sauss06 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yeah, looks like we'll be getting 15:1 to 20:1 ratios if the temps verify can't remember when we had a decent cold stretch lasting that long. last year we had a couple days i think, but not a week if my memory serves me right!

canderson Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ensembles and weeklies have the cold (a little warm blip later next week but still chilly) until the 2nd/3rd week of February, stormy during this time too. After that looks like winter is about done (moderates). I'm excited to see some ice on the Susky this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually was able to walk about 1/2 way out during 2007 after the Valentine's Day storm. That was a surreal event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually was able to walk about 1/2 way out during 2007 after the Valentine's Day storm. That was a surreal event. A surreal Susq. river story.. during the winter of 96, when all the ice started coming down the river (when it tore the bridge down) My FD covers an area that runs along the Susky, during that time we evac all those homes. At one point during the night, we had a call at one of those homes. We had to walk, carrying all of our gear down to this house over that ice. It was pitch dark except for the moon light and it was very quiet except for the sounds of the ice, it was almost hair raising. I may be totally wrong here, but weren't the blizzards of 93 and 96 both miller b? http://berkswintercast.tripod.com/id85.html I thought this as well?

As for Jan'96 I'm less sure about that but I don't think is was Miller B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, that's pretty much the storm all Miller A's are compared to. 1996 was also a miller A, but did not ride the coast as classically as the 1993 storm. Miller A storms form in the south or GOM and ride NNE up along the coast. Miller B storms usually move ENE until near the coast where they make a more northerly turn. Miller B storms do have a "rip off" zone where the energy jumps over and transfers to the coast. That's the fear with this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billabong Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If anyone is interested, our new graphics system debuts on WeatherWorld this afternoon. Over the past couple months, nearly everything has been recreated minus the studio. Also switching to 16:9 format, which will please those with HDTVs, although not at HD resolution.

Dry slot...grrrr A surreal Susq. river story.. during the winter of 96, when all the ice started coming down the river (when it tore the bridge down) My FD covers an area that runs along the Susky, during that time we evac all those homes.

It was pitch dark except for the moon light and it was very quiet except for the sounds of the ice, it was almost hair raising. I thought this as well? The Susky ice memory I have is in 77 I went to York Haven with my father and mother to see it. My dad wanted to show me it. I was 9 at the time. Never forget the sounds, creaking and like people moaning, then noises like a gunshot or firecracker. The ice was moving fairly fast and I watched in amazement as it ripped the front clean off two bungalows along the river with a loud crash. There are some remarkable historic pics here; http://www.yorkblog.com/yorktownsquare/2008/08/26/i-take-it-your-father/ If anyone is interested, our new graphics system debuts on WeatherWorld this afternoon.

What system are you using? I used to write the documentation for Galileo when I worked at AccuWeather. The 1993 superstorm was a textbook miller A. In fact, that's pretty much the storm all Miller A's are compared to. 1996 was also a miller A, but did not ride the coast as classically as the 1993 storm.

Miller B storms do have a "rip off" zone where the energy jumps over and transfers to the coast. That's the fear with this storm. Yeah, definitely was. A good example of a Miller B is the 83 blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Miller B's are nothing but headaches. I'll pass. Still struggling to reach double digits with 15-20mph winds out there. WCs ~ -10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 wicked winds with blowing snow here today. From my office, I can see the next building through an outside window, the building has vansihed several times in blowing snow. the building is about 100 feet away.

Eskimo Joe Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Pretty cold, but progressive flow looks to persist across the Commonwealth of PA and New York State over the next 5 - 7 days. Outside of the lake effect region, any organized snow threat should be from quick hitting clippers that drop 1" - 4" of snow. I do think a storm will impact locations south of I-80 Friday, but with it being moisture starved and no downstream blocking it is an advisory level event at best. Thee preponderance of American and global numerical guidance continues to suggest the system never truly gets it's act together until the storm is offshore and rotates around the long wave trough over eastern Canada. Plus the antecedent is incredibly dry which could equate to a portion of the storm being virga. Wish I had better news, but any widepsread warning event snowfall seems highly unlikely during the remainder of this winter in Pennsylvania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
