Already ruled out again for Sunday. 

I honestly feel bad for people who invested a crap ton of money on this team.

Meanwhile, Caleb Martin is out there running his ass off with a hand on his injured back.

They look to win tonight.

McCain looked really good again tonight.

This guy can play & should only get better.

He has been amazing. Incredible poise and confidence for a 20 year old. 

My biased disdain for Embiid aside, it's interesting how much more confident that McCain is in crunch time compared to Embiid. McCain wants the ball AND delivers.

Really nice rain right now. Radar is empty lol

The 30 minute trip up to the 3100’ summit at Blue Knob certainly did not disappoint. Got an 11 and a 12” measurement. Drifting had been pretty significant up there during the height of the event.

0z GFS has a moderate wave bringing snow Thanksgiving night to eastern PA.

[Bubbler86]

34 this Am.  The temp crested at 32 yesterday making it the first fully subfreezing day of the season in Rou.   Nothing like that  in the near future now as the upper 40's-60's prevail for several days.   6Z GFS has a rain/snow mix late Turkey into BF then real cold settles over the area.   If we miss out on precip Thanksgiving the drought maps may start getting darker.   All my snow is gone :(.

The 6z GFS & 0z Euro are starting to agree on the general idea for late this week.

Both have a weak lead wave that brings some rain & snow on Thanksgiving. Then a stronger wave right behind it brings heavier precip mostly in the form of snow. The low then jumps to the coast Friday am as it heads northeast.

The GFS overall has a more minor system that brings a stripe of Advisory snow to mainly southeast PA. 
The Euro brings Warning level snow to most of CTP, with Advisory amounts in the LSV.

Either way at this point, it appears that a system is likely over the Thanksgiving period, but impacts still need resolved.

Plenty enough of a signal to keep our interest. 6z GFS again shows the dual wave solution so those who want turk day snow get it, and those who want to wait till black friday....get their chance too .  Overnights def show the event, but diverge which one and when as icon is thurs and CMC is Friday.  To me its them trying to figure out which wave to focus on, as you can see 2 areas of energy on maps.  plenty of time to sort out, but fun to watch.

.34 precipitation yesterday. No snowfall (snow in the air here) top of mountain has snow on it that elevation is around 1100ft. Temp never got out of the 30's yesterday. With yesterdays precip. that gives me 1.06 for the week and 1.67 for the month and 42.20 for the year.

[pawatch]

35 degrees this morning. We picked up .22” of rain yesterday with a trace of snow.

Some nice pictures Mag!

Sorta losing hope down here. 13/14 winter was the only winter I  can remember going back through my mental records starting the winter of 72/73, that storms progged to hit, then modeled to come north, ended up coming back south. Iow, they almost always trend north and this one is no different so far. So unless we can pull a 13/14 winter miracle, it's looking like mainly a cold rain or yesterday redux imby.

Obviously, weenie hope springs eternal, so I'll keep following it until the hopefully not bitter end, but odds ain't good right now imho.

Ended up with an event total of 1.76" of which, one inch fell as snow, at least what had accumulated. It may have been more before and after.

Wow you cashed in good on precip. Now there should be a little more water available to get a tanker load down to the 'ville before the ground freezes.

Watching 3+" of snow melt in the middle of the night has me in good shape right now.

Glad to see you cash in on the snow. Was Blizz down last night trying to preserve your snowpack?

There is likely going to be a solid stripe of snow in our region.

As always, who wins is still to be determined.

On to 12z we go…

Yep...and that's what worries me.

6z Eps got a touch warmer and snowfall line shifted north again. Trend needs to stop and start turning the other way.
