heres a little closer view.  based on surface maps, GFS finally caught on to the paltry NW quad snow and started to correct.

I'm willing to bet that if the GFS holds position tonight, we see a nice expansion of snow in much of PA,

I cant wait.  Taking my bro and his wife out for 50th bday celebration (they share same Bday Feb 25).

Hes a snow hound like me.  Much to talk about.  My wife is up to her ears in weather talk.  I'm drivin her and the fam nuts.....but thats how I roll.

Take a look at the latest German 18z model posted in the Mid-Atlantic forum thread.

It puts down 30-40 millimeters of precip to the entire Susquehanna valley, which equates to about 1.2 to 1.5 inches of precip- thanks to google for the conversion calculator!

Do your own math for the snow amounts from that amount of liquid- pick your favorite ratio!

I don't know what its skill score is, but I've seen the mid-Atlantic guys post it, but who cares, it's another model showing us a win!

I'm kinda surprised NWS CWA's to our north and east are already throwing up watches and CTP on south hasn't yet. Even BUF has their entire CWA under a watch. I guess we are getting towards about 48 hours or so until this potential high impact event is on the doorstep. On the other hand, I agree with CTP withholding putting anything up yet. I wouldn't anticipate they do so until after they see some or all of 0z guidance tonight.. though I just saw they upgraded their graphics with big numbers. I'm still leery of the far north central counties west of US 15 near the border as well as maybe Elk and Cameron counties seeing solid warning snows although the models have been lingering snowfall over PA after the main coastal is off to the northeast. 

New CTP graphics

Most likely snowfall:

Potential for this much:

The kiddies  mentioned a "state of emergency". None issued yet. Of course, their entire following are now tweeting and fbing that a state of emergency has been issued.  also they posted their first guess. that was in line with the NWS.

I think our winter storm warning snow fall accumulation numbers are higher. Often times I see that we are the last to have warnings issues (although this is one of the rare times that we were first). OR I can see both PHL and CTP are warned and we are not.

FWIW Dt doesnt believe the euro

EUROPEAN MODEL ENSEMBLES SHOWS THAT THE OPERATIONAL EURO which at 1pm took the LOW waaay East ... and hence a lot LESS SNOW for all of the Northeast US-- IS BOGUS... fake, spurious, false, , deceptive; counterfeit, feigned; , pseudo, fictitious.
