Our advisory is for "up to 2 inches" .. guess they are keeping it b/c of the timing.  South of here, the warning is for 2-7"  Never seen that range with a warning.  First time for everything with this one I guess.

Meanwhile in Tioga..

WSW --> WWA --> nuffin.

I'd like to speak to the manager.  😄

 

Maybe I'll see the alternate ending where, plot twist, the WSW returns and snowl overs in the city rejoice!

Really feel for the crew north and west of here. This is a bizarre setup, and too crazy a ride. Just a few days ago we were worried than even Claps, area might changeover. Been a really huge swing in a short amount of time. And it isn’t even hitting  a huge wall of cold, dry air.

Yeah but isn't Euro long range and thus more suited for that than short range?

Which kind of goes to my point of its phys package, while being great at overarching aspects, is not designed to handle all this convection. I'll never forget how in Jonas, it was LAST to the party. 

@Undertakerson2.0 Answered that better than I

How can I help you? 

Punch this thing a bit further north, please 🙂

All kidding aside, I'm glad you folks further south are finally got to cash in a bit!  It's been a long time coming!

Probabilistic Heavy Snow and Icing Discussion
NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
432 PM EST Mon Feb 12 2024

Valid 00Z Tue Feb 13 2024 - 00Z Fri Feb 16 2024


...Tennessee-Ohio Valleys to the Northeast...
Day 1-2...
In the southern stream, a compact mid-to-upper level low will move
across the Mid-South this evening before transitioning to a
negatively-tilted open wave as it lifts from the Tennessee and
Ohio valleys into the Mid-Atlantic region overnight.  As the
system moves into the Ohio Valley tonight, there remains a good
signal for dynamic cooling
, supporting rain changing to snow in
the associated comm ahead as it lifts across Tennessee into
central to eastern Kentucky tonight.  While widespread heavy
amounts are not expected, accumulating snow is likely with the
potential for a stripe of mesoscale-driven, locally heavy amounts
.

As the system lifts to the northeast and a surface low pressure
develops along the Mid-Atlantic coast, a coupled upper jet, along
with low-to-mid level frontogenesis, will contribute to heavy
precipitation, with a tight, heavy rain to snow gradient
expected
on the northwest side of the low.  While a swath of heavy snow
extending from portions of the central Appalachians into the
Northeast remains likely, its placement remains far from certain. 

Even with heavy precipitation expected to unfold within the next
12-hours, this remains a low-confidence forecast.
 The overall
model trend continued to shift south, bringing heavy snow further
south and out of areas where heavy accumulations once appeared
likely.
 While probabilities for heavy snow (greater than 6
inches) remain high across portions of eastern Pennsylvania,
northern New Jersey, the lower Hudson Valley and the NYC metro,
and southern New England (Connecticut, Rhode Island, and southeast
Mass), probabilities have dropped notably further to the north. 

What remains more certain is that will be a fast-moving system,
impacting areas from the central Appalachians to southern New
England beginning overnight.  The heaviest amounts overnight are
expected to fall along the northern West Virginia, far western
Maryland, and southwestern Pennsylvania mountains overnight. 
After daybreak, the focus will likely be over northern New Jersey
to southern New England, but will quickly move east, with snow
exiting most areas by the evening hours.

You know.. it’s been a crazy ride. Anyone think the SE trend was overcooked? I don’t have specific details or justification, but what’s to stop this from jogging back NW a tick or 2?

The key is the phase. If it is cleaner and the storm explodes, then we have a game on system with a substantial hit for the Tri-State. IF it develops a bit late, then C/E LI have a moderate to significant hit and the rest of the Tri-State is a left behind.

6;00 pm Surface. I keep noticing very little northward movement  but that’s based on these. Surface maps for tha last 6 hours.

Yeah if it keeps it up this is just going to head straight to the Carolina coastline. I know that’s dramatic but dang. Guess the HP to the north won’t play ball

WPC Short Range Discussion

This storm system will arrive across the Mid-Atlantic states tonight and
will transition to a strong nor'easter Tuesday morning as low pressure
exits off the Mid-Atlantic coast near the Delmarva and ejects well
offshore of southern New England by Tuesday night. The concern will
refocus back to winter weather impacts as moisture surging northward ahead
of the low center encounters sufficient levels of cold air for a swath of
heavy accumulating snowfall. There continues to be an unusual amount of
uncertainty with this forecast, particularly with where the axis of
snowfall will develop and occur.
The latest guidance suggests heavy
snowfall occurring from southern New England down into southern
Pennsylvania/New Jersey. Generally, between 6-12 inches are probable for
portions of the aforementioned areas.
The nor'easter will bring strong
winds to the region on Tuesday which coupled with the heavy snowfall could
damage trees and power lines.
The strong winds will also bring a threat
for coastal flooding.

I think Mount Holly is holding out too. Still calling for coating to an 1” here NW of Philly. No WWA, watches or warnings. No idea what they are looking at
