PennMan Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Figured I'd get this started as our somewhat failed rain to snowstorm winds down, as that thread has exceeded 1000 posts. Looks like some seasonably chilly weather the next several days, should be some lows in the upper teens around the area Saturday and/or Sunday morning.

PennMan Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Had a total of 1.46" of rain yesterday, just piling on to the already record we year. I guess we technically had a trace of snow as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itunis Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 That's a surprise, indeed. I wonder what places such as Tussey Mtn and Nittany Mtn received? Mount Nittany is nice and white, and the ski slopes are nicely covered as well. Obviously I can't estimate amounts, but seeing how long the snow lasts can give us an idea of how much they got.

r-ville Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 IMBY at 880' we had a very decent non asphalt surface coating to an inch. Mix started at 7:15 and was snowing predom by 7:30 as temps crashed an stout 6F in 1.25 hours between 6:30-7:45. Incredible TSnow rumbled long and loud at 7:40 and once thereafter. The "mountain" tops surrounding Hbg were very scenic at daybreak. Not a bad little packet all in all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 That's a surprise, indeed. I wonder what places such as Tussey Mtn and Nittany Mtn received? I'll let you guys know about Tussey after I get my tree stand either tomorrow or Sat morning. We hunt on Tussey off of the Barrens region and it's usually good for decent snow in the type of event that we had yesterday. I would imagine there's at least a few inches. Speaking of hunting, been meaning to share with the hunters in here but it got busy with the storm potential.. bagged an 8 point early Sat morning last weekend.

JamieOber Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I guess day 10 on the Euro and the 18Z GFS around day 9-10 there's a storm. DT mentioned it as a potential threat, fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT mentioned it as a potential threat, fwiw. 10 days away, eh? Looks like we have a particularly boring 5-7 day stretch coming up here. Should be a couple of cold mornings this weekend at least. I'm thinking we break into the teens Sunday morning. Currently 26.4° here, I don't think we'll drop much below 24-25° tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite frankly I was SURPRISED by this... Europe ensemble has fairly strong split flow on the west coast with the Northern Jet showing +PNA while Southern Jet has potent looking system. ALEET ALEET!

New 0z GFS def has this threat, timed around the 20th. We're likely gonna have to take another rain event in the chops later next week with a lakes cutter..but this longer range seems to have been whipping into shape...for now anyways. The long range storm is classic southern stream gulf low to jersey shore coastal... haven't seen that kind of event/setup show up in the models in any fashion in a long while. I think key for our geographic area is to get a good +PNA rolling while lowering the NAO to neutral (not necessarily needing it way into negative territory). We'll see how it goes.

Yea actually seems like the first storms modeled to go up west enough that it just tails a front and less rain through.. If lakes cutter is how its gonna go than i'll take that.

Nice Buck Mag I saw that monster buck again on the way home. Saw him three weeks ago. Biggest damn deer I have ever seen. I had to come to work for a couple hours, then i'm hunting hard today and tomorrow. The 100 acres i hunt, there are 2 very nice bucks, 1 is a 8 pt. about a 140 class the other looks like a 9 or 10 pt. 140 class. as of now, their winning the battle!

JamieOber Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 From CTP: IF THE FRONT STALLS OVER TX AND THE NRN EDGE OF THE COLD AIR PUSHES THRU NEW ENGLAND...THIS COULD LEAD TO MORE RAIN OR SNOW ON THE NRN EDGE. DAYS 7/8 ARE TOO FAR OUT TO BE TOO CERTAIN OF MUCH AT ALL. BUT THE OVERALL PATTERN IS HIGHLY SIMILAR THRU ALL THE GUID...AND IT DOES LOOK REMINISCENT OF THIS LAST STORM. Someone page easternuswx....

At least there is some solace in knowing that it would be nearly impossible to get less snow out of it than the last storm. It was pretty cold here this morning, 23.7° for the low. Currently 44.1°.

From occasionally lurking in the New England threads I know that "toaster bath" is a popular term with those folks up there when discussing busts and overall bad patterns.

Storm Clouds Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I can't believe no one said anything about today's 18z GFS! Yes please! That would basically make everyone have snow on the ground for Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I have a feeling this winter is going to be a painful one The long range doesn't lock in cold air but transient in nature. It gets pulled in after a cutter than it leaves before anything meaningful comes. At this point I just hope for a white Christmas. Although I did pick up another .2" of snow this morning from the mini lake effect last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
