Central PA Winter 2024/2025

I posted in the MA that models didn't come to the general correct idea (centered south of us) of yesterday's storm until Thursday of last week; basically 5 days prior.

We're going to need to wait until this weekend and are in that 5 day period. Modeling outside of 5 days really is garbage 95% of the time.

0z Canadian would be acceptable, but the upside potential of the Euro would be spectacular.

6z Euro is not as amped, but that looks to me to be because it's slower. It won't matter what it shows in a few hours so not worth worrying about.

I’m just looking for a general agreement of the storm later today or tomorrow. Then fine tune the track within the last 5 days to determine precip issues & jackpot areas.

I would say 4 days, sometimes 3

I can't disagree, but considering the crowd, I  thought 5 was the outer limit. Lol

Not going to post this in the MA forum but Seeing the eps mean really is discouraging. I don't really care if it shows 3" for us. Shows double for southern MD and we've seen enough of this, this season to know how it goes.

As you've alluded to probably have another 2 or 3 days before we know more but it wouldn't shock me to see another south of DC Jack.

I want to see this amped up as much as possible. I'll take my chances with mixing.

I think too amped is more of a concern than southern slider with next week’s chance.

We picked up 0.23" of freezing rain and rain since last evening. So far this year we are running over 2.5" below normal rainfall. Over the last 14 months we have been running at a slight deficit of 4.90" of precipitation. During this time frame we are running at 91% of normal melted snow/rain. We should put a nice dent in our deficit over this weekend with most models showing upwards of 1" of rain. Tomorrow will be the best weather day of the weekend before snow arrives on Saturday afternoon. Snow will change to rain during the PM. Sunday looks wet through midday. We then turn sharply colder by Sunday night with yet another run of below normal temperatures for most of next week. We have had solidly below normal temperatures across the area since way back on Thanksgiving Day. Expect to hear rumors of a snowstorm by mid to late next week.

Euro remains stubborn for Saturday denying those south of central PA of any accumulations. But it seems to be on its own.

so in summary.

- Toss it for Saturday,

- Hug it for 2/20.

that was easy....

I agree. It's tiresome, but last year DC had a few inches for the whole winter and BWI didn't do much better. I had almost 20".  Payback is a biatch.

I wouldnt throw a nickel down.  It is just mindbogglng how its either 200 miles South, or 200 miles NW that seem to be the preferred tracks this year.  I keep thinking that as the pattern has been rather progressive, that if you throw enough into it, something will stick for all of us.  Starting to question that assumption, but the Euro/Ukie gives hope, and GFS has played this game all too often, and I'd think this weekend it brings 2/20 back (if its gonna - andi think it will).  

at 500, GFS/GEPS argues for a norther correction.  GEFS says congrats DC
