So in the last couple hours, we went from celebrating a few crush jobs to despairing barely an inch. This storm sucks.

It's one 6z model and besides start looking at the radar. Models start become useless at this point, it's on our doorstep. We can see what's happening better than models predicting. It's game time!

The 4-6" I think is the perfect and correct amount. Cold air rushing in afterwards with several days well below normal... good storm. Just need a Birds win and everything will fall right into place..

Not gonna lie it's a bit concerning how all the models have been drying up over the past few runs. The weaker storm does get more areas into the action but the obvious trade off it lower qpf.

Precip should begin to blossom over the next few hours. WSW for 5-8 here in Berks. My bar is set lower than that, hoping I get surprised. 33* 31dp

Be happy with what you get. Around here we've been getting an inch or so events and that's about it. If somehow I can get three to four inches plus I'll take that along with the Arctic blast coming in...this was never meant to be a huge storm.

Thought I might wake up to a downgraded Winter Weather Advisory instead woke up to the Winter Storm Warning upgraded to 5-8 lol

for the newbies: as the LP gets wrapped up, the snow ratios will go up. Looking at models 6 hours  hours before this type of  storm event is useless. Its all radar folks.  A true meteorologist knows the historical function of past events too- just not relying on modelogy. Watch and learn. My Holly is spot on. The HRDPS and HRRR is what to be looking at if you are counting inches. Basically, where the frontogenisis banding sets up. The sweet spot for banding with a historical benchmark storm like this one for good snow banding is in northern montgomery, bucks and the LV.  Lets just see how it pans out. Anyway the best part of this storm  is the cold and blowing snow afterwards  with a chance of thundersnow in the snow banding too.

My observation of the bolded part of the quote is that I've seen this many times, so there's some truth to it. The flip side of that is that my location north of the Blue Mountain in Schuylkill County ends up being in a subsidence zone.

Guidance overnight has ticked considerably lower with snowfall totals. Part of that is the quickness of the system. The other part is the banding looks extremely confined and less widespread now.

In any event I still think a general 2-5" seems like a good range for this one with a couple isolated areas under the banding seeing 3-6/7".

Expectation here in Warminster set at 2.1"

Eta: keep in mind when these bands develop, areas adjacent will see subsidence and weaker radar returns

Exactly, it’s go time just watch the radar for the trends now or you’ll just drive yourself insane.

Speaking of... via Radar scope, those returns in Lebanon are actually making it to the ground.
