Hey Matt. Hope everything up your way is going well. All of the Ville Met majors are geared up and ready. I'm liking the LNS area for what Eric has at 16-24". I'm gonna literally be stuck in ground zero in Germantown MD NW of DC proper. This is a meteorological marvel.

 

Enjoy the storm brother. Going to be one to remember down there (and in southern tier counties up here too).

So maybe I'm hallucinating, but the primary seems to be north of where proffer, and the precip field seems to be expanding further north quicker than expected .

Can a met chime in on if I'm just seeing what I want?

I don't think the primary is north but the precip field certainly is taking advantage of the warm air advection overrunning phase.  Flakes should start to reach the surface in DC here soon, about 2 hours ahead of schedule.  The further north this precip shield can get now to erode the dry air the better before coastal low development.

 

Johnstown airport is reporting light snow

Have to get back to work but the .25 runs roughly from high point NJ to near State College then southwest to just north of the sw corner of PA

1" runs kinda along 78 to just north of harrisburg then to near somerset or just north of there

2" makes it a few miles into PA near 83 and just west of there.

INTERESTING NOTE IS THE NEAR-NESS OF THUNDER IN THE DAY2 OUTLOOK.
THE ENERGETIC/DYNAMIC SYSTEM IS DOUBTLESSLY CAPABLE OF INTENSE
BANDING AND SLANTWISE INSTABILITY...BUT SPC IS ALSO PINNING SOME
VERTICAL INSTABILITY OVER SERN PA AS WELL. SO THUNDER-SNOW
LOVERS...BE PREPARED TO GET YOUR CAMERA ROLLING. BUT WITH RATES
OF 0.5-0.75 INCHES OF LIQUID PROGGED TO FALL INSIDE SHORT 3HR
BLOCKS ACROSS THE SRN/SERN PARTS OF THE AREA IN THE MIDST OF THE
STORM...WE WILL NEED VERY HIGH INSTABILITY TO REALIZE THOSE
VALUES.

THE WIND DOES SEEM TO BE A FACTOR IN THE EAST...WHERE SUSTAINED
SPEEDS OF 15-20MPH AND GUSTS OF 25-30MPH WILL BE COMMON. THIS IS
ONE REASON FOR PUTTING SCHUYLKILL CO INTO THE WARNING. THE
ELEVATIONS THERE MAY ALSO ALLOW FOR MORE SNOW THAN CURRENTLY FCST.
TALK OF BLIZZARD WARNING IS WARRANTED...BUT HAVE CHOSEN TO KEEP IT
AT A WSW FOR NOW IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH OUR NEIGHBORING
OFFICES.
