Signifficant Snow's Still Expected To Hit Pennsylvania With The 26th - 28th Storm

So, as you can see, we will be dealing with a pretty major snowstorm for most of our state. I know a lot of people like me will be traveling during this snowstorm, but want to find out when to get somewhwre without being snowed in. Here's the track of this storm. We will have a low forming in the southern plains, giving parts of OK and TX up to a foot of snow. That storm will move east and grab some moisture from the gulf, creating a severe weather outbreak for parts of the gulf ocast state's Christmas day. This storm will strengthen and then move northeast through central Tennessee and continue to grab moisture off the gulf, it will then move northeast still into western West Virginia, it will now be pretty strong, but now as soon as you know it, a secondary low will form in southeastern Virginia as grab moisture off the Atlantic, then the energy from the primary low in West Virginia will transfer to this secondary low, which will no be very strong. From that point, the secondary low, now primary low, will move north-north east over the Del - Mar - Va and extreme southeastern Pennsylvania, around Philadelphia, some warm air will get into extreme southeastern Pennsylvania from where the storm center is, explaining the all rain area in extreme southeastern Pennsylvania. This storm will destroy everywhere else in Pennsylvania with heavy snow for a long period of time.
As you can see, anywhere in area's west and north of Lancaster should see at least 9 inches. We expect ths storm to be a one to remember because this storm alone will likely give some area's in area's like York and Harrisburg more snow than they got the whole last winter!
