One last shot of winter?



Looks like mother nature has some tricks up her sleeves.  A nor'easter type system will impact the area early this week bringing plenty of precipitation.  Models indicate more of a snow event with the GFS & NAM
4 model runs valid Monday afternoon.  Each show a system with
a bulk of the precip over Western PA.
predicting upwards of 10 inches in the area.  The Euro is predicting 9"-12" inches.  Both of these seem a little bullish in my opinion.  It all depends on how much cold air this system can tap into and earlier model runs indicated a good amount but I just looked at today's 12Z model and it isn't showing as much cold air.  I still see Crawford County getting a decent amount, say about 3"-7".  Higher elevations have the better chance of seeing snow so areas like Bradford, Warren, and southern NY will definitely see a decent amount.  Either way you look at it, there will be snow and cold so it will be a miserable start to the week.  Bust those snow shovels back out, you'll probably need them one last time.

Euro snowfall forecast through Wednesday morning.  It is prediciting
9"-12" for our area.
