The Euro run definitely eased some of my anxiety. It doesn’t look like a total whiff is a realistic solution here in the Lehigh Valley. Now the question is, is this a run of the mill 3-6” storm or will it be much more significant?

Next few runs are important, do we continue to tick back NW or do the models settle in from here on a solution? My guess is that the nw ticks aren't finished and the sweet spot ultimately ends up nw of 95 meaning you guys could end up more in the 4-8/6-12" range. We'll see though.

4th and goal for Brady on the 4. FG unit is coming onto the field. Should be an easy chip shot to take the lead here with under 5 to play. Time out taken by his opponent to try and ice the kicker. Not sure I agree with the time management call but we'll see. 

And here we go....for the lead (or the loss in our case)....here's the snap....the kick is up...AND IT'S BLOCKED!!!! THE FG IS BLOCKED!!! Recovered and downed by the defense on their own 17. Wow, what a turn of events here to stop the drive. Unbelievable.  This one is going to come down to the wire. 

We get the ball back with 4:20 to play tied at 24 and all Brady can do is sit on the sideline and hope his D holds and he gets a late shot at a drive. How fitting would this be for a rare upset for the DC/Philly teams. Wow! 

Ralph liked we talked about this morning it looks like the Euro is beginning to correct itself from its southwest bias?  However no doubt about it tonight's 0z runs will for sure seal the deal and what the models show tonight Euro included is most likely going to be the final outcome minus the fine details.

Oh and then we can start the discussion about banding, gravity waves, and also the all important snow ratios is it 10:1, 12:1, or 15:1?  I am thinking in this set up probably looking at 12:1 or 13:1 or so.

UKMET crushes most of the area. Very sharp cutoff north of the Lehigh Valley though. Allentown sees close to a foot while Jim Thorpe and Hazleton only get an inch or so.

Yeah, definitely would suck for us up here in the Southern Poconos.

Just a heads up but HM on phillywx mentioned in a post last night saying ratios may actually not be good. He said it was too soon to say, but just throwing it out there. Has to do with the Fgen forcing etc I don’t want to copy his post without his permission though since it wasn’t a call just interesting discussion

I was going to post such a point.  The coastals typically don't have great ratios.  The WAA out front would, but we don't see much of that up here.  With the coastal and the winds associated with it I would think 10:1 is likely.

I know very little about these things but wouldn't there be slightly better ratios under the ccb? I totally get 10:1 ratios outside of it but I thought you'd see 13-15:-1 under the ccb?

I think it really depends on the winds both at the surface and aloft (among other things)

Great spot with the low location. Definitely further nw than the eps imo Get that baby 50 miles nw and it's game on for a lot of us.

If you're thinking 4-6" is a good total and the duration is 36+hrs....that's like light snow/heavy flurries? Or are you thinking sleet...breaks in action etc?

I just mean it's too early to know where the heaviest banding is going to set up so 4-6" is a good baseline. If it actually snows 36 hours then yeah I expect way higher totals, foot plus, but it's too early to be expecting those totals.

This is dated, but i didn't see it posted here. Mt Holly first call. I wonder if we see them tick up a bit in the next update. Thought the map was perfect though, well done Mt Holly crew!

I have to disagree. I think this map is comically low and is supported by no model. It's straight up misleading. Especially for I-95. Solid model consensus on 10-16".

I agree to disagree. There is still a fair amount of spread and mt holly has done that in the past and been burned. Better to start conservative and increase as we get closer. Remember watches haven't even been hoisted yet, we are still a good 60 hours out from first snow. Things can change. Plus that map is from this morning when things were even more uncertain. I bet it increases in the afternoon update. Mt holly is one of the best, I trust them.
