January 6-8 1996 happened you should not have forgotten about that?

Thats what physical geography can do with the South Mountain Range to the SE and the Blue Mt to the north. Adiabatic winds in banding snows is just like t- storms in the summer coming over the mts and hills and getting blown apart too. Sorry for your loss. SE Lehigh County and much of northern and central Chester Montgomery Bucks Counties was the jackpot area where the heavier band stayed together near the downslope side of S. Mtn and dropped additional precip. Northern Lehigh County had only 3-5 inches because of the way this storm traveled too. I am sure the final snow map from Mt Holly will clearly demonstrate this too

ABE had officially 5 inches - just reported. Here at my house- nearly 7 inches. South Mountain Screamer for sure. From eastern Chester, Berks , Lehigh, Bucks, Northampton and into NJ all along the South Mountain Range and especially elevation driven - anywhere from 5- 8 inches of snow- take your pick. Geography rules folks.

ABE had officially 5 inches - just reported. Here at my house- nearly 7 inches. South Mountain Screamer for sure. From eastern Chester, Berks , Lehigh, Bucks, Northampton and into NJ all along the South Mountain Range and especially elevation driven - anywhere from 5- 8 inches of snow- take your pick. Geography rules folks.

right at 4 in here in the Macungie area. Still snowing moderate to heavy. Snowing moderate to hard in macungie ---- right at 4 in. A S Mtn Screamer as shown in this radar shot too. LOL

still holding on 3 to 5 inches at my house where the snow does not band as the LP digs in. S Mtn range looks like the jackpot in the latest runs. If banding occurs between 2 -5 am - 2 inch hour rates are possible. Someone is going to get smacked in our area.

Folks, I have stuck to my guns. This map says it all - South Mtn special with banding. Lollipops of more than 6 inches across S Mtn region. Be prepared for a winter storm warning to be issued. for some areas during the storm event. This is a "now" event -lets see what happens I go by physical geography, not by dam roads as do the models. Bear Creek is going to love this storm

Its a tough call period. Banding could be an issue as the S Mountain area favors that the last few years. I got nearly 16 inches a few years ago while other got less than 6 inches. Either way it goes, the snow will immediately stick given given how cold it is right now. The big tell, is how cold and dry it is right now 14 degrees at my house with dew points in the single digits. That is a hell of lot of dry air to overcome in this typical alberta clipper. I expect a lot of virga. That is why this event is a wait and see game if the moisture gets more involved with this clipper before the shortwave digs in off the coast.

The higher snow ratios maybe achieved north of South Mountain which could lead to a solid 3-5 inch snow event even in the LV if get good digging and upper moisture. South of South Mountain range will be more moisture acceptable so this is a tough call for the LV. The mesos are also having a tough time absorbing the digging aspect of this event -- the GFS was lost-- and the fact there maybe one hell of alot of virga throughout the profile until it collapses. We have a lot of cold dry air to overcome for this event to unfold. This storm event could easily become a debbie downer based on this fact, especially for those north of Philly.

you should be looking at the mesoscale models now. GFS is unreliable IMHO, especially with digging clippers for our area

Fantasy Christmas storm shows up again this evening runs with over a foot and half. WE can only dream. White rain all day here but at least it was some precip. Take.

New York poster are scared because no water in the reservoirs means no water for them regardless of how the polluted Hudson looks. The bitter cold is locking up the streams everywhere with ice too- so the water intakes in the rivers will be the talk too. Just look around hear- the Jordan creek is already frozen over with the little water that is in it. It might as well be empty. We really ne3d a 3-5 in rain event with 50 degrees for a 3-4 day duration event. Any one see that in their crystal ball?

no relatives but watch what comes out of DRBC the next few weeks. A basin wide drought warning maybe implemented by them by mid January if we do not get any moisture Up this way. The southern jet stream is simply too far south and the northern jet stream will not bend to bring it up. Their is enough short waves below Memphis but they are dying on the vine in the Tenn Valley. WE NEED TN VALLEY SHORTWAVES FOLKS TO PRODUCE UNTIL THEN YOU GET NOTHING TO TRACK.

I have seen so much convoluted crap in these long range models last week or so.- it is so sickening. These LR models are so undependable when the southern jetstream gets cutoff and whisked away along the carolina coast for snow making in our region. All I am saying is you all better hope we get some deep moisture storms coming from the gulf or the atlantic, or we are going to be in one hell of a drought come spring. Right now I see no significant precip in the next 2-3 weeks. These clippers are bone dry. Less then . 25 inch of any type of precip is absolutely worthless when the dewpoints are in the single digits and below zero and the winds are at 25 mph after the clipper goes by. Its a dam desert out there. Snow will sublimate and rain will evaporate within hours. My humidifier is running like gangbusters right now and its not even mid-January. We really need the gulf moisture and it it just cannot get to our neck of the woods because the barrage of bone dry clippers keep it at bay below Memphis Tn. I have never seen such a relentless pattern in my 50 years of studying weather for the eastern US. It will take a very deep low pressure sitting in the gulf and spinning shortwaves toward until the pattern breaks. When this will form I have no idea but frankly the only outcome we are all going to see is fricking utility bills that will be doubled or tripled from last year with all of these cloudy, dreary cold days under 32 degrees. My november bill nearly doubled because this dam dry and cloudy weather pattern already. Snow weenies, lets hope for a good and really an original four corners low to reform in the gulf and head up the spine of the appalachians at the same time the SE ridge is retreating, especially around Christmas. Thats the only chance of a good storm I see worth tracking in December. Anything else is a shot in the dark right now as everything and I mean everything has to line up perfectly to see a 6+ in snow event before Christmas. Signed debbie downer LMAO

Posted this on 11/23 Where the hell these long range so called weather gurus snow weenies seeing snow for our area on facebook and other media sources and who are just trying to make a few advertising bucks playing up the polar vortex bs but the current models are sure are NOT portraying anything like this right now for our area.. Every single snow chance has now dwindle to rain/mix event and also an insignificant rain event at best for our area as the cold dry air is winning the battle. The models have shown only one positive thing in the last two weeks for a major pattern change and a possible major snow event for us but when it will ever occur will just be plain luck. If you old timers recognize the current major pattern shift on the last weeks runs which we have not seen in nearly 6-10 years is identified as the four corner lows which are developing and pushing into the Gulf of America. Then these lows are quickly re-energized with a ton of moisture and are setting up for a good Miller A type of storm event- rain or snow along the east coast. The lows south of New Orleans into Tampa are impressive on the model runs. This is the best look in model runs in a long time as it appears the GOA is opening back up for business, however these low pressure systems are also quickly becoming southern sliders too. The cold dry air that does come through with a cold front is NOT retreating back up into Canada so quickly before the moisture reaches us. Would not be surprised if the Carolina's up to Washington DC sees more accumulating snow then us this year. This pattern is slowly setting up for a lot nuisance mix storm events snow/sleet to rain for our area if this keeps up. A pure snow event will be hard to come by in the next few weeks
