Horst: My big concern from the start has been a changeover to sleet across SE PA. Step outside and you'll feel a SE breeze off the ocean...already!

But as per the 18z on Pivotal only one panel at 825 gets close. see below

700s fine

925's fine

I'll ok w/ that

Ugh!  That's a horrible presentation even if the idea of warm air aloft into Berks and Lancaster isn't.  So...  should I prepare for 10-12 inches or "some wintry mix".?

I don't know the guy but that map reads to me: "We expect a general 8-12 inch snowfall over the Lower Susquehanna Valley with the higher amounts to the east".  Not unreasonable.  I don't know why that requires a map to show that the 8-10 vs. 10-12 inch line will perfectly bisect their two biggest viewer areas in Harrisburg and York so that anything 8-12 is a big win.  Lancaster and Reading might mix and they're not our big fan base so let's just say that they might have a major to crippling snowstorm or "some wintry mix".  And apparently there is a very small Bermuda triangle in southern York County where good and evil are so diametrically opposed that the precipitation parts to prevent anything from reaching the ground.

posting a map that says "wintery mix" while Chester county is under a blizzard warning.

either he has a crystal ball or almost all other guidance is wrong.  with a storm of this magnitude...quite misleading.

Not arguing, but thats just my opinion.

welcome to the forum

Good luck.

from the bgm afd:

One final note on this storm. The CIPS analog system produces
the Valentines day 2007 storm as the number one analog, and the
1993 superstorm as number 2. Both of these storms produced
widespread 1 to 2 foot accumulations across our area with
localized areas of 30+ inches.

CTP's WSW text now says 16-20".

This reminds me of last year when they kept updating mais adding another 4-6" until they eventually got to 26-34". 



The HiRes NAM and its parallel are quite insistent with that deform band over us. The 20Z HRRR has 11-13" of snow by 10 am

I agree, they have been bumping it up all day. Their latest "most likely" map for Harrisburg is 18 inches &  "potential for this much" map now says 27 inches!!!

STEVE iRWIN'S VOICE: this is the current state of the snow plows in pennDot's control. you can see by the track that some of migrated from the west to the east to be apart of the once in a decade snow event. They will migrate home after they have finished their tasks.

It's becoming more of an annual migration haha. I can't believe the Sus Valley is staring down potentially another top ten event right after last year. 

Speaking of migrations haha, we should probably move to an obs thread soon.

I wonder if NortheastPAWx is able to come home for this storm. It looks like at long last that the Scranton/WB area is going to be part of ground zero for this. 

Nope, I'm stuck. Even if I wanted to I doubt I could...only getting the one day off (benefits of being a NYC Public Schools teacher!). Fortunately, my part of NYC might be in a great position to get high double-digits if we avoid the mix like models are hinting - might be confined to Brooklyn, Queens, and Lower Manhattan as far as we are concerned.
