It has snow falling almost all day tomorrow. Yes sir, it sure does. The Euro is the best model run yet for the LSV & most of CTP. Solid Advisory level event if this verified.

Happens very often in these setups. Which model is showing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An inch or two of snow and no one will say much but a plow-able snow will bring about complaints. I'm not going to lie a couple days ago I thought our only hope was the waa precip. The way it looks now I was wrong. Then again the models could be baiting us in only to rip our hearts out tomorrow. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zone's say rain/snow showers ending by 1PM with a high of 41. Tomorrow is still a fairly busy travel day. They must have read your post. @NWSStateCollege 42m #pawx Sleet and freezing rain are moving to the east this afternoon. However, the precipitation may stall before it exits the northeastern mountains and Poconos. It should then turn to snow, and accumulate through the night. pic.twitter.com/53SXOm2ow3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 500MB maps the last few days have screamed for attention though I still worry about it being too warm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be happy just to see some snow in December. Our December's have really sucked in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero expectations (and no one else in our immediate area should) so with that, it will be fun to see if we have a few passing rain/snow showers, a few inches of snow, or something in between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Back in Altoona from camp for a few hours. The area of precip I went through coming from Huntingdon County turned to snow and there's a light accumulation back in town. Ice was relatively minor today, mainly just on the ridgetops by the afternoon. Tomorrow looks interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 The differences between the State College & Mt. Holly forecast offices are striking. Western Chester & Berks counties are under Winter weather advisories for 3 to 5 inches of snow. Meanwhile, CTP only has 1 inch or less forecast for Lancaster & Lebanon counties. Mt. Holly has 4 inches for Reading & 2 for Coatesville. CTP basically ignored the snow last week when many places in the LSV got their first inch or 2 of snow, so maybe things will work out better for us if they ignore tomorrow as well. It’s just hard to believe that they ignored completely the 12z model suite that showed multiple models giving the LSV a couple of inches of snow. Maybe they will wait until after 0z runs tonight before they make a call for the LSV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you...I guess I take pretty much any snow map with a grain of salt and nothing more than that. @daxx and I have had a few "discussions" on snow maps.

Yes, but the general public & businesses need something better to go on. It’s not really a dependable forecast if they wait until the event is underway to make a call. I understand that’s it’s best to make a conservative forecast. However, if the 12z models are close to correct, & we get a few inches of snow tomorrow, then most people are going to be caught off guard.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear...I'm not talking about CTP's maps, I'm talking about snow maps from models. I think @daxx actually kept track of how much snow he was to get based on one of the weather models last year (might have been the Euro) and it was over 300".

Itstrainingtime Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 CTP was bullish on their maps more than once last year and really got burned. The 1/20 storm comes to mind. They were calling for 8' - 10" in Harrisburg the morning of the event, I think they ended up with 3" or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they look pretty and all but by the end of the season you will most like have far less than what was shown. Unless you live on tug hill or any of the snow belts. Anyway 18z Euro is not what we saw at 12z. We still see some snow but nothing like the 12z had. North and east still looks good. Need to start looking at short term models now.

Bubbler86 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 @CarlislePaWx will like the 0z nam's predict of 4-8" in central Cumberland County.
