For good measure I just cranked mine and took it for a loop around my traffic circle.  Storm should start trending southward again.

I promise I'm not superstitious. This is just science.

Slowly draining snow hopes over the course of 4 or 5 runs is just not dramatic enough. More of an emotional quarter operated mall rocking horse than a Rollercoaster. We need an epic naming for 2 or 3 runs then pull the rug out all at once to restore balance to the force.

I mean I don’t want to crush hopes and dreams or anything lol.. Just a little sugar high. Honestly, at the end of the day if we manage enough snow that my daughter can build her snowman ⛄️ then I’m happy!

If this storm doesn’t slow down or that western energy doesn’t slow down, we’ll have a dusting come Saturday night.

As sad as this sounds 2 inches would be good enough here, that’s how snow starved we are. Realistically if it jump starts the winter I’m all for it.

Just funny how defined NJ is in every pic.  Even Delmarva has some gray 

Not even a gray slush of fabled back end snow.

70%+ chance of 2"+ in Central/North Central PA. Still possibly the "largest" snow of the season.

This is so f’d up. We go thru this time and again. 7 days out, huge storm. 4 days out it dwindles, I’m insane. 
Will wait until Friday. 
but….   Better to have seen potential then to have no potential. {Socrates}

Don’t you get that towel ready… don’t you do it

The fly in the ointment is back in purple.  Spins around and peels off .. is it right/wrong?  Slower/faster? /shrugs

This storm is in blue and close to being onshore, but not really until 12z tomorrow.
