I'm at 28.4 and yet the snow is having a hard time accumulating even on my Jeep which has not been run yet today. Is it me, or is solar radiation stronger now than it was, say 30+ years ago? I don't remember snow having such a hard time accumulating at sub 30 degree temperatures back in the days of my youth.
I hope so. Sometimes sky conditions fortel what's to come. I remember a good number of years ago where the day prior, we were sitting on the edge of a cirrus deck that had blue skies to the north and west and clouds to the south and east. We ended up getting 2" out of a warned storm where Allentown and points south got double digit totals.
I'd be lying if I said this didn't make me nervous, as I've seen it before. The sun visible in the clouds at the onset of the storm. A few times, it was the the harbinger of a bust that ended up being way less than what was originally forecast.
Yeah, I know it's been "holy" all week. Maybe because it's a Sunday storm...lol
I know that won't verify as shown, it was more tongue in cheek and a bad attempt at being humorous, just like my quip above.
My observation of the bolded part of the quote is that I've seen this many times, so there's some truth to it. The flip side of that is that my location north of the Blue Mountain in Schuylkill County ends up being in a subsidence zone.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm ready for break in the cold. It makes my job so difficult, so on that note I'm hoping to see the AN for February.
With that said, I'd still like to see a solid thump before this crazy cold this week.
So does any of the more knowledgeable folks have an idea on ratios? I usually look at the Kuchera snow maps, but I know they're not 100% accurate. I'd like to see QPF and figure out the snow with potential ratios
Big fatties falling in Tamaqua currently. Started about 10 minutes ago just as I got home from grocery shopping. Twas 33 on my Jeep, so not sure if we accumulate or not.
There are a few big drifting areas on my route to Allentown from the wells on both 309 and 100. They get dicey from even an inch or two, so it'll be interesting to see how bad they get Monday-Wednesday. I might bring the cameras out to record the ride.
Not at all, and nearly every time, I'm in a jackpot zone, which almost never happens. It'll be interesting to see what the final outcome is going to be and which model verifies.
