Itstrainingtime

Timing looks pretty rough for the evening rush down this way. That, and some 1-2" -1"/hour rates could make this an event with some impact. Also, it's in and out in just a few hours...

Pretty good QPF bump on the Euro for the southern crew. Like Daxx said, any snow tomorrow in this pattern should be cherished.

Warmth almost always overachieves...I fully expect to make a serious run at 70. AC is a given. I think tomorrow might be a nice little surprise for some people.

Talk about cold powder...most of that storm occurred with temps not far from 10 degrees. We all remember what happened the following week...

It'd be nice to get SOMETHING this week before we get really bigly ugly next weekend. At this point I'm typically looking for more than a nuisance event, but beggars can't be choosy in this pattern.

Well said...MUCH prefer to be going through anxious days and sleepless nights talking about white gold but that isn't the hand we're playing with. Yet.

Just came up over Chickies Hill (between Columbia and Marietta) and couldn't see squat in front of me. Scary stuff.

I've had my heat on for parts of 3 days...

On and off sprinkles here. Happy New Year's to everyone. Be safe tonight!

That is a great picture. Interesting climate over there...I've been stuck at 43 for hours.

Yeah it really does...I was going to say it but tried to find something positive lol

Currently light rain with just over .9" for the event. Need one more good shower to push me over the inch mark. We do rain well.

Took my wife on a walk on the local river trail after the Cotton Bowl and I was sweating pretty good. Gorgeous spring day! Until we snow I'm fine with this weather.

I feel the same way guys...at least until it snows. Then I want bitter cold thereafter.

Yes...we've strung together a few days with frosty starts and mellow afternoons. Honestly the weather recently reminds me more of early November than late December.

Sunshine and 50. Beautiful day to walk on the river trail with my wife!

The last time the Canadian model was right on anything, I had hair and wore braces. Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas or whatever it is that you celebrate and let's all hope for better (whiter) weather in the New Year!

I totally understand why people don't want to read "meh" or negative posts. It drains energy. It's depressing. It's not fun snd and it's not what we want to read. Truth is...being meh about something usually is correct 90% of the time. I've seen snow maps posted in this thread this season already that have added up to many feet. So far my ground truth is just over 3". As nut said I'm ready to move on now as well. Let's work on getting something that will make all of us happy.

One thing about the Superstorm of 1993...it was labeled a "once in 500 year storm" for a reason. We'll see our share of big snowstorms going forward but it's HIGHLY unlikely we'll ever experience a storm of that magnitude in our lifetime or for generations to follow. It is the storm that all storms will be measured against.

That's exactly the scenario you were looking for yesterday...

Lancaster and Allentown both reported 5" of new snow at their 5pm hourly measurements. That might explain my lack of memory.

I actually drove to Rehoboth Beach, DE on 1/24/2000 to watch it snow the next day because it was supposed to miss us wide right here. Ended up spending a couple of extra nights since it snowed more here than it did there. As a beach nut I was so excited to go and watch a huge storm at the ocean...oh how I wish I would have stayed home... I don't remember the storm you're talking about...though i remember 4/6/1982 very well. 9" of cold powder WITH drifting...on April 6th.

Feb '83 which made my list was forecast to be a 4-8" kind of deal right up until the morning it started. It quickly escalated from that to 8-16", 12-24", and finally 18-28". From 2-5pm I received 12" in that storm.

I believe 'ya...I must have been too busy posting on here to notice. Valentine's day storm was sleet...I mean sweet. How much did you get in '93? I recall Chambersburg topped 30"...

Those are the best... My memory of '78 is somewhat hazy now, nearly 42 years later. I know it was a Miller B that only affected extreme northern/northeast MD up into New England. Many in the far northeast US benchmark this storm as the granddaddy of them all. Amounts of 30"-40" were common and winds gusted to 100 mph (?) out on the cape. Lancaster county was fortunate to get into an intense deformation band and we ripped snow overnight...I went to bed with green grass and woke up around 5am with over 1' of snow and true blizzard conditions. As a 12 year old that was pretty cool stuff.
