FIRST CALL!!!!
Early Sunday morning into Monday morning
Light snow will overspread the area early Sunday morning changing to a moderate snowfall rate Sunday late morning/ early afternoon. Snow will be light to moderate into Sunday afternoon, with a couple hours where snow may pause for a brief period of time before the heavy snow comes.
Sunday late afternoon into Monday early morning hours heavy snow and gusty winds across the county. Sunday night roads will be treacherous, plows will not be able to keep up with the snowfall rates. Snowfall rates of 1-3” an hour at times, especially where banding sets up on top of blowing and drifting snow. BLIZZARD LIKE CONDITIONS Sunday night. Snow will come to an end Monday morning with lingering snow showers around in the afternoon.
Some of NJ and NY are in blizzard warnings already, if this storm shifts NW about 50-100 miles and winds pick up, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get 14” inches and blizzard warnings in our area, especially in southeast PA.
Models are still all over the place, I expect everyone to have lower totals then what I’m projecting for our area for now, but I do believe everyone will have to up there forecast this evening.
Start time: 4am-7am (Sunday)
End time: 7am-10am (Monday)
Snowfall Totals: 8-14”
Below is a map👇👇
Light Blue~ 2-4”
Dark Blue~ 3-6”
Purple ~ 5-10”
Pink~ 8-14”
Red~ 12-18”
Dark purple~ 16-22”
Scenario#1 forecast stays the same
Scenario#2 NW track and we have to up forecast
Scenario #3 E track and we have to lower totals.
I will have a final call posted around 7PM.
PREPARE NOW! Wet snow and heavy winds will cause power outages.
Settled in, roots shoot down into the quick. Everything changes, circling around, yet I remain forever, faces of seven.
Spring Sesshin (retreat) is soon to be scheduled. It you are interested in the four day retreat, please offer a Thursday or Friday of the last two weeks of April and the Sangha will try to pick the most advantageous date. (Nazareth Pa.)
Do to the severe upcoming storm (18-21 inches), the Sangha has decided to cancel zazenkai Sunday Jan 25th and resume on 02-01-26. Please be safe all known and unknown brothers and sisters.
