18 gfs is not really that impressive for anyone. basically 1-2 inches SPA/NMD through hr 30

maybe 2-4 extreme SNJ and eastern shore of DE

to be expected.. Leave this to the NAM and other High Res models under 36hrs.. GFS doens't do well with the meso stuff.

You are either thinking of the NAM or the GGEM. I don't have any idea why the GFS would follow the RGEM in any way.

Yeah...The NAM and RGEM would often be in tandem, not the GFS and RGEM...the GFS while it has been rather good in the 36-84 range the last month or so has been poor inside of that period, particularly on QPF values and placement...it missed the 12/26 event (in the short range as far as track and QPF) and basically blew today's as well...it got most of western LI right but for the completely wrong reason...I'd feel good right now in C-S NJ regardless of the GFS...the way the NAM has nailed the 26th event, today's event to a large extent and the Cape Cod event on 12/16 I'd trust it over the GFS.

More S NJ than C... TTN is right on the gradient... again! Apparently any storm that favors southern or eastern NJ hates TTN with a passion :lol:

what does everyone think about Mt Holly including Somerset and Middlesex County in the 2-4 inch prediction band for tomorrow...seems rather bullish given the model outputs

EC gives both counties a bit more than 0.2" liquid so its not a crazy forecast... GFS is drier of course and the NAM has that tight gradient which worries me greatly.

Yeah... I went conservative with 1-2" as my personal (non-government) call for TTN. Not liking that NAM cut-off at all.

Yeah Ray, that cutoff on the nam would suck being as I missed this snow today to the north with only 0.5". Will have a nice hole here if both dont pan out for me..But I don't think I will ever complain for a long long time after witnessing the Boxing Day storm full force. I can die a happy man lol

Where's mine? Or am I supposed to live to 150 before I get to see that :arrowhead:

wow- the snow hole lives on- no end in site to those who continue to say it will- Winter storm watch/advisories to the south of us once again. I have to get out the broom for tomorrow. This is getting ridiculous. These 1-2 inch snowfalls are breaking my back. The snow melted before I could even sweep the walkway today. Poor Tamaqua, I hope your pixie dust is not to heavy tomorrow. Maybe you can make a snowball out it.

I will concur.

My forecast:

Saturday: Snow likely, mainly after noon. Cloudy, with a high near 24. Calm wind becoming north between 6 and 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Where do you find the NWS Mt. Holly snow map. I've looked all over their site and can't find it. Thanks

Pretty sure he meant where on the page, since it's not obvious. Start from the home page: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/phi/ and then click on the link for "storm total snow forecast available " which is located about an inch above the map of the region. And maybe because this is a government run operation, the link to stuff like this is different on every office's homepage: for example, the NYC office has a link named "storm total forecast" which is located just below and to the right of the region map. Would love to see some better standardization of the NWS office websites - same thing in finding many other things, like snowfall reports, weather records, climate info, etc.

Since the total snow graphic is somewhat experimental (not every office does it), there tends to be differences between offices as far as how they are put on the web site. Most people probably only look at one office's page (their own local office's) most if not all of the time.

Haha hey you got 96 remember?! Yes I know so did I but I was 8 years old at the time and couldn't possibly appreciate it as much from a Meteorological perspective. Or from the understanding of how often I seemingly get screw jobs in other storms.

Anyhow, heres my map(sorry that it's so freaking huge) that I scratched together really quickly. It is based heavily on the NAM's qpf coverage depiction. And I gave a little more love then the nam for further north. It's pretty much right on point with how Mt. Holly feels I think. Let's hope 00z models bring it further north to show us all some love. Or lets just hope the euro/ggem can score a short range coop.

True, I was 14 in 96 so that was good. Getting tired of getting jipped lately though... its been nearly 7 years since I saw a foot of snow fall. Granted, I did screw myself by moving to Elko, which hasn't seen a foot of snow in one storm in 14 years... but still, that just means we're due! ;)

Other than the GFS and its lower QPF, the NAM, Euro and GEM all show higher QPF totals, I take that as a good sign, especially with what the GEM, I'd normally expect that on the lower side of things. With that said, I'll stick with my general 1-2" for most of SE PA then 2-3" from about PHL south and east with isolated 5" totals possible east and south of the the NJ Turnpike and I-195 in Jersey.
