Snow reported in Bethel again let's see how far north these bands can get. Not expecting a whole bunch more since the orientation looks to just stay just south.

Yes I was going to say the same thing. It looks like snow has made it to the south hills. Can anyone down there confirm. Here there is just a few flurries.

So when’s our next chance for a decent snow? Saturday definitely looks like a coastal so

Other than maybe nowcasting some pieces of vorticity in the NW flow interacting with some lake moisture this week, there really isn't anything to watch until whatever happens this weekend. I'm almost wondering if the weekend thing would be better off for our chances if that energy in the SW gets stuck there and picked up by the next NS wave after it. 

Not worth parsing anything after the weekend other than it looks like the window for winter weather will remain open for awhile.

Caught a couple sneaky heavy bands on the very tail end. Obviously a dud based on time invested, but a decent day. I may have close to 2” now for the day. 

Interesting to see how that translates to some areas that already did pretty well. Think it could bump the totals to 5-6” in spots in Fayette and Greene.

Anyone getting any decent snow out of that band in central Allegheny right now? Looks to be slowly drifting east, so hope to catch a little bit of it. This NW flow setup *could* over the next couple days end up being better for some than the storm. (Not saying much when your bar is 1 inch but hey!) Still gotta love snow on snow with temps in the 20s.

We picked up another 2” since about 7am-just got WWA from noon today through noon Thursday for another 3-6” as well as blowing snow

Looks like this weekend is our next shot with northern stream energy rolling through. Won't be anything crazy but maybe we are looking at a 1-4 type event. 
I'm totally fine with those events if they're consistent. This has certainly been the most wintry stretch I remember over the last few years. Even days like today where you might pick up a random half inch or so are nice.

And the kinds of days we have sorely missed the last few seasons!

Yeah, I feel like when I was a kid we almost always had a stretch like this in winter. I remember getting smaller-ish storms, and sled riding then followed up like every other day getting another 1-3 or 2-4 with snow on the ground adding fresh powder to our sled runs lol I'm sure my memory makes it seem more frequent than it probably was but this is the type of stretch I've been missing. Still wouldn't be mad if we scored a bigger storm somewhere along the way. :lol:

That northern stream piece is what's going to give us whatever we get. Honestly, the big phased look was probably going to fringe us, maybe we end up worse off with that look so this might end up better for "more snow" anyways.

Agreed if this phases it probably kills the northern stream and causes the NW side of the low to have a strong cut off gradient. I'll take the constant build up of snow pack. Just give me one 8-12 event and I'll call this season a success atleast compared to last year.

I remember them too in the 70's.

It looks like that band is still going on your way. We had that over our area all morning. 

Maybe a few overperforming clippers next week.

Yeah it's back, pretty steady heavier light snow if that makes any sense lol. Those big puffy dendrites though so it adds up. Probably 1-2 since midnight but hard to tell with the blowing. 

Looks like 2 or 3 clippers next week. I always preferred the "Saskatchewan Screamer" If I was ever musically inclined I would have started a punk band with that name. lol

We are almost at last years seasonal total already, so we’re definitely doing better.
