Boreal Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 They were changed 2 weeks ago, and the local guy in town who has his station on Wunderground was at 33 for a bit. Also, the old standby mercury thermometer in the backyard was at 32, so I don't know. Sounds like ur good. Maybe the difference is due to snowpack.

mcgin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 This is a little OT but what the heck. Does anyone in the palmer township area have a total for snowfall so far this year? I missed a couple and now I have no clue where we stand. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Sounds like ur good. Maybe the difference is due to snowpack. We do have snowpack, although not as much as you guys. I'd say roughly about 5 inches here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pohopoco Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Sounds like Tom Clarke isn't believing the colder solutions...saying even some plain rain for Wed.,...barely 4" of Snow for the Poc.'s and 2"for even lower Carbon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jims Videos Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 as i just posted in the phl thread, look @ the snow maps from phl and bing....;the port jervis area in mt holly's map gets over 9 inches, the same area in bing's map gets under 2.5... what are we supposed to believe? that's a rediculous spread between neighboring agencies...

Pohopoco Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I can also...they can only hope the #1 Analog for this storm doesn't verify...they're were a few TV Met's with serious "egg on face " problem's in that one.but they should have much better guidance now...Right???...

He's been saying that for the past day and a half or more. I can understand why a NEPA forecaster would be gun shy this season. But...in a storm that COULD be as dangerous as what some of the models, and other forecasting outlets are saying, I can't see where it's wise to PLAY DOWN the event. I'm not saying he should be a hypester or a wishcaster, but if he's wrong, and Scranton ends up getting a severe ice storm, people who don't pay attention to the weather other than on the TV news could be caught off guard. That's not a good situation if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pohopoco Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Where I live(Mt.Holly) I can be in Voyager's area (St.College) or PSU's and your's(Bing.) in about 25 minute's by car,either one,so it's almost a unique trivergence and the difference's sometimes in forecasts is very interesting...to say the least...actually I can see Luzerne across the Gorge... as i just posted in the phl thread, look @ the snow maps from phl and bing....;the port jervis area in mt holly's map gets over 9 inches, the same area in bing's map gets under 2.5... what are we supposed to believe? that's a rediculous spread between neighboring agencies...

Pohopoco Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Haven't been watching the TV Met's till tonight,but the scenario you laid out IS what happened in Feb,1994(#1 Analog)...even worse for that one as they were saying nearly all plain rain and we had none...

Pohopoco Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 So I guess that put's you and me and the guy's in Luzerne basically all in the same book...I usually go with a blend,or just make my own (forecast) up...

LVblizzard Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Kinda disappointed this is gonna be a lot of ice.. Gonna ruin the absolutely spectacular conditions at Blue and bear creek this past week Agreed, and I've only skied Blue once since early this month. Conditions last week were absolutely amazing, aside from some small patches of ice. FWIW, the 12z AmericanWx WRF has a strip of 5+" tomorrow in the northern Lehigh Valley.
