Ill post this here too before I go to bed, this was from Accuwx forums from a respectable poster

Man, I don't think you guys appreciate the evolution of this storm over the last 3-4 days. This is actually really close to being a monster storm, particularly for the interior. There is a bit of 50/50 blocking because of the obnoxious PV. When you look at hours 84-96, if the vort areas could just condense we'd have quite the storm. It eventually all comes together and it bombs out to 968 mb, but that's the potential if it all comes together at the right time.

Every day the forecast plots have changed to show something else. Looking forward to see the new wrinkles that tomorrow brings. No one should be worried about not being in the jackpot zone or seeing specific p-types this far out. Lots of things to iron out.

Euro coming in all snow for everyone just judging by the text. QPF isn't really all that impressive (generally 0.3"-0.4" total for most of everyone) but holy crap is it a cold event. All of UNV's 0.41" falls with 2m temps between 16 and 19ºF. IPT is even colder than that, and Sus Valley locations are just a few degrees warmer.

I think you used the number 1,000 for dramatic effect lol. 1,000 days sounds like a lot longer than the couple of years it really is.

Example:

That seems a helluva lot longer than if he had just put "4 years".

"Chuck Noland was here 4 years? Pshht. So was <insert POTUS here>."

LOL, true. We had an exact day count on a graphic, which is why I mentioned it. One thousand-something days is much more impactful than saying 3.5 years or whatever it is exactly. Many of the people who watch us wouldn't be sure if that long of a span with no 4" snows is normal or not, whereas thousand something days is automatic in your mind.

Seeing that the Euro is the more SE and colder solution should give us hope as the we often like the look of the other models and await the doctors final call every 12 hours.  With all of the players coming onto the field for the weekend storm, it sounds like a potential doozy, and at least until 12z runs....i like where we stand on this.  

 

Fun to watch (especially at a time that many of us thought winter was going to be far away from these parts.  The drive to work was beautiful this morning with snow clinging everywhere.  I hope everyone feels the love for the weekend or the 19th storms.  Better get a base down to survive the pre christmas warmup....

Interesting contrast in temperatures this morning clearly show where there is snowcover...York is at 10, Lancaster is 15, Middletown is at 26.

i think the ASOS at MDT is drunk this morning... I had less snow than the airport and it was 20 at my house... looking other personal stations around the region the airport was the warmest by a few degrees

I was surprised. I live 15 miles southeast of the airport and I had 14 degrees. I would have thought the airport would have been closer to 20.

Haven't we for years questioned the numbers that come from MDT. regardless if its temp, rain or snowfall.

Does anyone know if the euro models KLNS? and/or does anyone know of free access to euro output for KMDT and KRDG?

yea... light southwesterly wind could be moving air from the warmer river to cause it to read higher... rain and snowfall are not as much of an issue as temperatures when the river is influencing and wind because they placed the ASOS close to a flood levy near the river

Thanks. just under 0.4". I'm guessing the two numbers after the date are the min and max (in C) for the period? That's about 4.5" for LNS, give or take.

 

Is the data behind a pay wall?
