As WAR expands, do our snow chances increase? First wave may produce a middling event-solid advisory and possible low end warning for MLK Weekend

In ten minutes sky went from totally clear blue to overcast with that snow look/feel.  Neighbor just texted me to join an impromptu snow party in his barn.  Hope I'm not too crocked when it starts cranking.

Now that sounds like fun..I’d be there in a hot second. Go have some fun and wait for the snow…doesn’t get a whole lot better than that imo.

Darkening sky to the SW now..sun hanging on, but it won’t be long till it’s gone.

Clouds rolled in mood starting to change out there

How did you respond to that?

basically just told him that there was no way it was going to be -20. Told him lows would be either side of 0.

dude was in the middle of a $$$$$$$ replacing my furnace so I didn’t want to distract him too much

[Kitz Craver]

Dim Sun overcast this way

[Modfan2]

Temp up to 43F after a low of 29F here in E CT; .28” of rain overnight.

My call for 4-7" still holds with CT, the Central and Southern Berks with only 7-10" lollies highest elevation (Not widespread). The other will be with the classic synoptic scale east around the Boston and Northshore area where a 7-10" concentrated band will generally set up. The SouthShore 4-7" with the far SouthShore, extreme inner Cape 1-4". The rest outer Cape C-1". Generally, the forecast looks relatively on track.

Snow reports way ahead of schedule over NJ, all that’s headed for ENY and the Berks

47 here... great day..

Interesting EURO has that band as the main show.. definitely less east of there then another band out east with WCB

[Kitz Craver]

Looking at radar you can see this thing is zooming right along

[weathafella]

It will snow hard but residence time is so short relatively that amounts >6” will be less likely.  41 here and clouding up.  Still probably 6 hours away from onset of precipitation.

[CoastalWx]

Euro is pretty meager outside of those areas Seymour mentioned.

Hoping to get into the east edge of the Berks band, we get lucky with that here sometimes

Ya don’t like the latest nowcast trends for that main band out way out west being the main show potentially west of the river 

[512high]

Sun /gone clouds moving in temp @ 40. We wait.....

[metagraphica]

Under a WSW for 4-7".  Thinking more like 2-3" here.  We'll see.  Gotta replace the pull cord on my snow blower so if I do that we'll probably get the low end of expectations and I'll just shovel it.

As things stand right now the radar doesn't look all that impressive..

That radar looks solid . On NE heading from LI right up into and thru the region 

[DJln491]

2” in Telford just north of Philly per Philly forum

[dryslot]

More fitting to my 3-5”

[BombsAway1288]

Up to 47 here. Feels like early season baseball outside. Not liking that we’re approaching 50

Usually I just nod when I hear stuff like that, no use lecturing them.

Everything is falling apart

Cloud cover seems to help slow down warm up, was up to about 46 around noon, back down slightly to 44.5 now.

We're fine...lolol. I think YOUR'RE falling apart..lol

Ease up... It will be ok. It was never supposed to be big.

EC looks decent up here with the banding. 3-6/4-7 still on track.

High end advisory/low end warning is going to double my season total. No complaints.

[codfishsnowman]

If we're gonna get boned here, I hope it's an inch or less. This town does a horrible job with the roads and I have stuff to do. 

Maybe we'll put this cold air to good use in February. I think I am punting the rest of this month.
