  1. Mix line gets up to Scranton. Not ideal. Really hope the Euro holds tonight.
  2. GFS/ICON still like the Philly area. CMC looks lost with a wildly strung out low that still brings a mix to the Poconos…makes no sense. UKMET and Euro next!
  3. 12z models are all over the place so far. CMC and UKMET rain on Philly, ICON is a big snowstorm, while the GFS nearly misses completely.
  4. Remarkable agreement between the GFS/CMC/Euro ensembles. They all have a major snowstorm on Saturday into Sunday.
  5. Euro joins the party with a really nice snowstorm for most of us!
  6. January 2016 did this exact thing. Models were remarkably consistent over a week away. Run after run was a massive snowstorm. Then about 3-4 days out, some of them shifted south. I recall the Euro even missing Philly for one of its runs. It took until the day before the storm for all the models to come around again.
  7. GFS/CMC and its ensembles are all in for next weekend. UKMET is a big hit too. Let’s see if the Euro follows…
  8. I doubt it. It’s been drizzling in Allentown tonight. If it’s not snowing here it won’t snow in the Philly burbs.
  9. GFS joins the Euro. Looks decent for the Lehigh Valley northward but if you’re south of the turnpike it’s more rain than snow.
  10. Next weekend’s storm threat looks pretty good. I’m much more concerned about suppression than rain and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see lots more flip-flopping on the models. Hopefully it works out and gives all of us a decent snowstorm. The mid-week threat isn’t very promising. I think some areas could get an inch or so from the northern stream disturbance but a bigger coastal storm seems pretty unlikely. New England is still in the game, although not by much.
  11. Woke up with a dusting of snow on the grass. It’s almost gone already. I still haven’t seen a single flake of snow actually falling this winter as I was in Europe during the first week in December and I woke up too late to see it the other two times.
  12. The Kuchera maps actually showed lower totals than the 10:1 maps for this event. For the big events they can get really weenie but for borderline events like this they're generally the more accurate maps.
  13. And now no snow chances for at least the next two weeks! Yippeeeeee! It’s like last winter never even ended.
  14. You still think we’re getting 1-3”? I doubt we see anything more than an inch, and even that’s being a little generous.
  15. Really wish that GFS would verify but I don’t trust it at all in setups like this. I’ll be watching the NAMs and HRRR much more closely today.
  16. 0z models have begun to come in and the HRRR is painting a very snowy picture for the Philly burbs into the Lehigh Valley and Poconos.
  17. If we could lock in the 18z 3km NAM I would be VERY happy!
  18. 12z RGEM spoils the party and says everyone loses but the Poconos. Still a positive trend from 0z.
  19. 12z hi-res models are really bullish on Monday morning snow, especially west of I-95. If we can get that trough to dig just a little more we could be looking at some decent accumulations closer to the cities.
  20. The first region-wide snowfall will happen sometime between December 1st and 6th. Why? I’ll be in London that week and it would be my luck to miss the first snow of the season.
  21. Medium and long range models are picking up right where we left off last winter with a warmer than normal pattern for much of November. There are some hints of pattern change after Thanksgiving but for now, we don’t even have any possible first flakes to get excited about.
  22. November is freaking boring. No hurricanes to track, no chances of thunderstorms, and snow is still weeks away. Looking at the long range GFS doesn’t even give us any fantasy storms. It’s just a brutal month for weenies.
  23. That was a good 2 hours of continuous thunder and lightning here. Enjoyed every little bit of it.
  24. Getting treated to a fantastic light show just west of Allentown. Haven’t seen nighttime lightning this good in a long time.
