In addition to snow, it will be cold AF. I heard that once the temp gets in the range of -20 degrees F, trees can spontaneously burst. I can't image how loud of a sound that would be echoing through the forest.

Cold and snowy. But the weather in Denver will be cold and clear.
Lots of updates fellas! Thanks. Tgar will be at 8,000 feet in the Atacama Desert discovering what there is to be discovered and periodically looking at the radar loop for Midstate Pa. While reveling in the heat.

Meteorologists won’t call for snow totals here in Kentucky. But where I am, the models are calling for about a foot Saturday-Monday with below zero temps to follow. Schools may be closed until I can retire!
Do you ever share pics of the amazing places you go?
As for sunny Las Cruces they are saying a possible I'' of snow but it will be back into the 60's on Mon.
Just checked the weather forecast. Looks like a big one.
If I only knew how to post successfully without the format telling me the photo is too large. Etc. pain in the ***.
This is the major trip for the year so timed really well.
About 3” in the Oakland part of Pittsburgh.
It won't be as bad as the Blizzard of '78. That was the one with a foot on Thursday and 2 feet on Friday, and they shut down PSU at noon. On top of a 1-3 ft base.
Was that the same one over Thanksgiving? It started out as freezing rain for us in Somerset, PA then switched to Thunder Snow and about 24" later and no electricity for 6 days. I remember my sister trying to get ahold of someone at PSU to tell them she couldn't get back in time to Penn State. Terms then and that would probably have been the start of winter term.
Last big one we had in Bmore was ironically enough was this same weekend in 2016. I think we ended up with over 30".
PSU shut downs pretty easily these days for weather compared to when they never used to(except for like 3ft like you mentioned)
I remember it well. On Friday I had to make the trek from Snyder Hall to my first period class at Willard. I was walking through snow that was just below my knees as sidewalks and walkways had not been cleared of snow. I made it back to lunch at Findlay dining hall literally wading through the snow after third period and then they decided to close campus. Sunday I had to dig my car out of the snow in parking lot 83 armed with a combo cafeteria tray-toboggan. Of course the crew to help me arrived when I was just about finished. The snow piles at the edges of parking lot 80 were piled up with large loaders (like those in Gold Rush) were around 20 feet high. Just a crazy time that I will never forget.

I expect to get pounded with 8-12” in NEW. JERSEY. .

I worked in an orchard in the early 70's, and I saw this happen on a large scale. In January we had a week of very warm weather for winter, talking 50* to 65* every day. Well, overnight the temp. plunged to -5* and stayed there. The sap had risen and many trees exploded. We lost 90% of the peach orchard and dozens of apple trees (which is hard wood) exploded too. Looked like someone had taken a 50 cal. to the peach orchard.
That's what the weather was like back in the day when I made the long brutal trek to parking lot 80.A$$. BEATING.
I saw a few freshman explode crossing 80.
I hope the storm atleast buys you scones and a latte afterwardsI expect to get pounded with 8-12” in NEW. JERSEY.
This was always on my walkman when I would go through Parking Lot 80.
Not to mention I helped my room mate shovel out his car only to discover he forgot where he parked.
