Itstrainingtime

More rain for me...

We'll see-I'm not super enthused right now.

Map can't be right...part of Lanco sees snow on that.

We do wind well!

Really, really want to see some snow (obviously) over the next few weeks. We're in prime time for snow retention, which was the thing that I was most excited about with this epic pattern.

That, I do not know. But I don't ever remember not seeing so much as a flake by the end of December. I'm hoping to not make history this year.

I went from a heavy dusting at 12z to a very light dusting at 0z. LOL

AC Watches up for late week!

Weather not sports report - snowing in Orchard Park NY.

City and north right now.

It very, very rarely works for us. But not never.

It snowed on March 12th (I measured 3") and it came after temps dropped from the 50s the previous day, but I can't remember all the details of the setup going in.

Who knows even what tomorrow's runs will bring? Lots can happen.

I'm patiently waiting to complete my annual snow mow. Am I going to have to wait until January? I don't ever remember doing that before.

I really should have mentioned who I was listening to yesterday. It was Eric Webb. I like him. I tend to keep my expectations in line with his thoughts and it usually works out well. Things can still change (!) but he's looking pretty good right now. He's insisted the ridging has been too far west for an east coast storm and it has been for days.

Even though I was on the outside looking in, I can't imagine a more anomalous weather event around these parts in my lifetime.

40 here and rising quickly.

That Lanco county inverted trough years ago - I woke up that morning with clear skies and dry roads. No snow had been forecast and I was zoned out on even the possibility of anything happening the previous night. I'm driving to work, heading down Chickies on 441 into Columbia, and while crossing over 30 I see this car heading westbound towards York with deep snow on their roof. I thought they came from Buffalo or something - I get to the office and find several call offs, all from workers near Lancaster and all of them saying they can't make it in due to heavy snow. I'm like "WHAT?!?!?!" I ran into a friend who lives in Manheim Twp. who casually comments that he picked up 12" of snow overnight. We live 13 miles apart. To my knowledge my skies were clear the entire night. Talk about being pissed...

Great run on the GFS. Good to see the Germans starting to buy what we're selling. Bumpy but fun ride ahead.

Thank you! It was very spontaneous-I knew it was that time and I had this indescribable feeling that it was going to be a special run. I usually do one per season...glad my one and done went well.

Totally agree! That's why I added that there's a long way to go.

I've been patiently waiting for your final tally. 1.68" was my final total. MJS for the W... I was listening to a met discussion online a little while ago - this guy says there's virtually no chance of an east coast storm next week. Almost a lock any storm will cut. Went on to say that a white Christmas can be salvaged with the arctic front and snow squalls...but he seems convinced that a coastal storm is NOT happening. We shall see.

I had a feeling the OP Euro wasn't going to be good - but your PBP was great.

I'm trying to multi-task but if I'm looking at the Euro correctly, you're going to have to spin around and wave to your west instead of your east.

I'm 57 and very seldom lucky anymore either. It's fine.
