Maybe...but I remember during last week's storm that my actual temp was significantly lower than what the GFS was showing. 

I really hope so and the GFS has a warm bias, so you definitely have some reason to think it a tick or 2 colder.  March is just tough, and antecedent air mass is ok...not great.  Dynamics are driving the snow bus for this one.  

12k for comparisons sake.

I’m chasing this thing tomorrow. I may be in the area pending how bad it gets. Either way, watching radar will be fun tomorrow. I’m getting ready for work. I’ll try to look at things tonight and make a post. This could be a massive surprise for many in here. Rates will be crazy under the CCB. 2”/hr stuff likely. Crazy H7/H85 fronto over S and SEPA

Notice how Eric has the mix line way N&W of what most do...good to keep in mind going into this. 

I think a lot of that is at beginning,  when we start getting heavy rates snow will be piling up.  That map is a good map. Heavier totals northeast of us.

Gfs could be right wth thermals but I would not use it.  Snow coming down heavily we will be fine.

yeah i agree that with great rates, we overcome.  I'm surely not trying to debbie.  But if dynamics dont pan out, it may be trouble for some.  thats all.

Oh I agree a lot could go wrong with this.  I am not comfortable at all with this set up.  I do think the way things are shaping up we have our best shot of the season. If it doesn't work out at least it kept us occupied for awhile.

That is funny; Harrisburg is in a WSW, Enola/Lemoyne/Wormlysburg doesn't even have a WWA. Something's screwy. Enola has 2-5" snow in the grid, Harrisburg 3-6".

I'm sure CTP will be filling in the edges with advisories, they still have a little bit of lead time left to put those in.. probably later this afternoon. The gradient is going to be sharp but not THAT sharp. Plus a couple bands of snow associated with the parent system will also be traversing PA west to east as well. Most models today (other than the NAM) seem to consolidate the precip shield for a brief time over all of central PA. Models like the RGEM have a second snow max/heavy snow band in the central counties which would easily warrant advisories there if that came to fruition. Pretty good consensus on track being right on the coastline, which typically is good for a big event for all of us. But coastal's a bit of a late bloomer so intense snowfall won't reach back into PA as far as it probably could. Water has been plenty warm off the coast so there will be plenty of fuel to blow this coastal up pretty rapidly. I wouldn't worry about temps where those intense bands develop.  

I think CTP will add in 1-2 tiers of counties of advisories west of the warnings and probably install the Laurels and maybe Clearfield/Elk/Cameron/etc as well for the system plus the NW flow/upslope regime that will be present in the wake of the significant coastal low.
