Central PA Winter 2024/2025

Anyone along and just north of the M/D and across places along and west of Rt15 should be keeping close tabs on this one. Looks like a nice event starting to spruce up on guidance. Plenty cold and just need the moisture push. I’m think a warning level event is creeping up in probability. Not going to sound the alarms yet, but probably a good chance one of the better banding setups will be over northern MD into southern PA. I’ll check in over the next several days leading in! 
 

Hope everyone here is doing well and had a great set of holidays. Let’s reel this in for the Mid Atlantic.

@Chris78 if the models hold or trend north at 12Z today we may have to bump up our hopes down here a bit but still seeing some suites showing precip dying off as the transfer happens so not sold on going to 4-6 yet.   First things first, do we get 1-3" Friday?  That would be a surprise bonus.  Check out the HRRR strafing a lot of this forum as that piece of energy starts to form a bit making what appears to be a mini CCB.

Ugh...Voyager rant here, but I'm so tired of being too far north, south, or west in these snow events. If we (I) can't get a good, solid high end advisory event, than I'd just as soon smoke cirrus. 

Still a few days to go for even up in Tamaqua…

You are not far away from getting into the better snow.

The problem with the HRRR, is that it's the HRRR. I hope to God it's right though. Lol

Most suites show at least an 1" in some southern PA locales.  I like the HRRR panel because you could see the piece of energy trying to form.   Temps are not going to be super cold though so possibly just accums on grass and mulch.

Don't get me wrong, it's a dream depiction for just the reason you stated. I've just found, at least when I lived near BWI, it often over forecasted snow to my despair. Lol

93 storm I was on duty at fire department. Got held over. Back then we run the ambulance and they sent a highway truck with a big plow down to headquarters to run with the ambulance on all calls. 
This morning 35 and very windy with a few stray flurries.

At least we have something to watch good or bad. Always a little wiggle wiggle, wiggle

Today, while still below normal temperatures will be our warmest day for quite a while. Tomorrow we will be a bit chillier than today, and we will likely see our last above freezing temperatures for about 10 days. Some light snow is possible by tomorrow evening with a coating to an inch in spots. Cold and dry for the weekend before our snow chances increase on Sunday evening into Monday.

Final 2024 Climatology numbers from Lancaster (Millersville):
 

MU Weather Center

#December2024 ended with 3.12” of liquid equivalent precip at@millersvilleu, bringing the annual total to 36.50” (about 5” below normal). Due in large part to an unusually mild ending, temps were nearly 2 degrees above average, in aggregate.

(Temp departure was for December, 2024 as a whole was nearly 5" below normal for QPF)
