For perspective, NWS gives us a 13% chance of 18”+ at PIT. I think I saw the Steelers have a 14% chance of winning.

Kelce and Tyreek were both limping off the field last week, if the defense can push the screws a little, we should do a lot better.

I’m starting to worry that what looked like something special on the overnight model runs the morning of the event is now just going to be a garden variety WSW snowfall.

The only model that is truly awful is the NAM, though the euro is actually not great too. 
 

The 3km NAM gives a foot and so does just about everything else with the best snows only showing 25-50 miles west. 
 

We probably see 10-12 inches regardless with I think honestly a potential for 15-18  with a small shift.

We need that low to jump east and not just go right through west central PA. If that low can jump or track even a little further east than modeled then we will get hammered.

And don’t forget….it’s gonna be cold the next couple weeks so the snow won’t be going anywhere. :shiver:

40 and a chance of rain on Wednesday. A garden variety 6-8” event will be almost gone in areas that get any sunshine at all in 3 days.

yep and hopefully mother nature does what it wants and gives us a surprise 

She's done it before. 

 

Also something to consider, and I do not know the answer -> How well do the models do with Low placement when directly traveling over the apps? Do orographic features cause the models to struggle with exact placement and transfer?

Funny I was just thinking the same thing. The apps could cause the low to jump east and bullseye us but that's wayyyyyu above my knowledge and pay grade. I just drive a big red truck around.
