NeffsvilleWx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 It is absolutely gorgeous today. I'm officially over winter, bring on spring! (then skip summer, except the 2 week period of daily afternoon t-storms). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 53.4° this afternoon. Nice spring-like feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckyplayer8 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Gotta agree with the above. Today is gorgeous. Fook cold and dry. Either snow or give me this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r-ville Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/weather/Winter-white-flag.html As for storm threats, we noticed that on the American Weather Forums chat board someone had started a thread about something brewing at the end of the month, but the credentialed weathermen are writing off that prospect as hallucinatory . HAD to post this when I saw the previous allusion to MJ and tomotoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 My tulips have buds. And there are a ton of some kind of little brown flying insect - not exactly sure what they are. Not moths, not mayflies. Anyone seen these little guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr5001 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yes. I believe they are the remnants of JB's brain cells as he calls for a swath of snow along I80 tonight. JB is getting overly excited at hour 174/180 on Euro.... he won't admit it but hes been trying to cling on to his "it's going to turn cold" theory hes been trying to forecast since early december...

WmsptWx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Give it a rest, Wishcaster. Remember, 2006 was a weak La Nina year that become an El Nino by Spring. NYC had 26 inches of snow on Feb 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Euro hours 174-186 is probably a warning event or close to warning event for everyone including potter.

Until I see a storm forecasted to bring 4"+ within 48hrs, it remains the same story from the models. . This weather pattern is atrocious, give me an El Nino with an active subtropical jetstream any day over this boring pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 http://www.erh.noaa.gov/bgm/climate/avp/avp_annual_totals.shtml Some of these numbers are WAY off (I know 05-06 sucked, but we had to have had more than 10.9"...03-04/04-05 WAY off for sure)...still, you can see how poor this winter is right now compared to many past winters.

MAG5035 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 0z NAM ptype map says Potter's right on the line of rain and a pretty decent wet snow event Thurs night with 850s below zero over more of the north central. The clown map pretty much says congrats Potter and gives all of our starved northern folks some kind of snow. Could be typical NAM fail being too cold and too robust on QPF since I haven't really seen any other models anywhere near this. Not to mention 15 and 21z SREFs are alot further north with best snow probs. Might be something to watch where the boundary ends up as the heaviest precip will reside along this temp gradient.

I'm going to marry the NAM if even half that verifies at 4" let alone 8" lol. I seriously doubt we see anything greater than 2", I believe QPF amounts will be doable, but cold air should be lacking. Lot of WAA coming in with the cutter. A 990mb LP over Cleveland never bodes well for decent snow events, unless we have a banana HP to the north and there is none in sight. I don't doubt a quick inch or two before the change over to slop and eventually turning over to the inevitable plain rain. Climatology argues against anything greater than 3" for here with a LP of that strength over Cleveland. Plus the other day we had a much weaker LP sit right over PA and it brought temps into the 40s! I'm going with the overall trend of the winter + climatology for these types of events, and I'm going to forecast no more than 2" for here.
