900-950mb is torched between 50-56hrs. All the way to N Bucks/Montco. Hope it's wrong and mesos not honing in on that sneaky warm layer.

by the time 925mb temps get to 0c it says 3" of snow has fallen across at least Chesco....not that anything it shows from this distance is likely reality....we wait!!

GFS and ECM in agreement for a snowy week 7-11" area wide by next Saturday evening in two events.

When is the last time these two of oddballs agreed?

 

At 5+ days, too?  Good signs, hopefully.  Haven't had a snowfall that high since 2016.
