Itstrainingtime

CTP actually had a map of this years ago - when they refer to the "upper, middle, lower", "upper" is north of where the west branch cuts off, "middle" is between that point and where the Juniata enters the main stream Susquehanna, and "lower" is below that.

Even on the GFS (I didn't look at the CMC yet) the primary wasn't in the best position for the southern tier for a snowstorm...if this indeed turns into a primary to the west/secondary development on the coast, we're going to need timing and good fortune. But...we have a chance.

A little wintry bonus for us this morning.

GFS looks sort of intriguing for next weekend...

Maybe not - there was no snow at work, which is much closer to MU than Maytown is. Maybe he temporarily shit the blinds for an hour?

It goes down officially as a T as I've already flipped over to plain rain. I in no way thought I'd see ANY snow falling today, so this is absolutely a win!

This post aged very well - snow/sleet mix in Maytown.

My temp is 42.2 so I'm not too thrilled for my chances. LOL

Congrats!

Yep, different criteria for snow and amounts out in the mountains. LOL

Cloudy and 40. Getting ready for some rain.

This storm is sideswiping the Sierra around Mammoth - forecast is for "scattered snow showers...accumulations of 1 to 3 feet...

Hopefully today doesn't set a tone for the remainder of spring - not a drop of rain fell here since the overnight hours. It never threatened to rain and not once did it get windy. (which was fine)

LOL- no, growing green grass mow.

Incorrect- I'm already at 1...

It's been breezy here but it was windier on Sunday than this. It's almost calm right now.

Yes. As you mentioned earlier...radar doesn't look that great, especially for the southern tier.

I'll play along: MDT: T MU: 0" ROU: 1.5"

MU throwing down the dagger! Unless the persistent trough, or dip in the Jet Stream, over the West relaxes/disappears in March, I’m not optimistic for snow in southeastern PA. We’ll need a “thread-the-needle” event to occur overnight for any meaningful accumulation. The hype for March may fall flat

That there is funny! LOL

...only if his bus makes it out of Marysville...

Sure does! The NWS office in the Twin Cities is already heralding this as a Top 5 all time storm up there.

I did not realize that about the timing of the rain - I drove home at 5pm through a few (literally) sprinkles, but we did not have any measurable precip until after midnight.

I've thought about doing some research on black ice. It has seemed to me for years that black ice forms or doesn't form in response to what the weather has been over the previous 24-48 hours. I recall some mornings when the air temp was 34-35 and yet there was nasty black ice due to how cold the ground was from a recent cold snap. Conversely, if the weather has been warm, an air temp of 32 might not have led to black ice since the ground temp would have been warmer. It's one of the those little weather phenomena's that I think about each winter when we have a black ice issue. This is the first winter that I can recall without a single instance of black ice.

I did a double take reading this - I thought you moved and were referring to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Bridge
