Parsley Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I think Tom is just temporary with his GF here or has it become permanent with him moving in? If so he never asked if its ok it to invade my/redsky's area . If he is permanent I'll have to be more accurate with snowfall measuring and not fluff up my numbers otherwise he may drive over to verify edit: just saw Tom has locaton as Qtown so it must be permanent? congrats Tom! Just stay in the boro . Looks like Quakertown is the new "Manayunk"........should work out well for the upcoming snowstorm when Quakertown racks up 10 inches of snow while PHL goes from snow to rain.

LVblizzard Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 If we can get the high to the north at the right time, I think we all see frozen precip on Christmas Eve. If not, it's an inland and elevation event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Any similarities between this and Xmas Day 2002? As of today its more progressive than that system was. For I95 there is a similarity (as of today) of being thermally challenged. I feel bad for mapgirl18, no posts. Less ridging forecast to our west than was the case then.

mattinpa Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 18z GFS is encouraging for post-Christmas again, but I'm wondering if light-mod snow is our best chance, since if the low gets much closer in this pattern things could go wrong.

RowanBrandon Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'd lock up the 18z solution in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phlwx Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 in the 18z gfs only wave 4 (hr 174+) gives anyone near Philly any snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 in the 18z gfs only wave 4 (hr 174+) gives anyone near Philly any snow. At least in years gone by that's the wave that brings the snow to I95, each wave progresses a little farther southeast and with the last one its finally cold enough for snow.

cast4 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 in the 18z gfs only wave 4 (hr 174+) gives anyone near Philly any snow. Yeah, that one is piquing my interest a little. GFS has been pretty consistent with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattinpa Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 funny thing, that wave isnt even snow at philly...bl is warm..might be rain snow mix... It can snow with a bl a little warm; GFS 2m temps aren't the best indicator at this range either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 It can snow with a bl a little warm; GFS 2m temps aren't the best indicator at this range either. Taken verbatim, that sounding shows rain. Maybe a few mangled flakes. Just sayin'. At this point I wouldn't bet on any snow, or even hope for any. Let what may come, come.

I think the BL temps are the least of our concerns right now. Let it take a good track with a source of cold air and we could be in business. That timeframe is the one to watch the most, and no, it's not a certainty. But good to track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quakertown needs snow Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Joe Bastardi January for much of the nation from the plains east, south of I-80 may be warmest since 2006. Conversely, pac northwest coldest in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good to track. the fact that the euro has a 1032 high over maine and temps and bl issues are warm says alot. Also the fact it has a weak/perfect storm track for this weekend and its rain says how ****ty this pattern is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a better cold air source than we've had for a storm in a while. This storm could be the good timing storm we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
