Good morning and Happy Friday! We've got some great news: we're expecting at least 5 straight days of sunshine starting tomorrow. The next chance for rain/snow isn't until next Friday! #PAwx pic.twitter.com/Rfmv4zEQYt

Eric Horst tweeted this morning that we likely will have 11 consecutive dry days - last time we had that was January 2018.

The sky caved at about the 20k foot level this afternoon with one heck of a cirrus storm ongoing. 

Hate to miss a big one like that but I’m pretty encouraged with the pattern so far this winter if we can keep the charged up southern jet. 

With the 10.5” storm in mid November I’m sitting at 13.5” total for the season so far.. can’t complain about that.

My wife just saw Jim Cantore...and never said a word to him. She said that "weather weenies" were lining up for pics with him. One thing that is pretty cool...she said she watched Jim help push stranded cars in Boone earlier today. 

Just under 20" down there. I guess they might get several more inches tonight when the upper level energy dives through. 

Finished with about 22" in Boone. Wife is out on a Jeb walk right now.

It's easier when it's more than 50 miles away. It sucks whenever returns dissipate as soon as it hits your county line.

Some bitterness over the missed opportunity for snow around the different subforums the last 24 hours. As a self-proclaimed weenie I get it...though I believe a lot of us have developed a sense of entitlement. Growing up in this area during the 70s meant going through a lot of heartache. Other than the February 1983 storm we had a lot of lean years in the 70s and 80s watching our snows either flip over to rain OR watching a fair number of "southern sliders" as they are called today.

I don't have data on how often it happened but memory recalls enough misses south that would send a lot a weenies running for therapy today.

We might have a repeat this weekend - we stay too warm and the SE cool enough for another round.

It seems like the incredible pattern for late December and beyond is now somewhat up in the air. Horst today said he thinks the entire last half of the month is above normal temps.

I like the new positive you. 

I'm ready to close the shades for a bit and see what things look like in 10-14 days. Hopefully things turn around when we get ready to flip the calendar.

What memories! Some of the most incredible snowfall rates during the mid to late morning hours, and my only Christmas ever spent in the dark. We went nearly 14 hours without power that day.

lol.  I may have made progress on the belly and the grey a bit, but I've got a lot of work to do. 

Mind you this was merely for fun, and to just cast a bit of "its gonna be ok" into the warmish period coming up, as it looks to be transient and a "no need for toasters" kinda warmup. 

You guys talking about 2015 made me start to twitch/tick all over again.  Hope i never relive a Christmas like that in PA.  It's just not right.
