Who pays for Sixers tickets? God awful 

They are an embarrassment.

Interesting contrast between Philly's 2 big winter teams - one has talent but very little heart. The other has minimal talent but plays it's ass off every night.

I know which team gets my money.

I think given the lack of a surface high to the north and much antecedent cold air available the best play for this potential Thanksgiving system is for a weaker/more suppressed wave. The 0z NAM was pretty close to delivering what the Euro has been advertising with a stronger wave that lifts the boundary just a little bit too much. Thus it gave probably about as good a solution as you could ask for in this setup for the central/northern counties. NAM solution kind of splits the difference between that and the 0z GFS and RGEM so far, which are weaker and more suppressed but still get some precip into PA. With either scenario temps are going to be very marginal and may still not be cold enough in the southern tier and Sus Valley even with the farther south/weaker scenario. Temps will be seasonably chilly after the frontal passage tomorrow night thru Thanksgiving but late November seasonably chilly is borderline with delivering snow. We need anomalously chilly.. which is only coming behind the system. 

Beyond that lies one of the colder starts to December we’ve seen in awhile, with solidly below average temps looking quite likely. Deep cyclonic flow centered south of Hudson Bay is going to light up the Lakes all the way through the holiday weekend. Flow initially looks okay to get our favored Laurels areas (Friday night) but then mostly appears to favor WNW/westerly downwind lakes locations just north of C-PA for most of the weekend. Some semblance of a weak clipper type wave showing around Sunday-ish on all models, which may be the best shot at a light snowfall in the interim. 0z GFS/Canadian too far south with it.  The Euro.. while still plenty cold here seems to be running a tighter boundary and had a better solution at 12z (although major downsloping off the Alleghenies). That run progged -12ºC at 850 and -20ºC at 700mb. Obviously would be a high ratio event with numbers like that. Pretty far out of course, but thats the quick rundown on that feature. Wouldn’t take much to turn that into a nice widespread light event given that it’s going to be plenty cold at the surface and especially aloft. At any rate, ski season should be able to get an early start this year as this colder pattern looks to have at least some staying power. Only issue of course is the lack of bigger storms showing on the pattern, as it looks to be a mainly northern stream dominant regime and fairly progressive. But we’ll see how that evolves in time.

Damn DT has another service:

NEW FOR THIS WINTER… WxRisk is starting a new winter forecast product: SCHOOL SNOW FORECAST.
This new forecast product for the winter 2024 - 25 is designed for teachers/ schools, and school districts. This product is useful for an individual school or college or a school district or for schools in a particular county.
With this forecast product, you get advance warning of significant winter weather conditions such as snow, ice, extreme cold, freezing conditions, (such as Black Ice), heavy rain, and high winds. In short any kind of winter weather conditions that may impact school operations including getting into the schools during the early morning hours and having the kids in adults leave the school in the afternoon.
The SCHOOL SNOW FORECAST has a special focus on the days/ mornings AFTER the winter storm comes to an end. Many locations in the Middle Atlantic and the Ohio Valley often see snow melt from the afternoon sun that refreezes at night and causes problems the next morning.
Or there may be a wet snowfall that initially does not appear to be much of a problem, but temperatures drop rapidly behind the storm, and everything freezes hard.
Many TV forecasters, as well as NWS, or private weather service companies, don't offer this kind of specific information to your particular School District. But the WxRisk SCHOOL SNOW FORECAST does.
If your school or School District organization is interested in this kind of forecast product, please send a email, contact person... the name of the school the School District... phone number to [email protected]

With all the services he's offering he should be everyones number 1 go to guy. Wonder if he provides advanced snowfall accumulation maps...for a fee?

Imagine the first time he gets a forecast wrong and he tells a Superintendent that reality and the universe doesn't give a shit about him being wrong.

We have had a very mild month so far here in November with 18 of the 24 days averaging warmer than normal. We will continue that pattern both today and tomorrow before we trend to below normal temperatures to close out November and start December. Rain chances increase toward tomorrow morning but end by afternoon. More rain arrives Thanksgiving morning and should last into Friday morning. The coldest air so far this season arrives for the weekend and high temperatures may struggle to get much above freezing in some spots.

I have monumental respect for your knowledge being a local, but reading your posts at 12:30 while trying to comfort a farting toddler with a stomach ache out of one bloodshot eye and dealing with a slipped disc and trying to take in all the information is a fate worse than death.
