEAD IN THE 4KM NAM AND 13KM RAP WILL BRING THE SECOND

SURGE OF SNOW WHICH WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED OVERNIGHT. TEMPS

MAINLY 20S NORTH AND 30S SOUTH AND PERHAPS SOME MID-40S SNEAK

INTO LANCASTER COUNTY.

Jm -Thanks for the update on the 2nd low! Sounds like things for once, are looking up for central Pa.

2 years ago I bought a new snow gauge. This will be it's first snow. :santa:

Fireplace & watching it snow.

Down to 26.8F. Pressure 29.92" and falling rapidly (-0.070"/hr). Windy. Moderate snow now. Sounds like ground reports of sleet approaching mason-dixon line. Wonder how rapidly that will advance northward?

>>FWIW--via ChescoPaWx, JB tweeted Harrisburg area gets 4 to 8" with some sleet but no freezing rain. Would be fascinating if we remain 100% frozen for the event around here!
