The 00z GFS ensemble just completed and puts 13" on Camelback & Shawnee and 15" on Blue Mountain.

I realize short-range models are supposed to be what you use in this timeframe rather than the GFS etc..., but they short-range products are all predicting so much snow that psychologically I dont know if I can trust them. lol

23 degrees currently in Bucks County.

It's 23 degrees across the river from you too. Those maps are 10:1 ratios, but this makes me wonder is something like 15:1 will be needed as it's several degrees colder right now than thought, and you can see how that could dramatically alter things. Maybe it will change, but the snow was supposed to be heavy and wet, and what I'm getting right now is straight up powder.

Go figure with this storm the flatlands will have higher seasonal totals than most of NE ski country. At least it's moved enough where I told the restaurant owner that I'm not gonna be there tomorrow and neither should they. Too bad I will be skiing groomers instead of pow but it beats work!

Up to watch the Hahnenkamm...... three hours ago this revision was made by a good met from VA. Hopefully it's wrong, because it's a little too close for comfort.

This is starting to look like one of those be careful what you wish for scenarios , 30'' and I'm stuck for days!
Been 19f all night and now the winds are 25 G 38 mph. !!@#$%((&%%

I have a 300 vert behind my house that I've hiked a couple times , I nick named it the "Cruel Shoes" run . Never done it because it's stickers , rocks,boulders, huge falls. might be doable with 30'' .

I'm in this area that just got upgraded to potential 30 inches!

30" of snow in south Jersey is about as useful as seeing the hottest woman you've ever seen in your life at a strip club.

Glad you Poconos skiers get a treat, but this storm is a real kick between the legs for the rest of us.

Anyone have eyes on Lucy? Will she check into game for a last minute audible?

Lucy is FOR ONCE not going to pull the ball away from the Pocono Mountains.

NWS now thinks the heavy snows will reach farther west from intense banding.

They just issued this update a few minutes ago!!!!
