Yea we do need to start addressing this thing tomorrow lol. I think there's more uncertainty with that than Wednesday's event, which could be problematic because the timing of this is right at morning rush tomorrow. That combined with being the season's first chance at widespread snow is likely why they're pulling trigger on advisories for a general 1-2" in the LSV counties. There could be a ribbon of snow that doubles up on that if some of these amped meso models have their way. CTP discussion references good lift in the DGZ, which will ramp ratios. Limiting factor at least in the initial stages of the precip arriving probably will be B-layer temps probably being a bit warm. Precip may start as rain in the LSV. If the rates are there, look out once stuff starts accumulating.

The 18z NAMs are upping the ante for southern PA and northern MD.

@psuhoffman , Please let us know your thoughts on the appetizer event for tomorrow.

Incredible...both 18Z Nam's have my snowfall at 5" again...second time in a row.  All the globals had given up on tomorrow with none of them having more than 1" in the LSV.  Shouldn't we expect the NAM to be the better model 24 hours out??

No idea what to expect here out of tomorrow but I’d consider a quick 1-2” a win.

Snowboard has been deployed in the yard. I handmade this thing out of some misc scrap wood around my shop room last winter and never got to use it.

Cool little board. What happens when the snow gets above the orange maker

Starting to feel pretty confident a) MDT gets 12”c out of this and b) Voyager is gonna beat us all on totals, I think the coal region is gonna get deformed to death.

Well, I hope you're right. It would be the first true deform band I've seen since I've lived up this way. The last one I saw was the epic January 96 one when I lived in Bethlehem. What's nice is that, at least so far, everyone seems to be getting in well with this one!

The biggest plus of all is that I'm still in the process of filling out and submitting applications and likely will be able to watch this one from the house.
