This is why I haven’t committed or even cared about anything this winter past 72 hours. I check the models once a day in the morning and that’s it and I gotta say my mental health has been way better this winter. I’ve honestly enjoyed this winter even though we are currently basically 50% of normal and every storm has been basically a dud. But this is why.. you have every model and ensemble suite basically showing a secs 5 days out and 24 hours later it’s basically on life support. You just can’t get excited in these parts until the storm is inside 3 days and even then it can rug pull. Anything past that, just forget it, it’s not worth the emotional investment. Seriously lol at it, don’t expect anything, and if it’s still there and looking good inside 3 days then start planning the parade.

Well as the models turn regarding the Wed/Thursday possible snowstorm. With the overnight runs we have on the Team Snow side The European with a significant snowstorm. The GFS and ICON with a few inches of powder....and the German ICON with flurries and a dusting. The one pretty clear place that will see a significant snow is at the Jersey Shore. This has been the season of depressed or suppressed east coast events.

Unreal. How do the models go from epic to epic shit in 24 hours? 
 
I'm with Ralph. That will pretty much do it for Winter. 

Models generally get into somewhat lock down mode once they get under the magic 120 hours number. Yes we’ll still see ticks either way, but not overhauls. Yesterday was that magic time frame and was why I was so nervous before 12z runs.

Oh well.

We can still muster .4-.6 of high ratio stuff (more for jersey).

But my drought lives on. LOL.  where is the 1.5 to 2 in rains?   I give up . I have not see 1 " rains since New years eve. Lets see if we can muster a decent t- storm for you guys in SE PA this afternoon - severe thunderstorm warning has a better chance to be issued than seeing a 12 + snow on Thursday. The winds will be crazy. lets talk about that. LOts of power outages coming

Temperatures in the higher spots failed to get above freezing till around 7am this morning. Our 13th winter event of the season resulted in as much as 2" of snow in spots and as much as 0.15" of freezing rain ice accretion. Melted snow and rain amounts so far have ranged from 0.77" at Kennett Square to 0.58" at Atglen. We could see another 0.25" to 0.50" with both a warm front this morning and then a sharp cold front this afternoon. We should see a sharp rise in temperatures this morning into early PM - possibly reaching the 50's before the front crosses the western burbs during around the 230p to 330p hour. We continue to lessen any drought concerns across the area and another 0.25" to 0.50" of rain should fall today. The big story and danger today into tomorrow will be the strong winds that may very well cause widespread power outages. Unfortunately, following the front we will not see above freezing temperatures for the entire work week. Stay safe!
