PottercountyWXobserver Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think it all depends on the timing of the low pressure cutting into southern PA and the transfer over to the coast, to see if areas below I-80 to see 6"+ . I think this will be a tough call for the next few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001kx Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Well unfortunately with this storm I think its going to give areas of southern PA a messy storm, while areas that normally do good in these situations north of I-80 might be ok. Its tough because I can see this map having to shift more to the NW if this storm does decide to cut in the Lakes, but as I see it now this is my first call. I don't make maps very often, but feel free to give me some feedback, negative or good not to be critical but the way you have the low going i dont see it as either apps or cutter.

PottercountyWXobserver Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 not to be critical but the way you have the low going i dont see it as either apps or cutter. yeah its poorly drawn, I'm thinkin it tries to cut just up the western side, then transfer to the coast, but I really don't know at this point just an educated guess, but whats your opinion on the storm? I thnk this storm might be an inbetweener for apps and cutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PottercountyWXobserver Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 regardless i would take your scenario if it played out that way. Do you remember how alot of the storms progressed the last two years with most areas above I-80 saw good snow while others suffered, this storm may do that based on the teleconnections and lack of blocking. The one thing I think that saves the area is the -EPO, I'm afraid though with the lack of HP in the Great lakes this sucker tries to over phase and cut way to the west through the Ohio valley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Whats nice is the GFS leaves behind a piece of energy for a possible storm later next week? I'm glad it did this because if the system took all the energy and phased this would def be a chicago storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001kx Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 gfs numbers are 1.07 = 13 " snow but for some reason i have a bad feeling about this storm...i felt better about the last storm this far out but we know how that worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scummyratguy Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 here's a snippet of Eric Host's discussion this afternoon... I'll let ya'll stew on it. "Canadian high pressure will then take control Sunday into Monday with unseasonably cool conditions. That will set the stage for a complex southern storm Tuesday night into Wednesday. While it will be a few days before we can dial in details, the pattern should dictate an initial track to our west (up the Ohio Valley), but then a jump to the northern Mid-Atlantic coast. With lots of cold air and snow cover over the Northeast, this may pan out as a significant snow-to-ice storm across our area. Check back for more details over the weekend.

" This has the potential to be a big snow-to-ice event. There's plenty of cold and snow to our north and this system will have some juice. If we can keep the phasing to a minimum before it reaches the apps, this could be something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Festus Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 What does he consider north? This is for PA only. Obviously impossible to define this far out but I'd like my chances north of 80. And it's not like south doesn't have a lot of potential either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 It basically snowed in Harrisburg all day sonce 11 or so and you can't tell.

JSTWX Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 The makings of a nice overrunning event: The confluence coming into New England should keep this from cutting too far west, likely playing out similarly to the Euro and GFS solutions.
