One problem I see is that all models pretty much agree that the stripe of good snowfall isn't going to be that wide north to south. Going to need some luck and even then there likely will be winners and lovers in our own thread unless it's perfectly positioned from Rt. 6 to the M/D line.

If you look at the eps panels posted on the ma board, there is much to be decided including a lot of members not having said stripe due to the Miller b aspect.  I look forward to when we get a bit of consistency.  In a tip to the op euro it has had a stripe for several runs now.

I’d be totally fine with sacrificing a few inches and mixing over for snowpack retention down the road. Would be a true glacier for a while. I’ll be more worried about lower QPF and a strung out mess system

The climate summary for Chester County PA finds that 2024 was our warmest year since way back in 1913! Overall, this was the third warmest year since 1893 with an average annual temperature of 55.15 degrees. The warmest years here in Chester County were way back in 1931 (warmest) with an average temperature of 55.73 degrees followed closely by that equally warm year even further back in time of 1913 at 55.18 degrees. Precipitation wise this was the 48th driest year with an average across all reporting stations of 39.57" of rain and melted snow equivalent but only 2.50" below our normal levels. Snowfall wise our 25.7" of snow were almost 10 inches below our normal snow of 35" here in Chester County. Below is the climate data for the 18 current NWS/MADIS and trained observer sites here in Chester County PA.

I love pack retention. 

I had 10 consecutive days of solid snow cover after the Blizzard of 93 despite being mid to late March. Why? I had 4" of sleet in my pack.

I had snow on the ground every day in February 2021. Nice procession of 3-5" storms after the bigger one to start the month.

Unfortunately, winters here have been very disappointing since. I was hoping that would change this month.

I was pretty young for the 93 storm but I do remember sleet mixing in over in western Adams.    Oops this is for ITT

I lived in Mountville at the time:

Snow from 3am to 11am

Sleet from 11am to 3pm

Snow from 3pm until 8pm

13.5" of snow followed by 4" of sleet topped off with 4.5" of snow. Finished with 22" total with 20" OTG when it ended. Top winds were in the 55 mph area.

My temp on the morning of the 15th was -6. In mid March. Incredible.

MDT's final Dec departure number ended up being -1.5.  Highlights were two days staying below freezing but counter acted a bit by 3 very warm days to end the month including am 18.7 AN day on the 29th. The largest negative departure for a day was 14.5BN on the 23rd.  18 days were BN and 13 days were AN.    Sorry if this was already posted, hard to keep up when times are busier.

Thanks & we fell short on precip, so no yearly surplus…

(Just having some New Year’s fun).
