I'm thinking an inch from the front-end dump down this way tomorrow, two if we're lucky.  Then a period of freezing rain before it all gets washed away Saturday night into Sunday.  Could be fun for a few hours around lunch tomorrow.  Then comes the cold for a few days starting Monday, with all eyes on the midweek coastal.  12z looms....

Chilly and breezy but dry today. Tomorrow it appears that our 12th winter event of what has been a busy winter season will arrive. Snow should begin by late morning tomorrow and change to rain by late afternoon. We could see up to as much as 2" of snow before it all gets washed away with some much-needed rain. Warmer with periods of rain Sunday before a turn to much colder by Sunday night. Dry and unseasonably cold weather this week with most of the week remaining below freezing both day and night. The potential is there for our largest snowstorm of the season....but we do not shovel potential! If the storm occurs it appears late Wednesday into Thursday will be the time frame.

Dear Central PA Weather Morning Crew:

You're welcome. Thank me now or thank me later.

This place was DEAD last evening...2 completely disjointed and meaningless convos going in our 2 threads centered on alcohol prices at sporting events and something related to Texas between the Windy guy from Harrisburg and the Snow Plow Driver from Dillsburg. Yes...Texas. We were talking about Texas man, we're talking about Texas. Texas. Not the Icon. Not the GFS. We're in here talking about Texas. We're talking about Texas. We're talking about Texas...

Sensing this, I said to myself "you know what...you've been excited about next week's potential for a couple of weeks now. It's time to step up your game and do something about it." So, even though I needed to be in the office early, I stayed up until 1:30 this morning. I, yes I provided updates on the GFS. The GEM. The UKMET...and finally the Euro. I even posted a freaking snow map or two!!! I resurrected the threat next week after 18z went to hell. I brought it back to life. 

Now, let's go! Already this morning, models don't look as epic as they did overnight. Let's keep the mojo flowing here! 

You’re doing the lord’s work. (and thank you)

Temps are at or above freezing so roads should be ok.  Just checked as I may need to be out. 

Yeah roads should remain fine tomorrow with the midday arrival.  The one caveat being that it could really thump in certain spots, as has been depicted by some models, and as we know rates can always overcome.  However, those would likely be brief bursts and things would clear up quickly again.  Mainly a grass event and then we watch in melt.  Such a shame we couldn't flatten things out and keep those temps from spiking just a little bit more on Sunday.  With that cold coming it would have been nice to keep a layer down.

In terms of weather, it's shaping up to be a nasty #PresidentsDayWeekend. Periods of rain will dampen the LSV Sat eve through Sun AM before ending later Sun afternoon. Due to the ongoing #drought and absence of snowpack, #flooding won't be a concern. I expect 0.75-1.50" of rain.

The talk of a "major snowstorm" late next week has merit. The MJO is in Phase 8, & we'll also have a ridge in the West & west-based, -NAO. All of this *could* add up to a bona fide Nor'easter. However, you can't shovel potential!

Said that many days ago.  Glad he agrees w/ me.... ;)

Not to be argumentative, but it actually looked to me like this had an opportunity to be a WHOLE lot better. The low was only about 1004mb off the east coast. It hadn't really bombed out on this run until it was gone. 

Edit: It definitely went nuclear after that!

You're not wrong.  I thought the same while viewing.  There was potential for more but I guess that's a good thing??  And yes, it did bomb out pretty good once it gained some latitude, as we so often see.  Bottom line, big east coast snowstorm is in the pipeline and that alone is worth some measured excitement.

From JB talking about gfs: give it credit. It looks like its hitting the warm advection snow tomorrow. I am still wondering if that low will wind up south of New england to hold the cold air into the interior northeast meaning one heck of a snow/ice event from NYC ( a few inches of snow then sleet and freezing rain, not rain and 50) to BOS

Jalen Hurts about to be introduced to Americanwx - he's going to be heading down Broad Street and wondering why this one random dude in the crowd has his phone extended high in the air, not to take pictures or video of Hurts, but instead with some mysterious map image full of blues, pinks and purples all along the eastern seaboard...
