Voyager Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 ordering 2nd load of triaxle bulk salt, these small storms use up the same amount of salt as the bigger ones since the policy at campus is "wet pavement" only I know our guys haul a lot of salt. Do you know which trucking company does the deliveries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Forecast is certainly aggressive. Maybe the snow comes in before midnight tonight and goes into early tomorrow morning. Then the same thing for tomorrow night and Wednesday AM. Then a repeat for Thursday PM perhaps with some snow falling early Friday AM. So that would bring us to eight straight calendar days of snowfall with a combined total accumulation of one inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaoPos Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm pretty sure @ this point in winter, we've had more salt accums than snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Here's the change that i suspect most will like . Feb 25- Mar 7 colder than normal,stormy. Storm tracks shifts to coast or just offshore. Nope. Not me. By that time I'll be in my new job running regional from Virginia to Maine, Ohio to New Jersey. Don't need that stuff once I'm back out on the road...

tombo82685 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Unfortunately that goes along with a -PNA., you aren't seeing it lol. There is a solid ridge from the pacific going right into the arctic circle. You can also see the southern stream underneath it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaoPos Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 May be I'm not seeing it right but it looks like it has the westerlies screaming across the country in a zonal flow, I hate those SV h5 NH maps... way too big of an area. the euro ones on the other hand cover just enough area to show good details. anyhow, Harb.. This might be easier. It's a split flow. The Northern jet pumps up into canada with a meridonal flow. This takes the warm pac air into alaska, and over top of the ridge, cold canadian air drops into the central US and bleeds east. That's the flow^ Here's the result: Warm in Alaska, cold air into the conus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbourton Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I get the cold air part, but how are you going to turn a storm up the east coast with that flat flow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HM Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 At KPHL there has been a decent streak going on of some type of recorded snowfall: 1/31 62/30 0.1"2/1 32/23 0.1"2/2 30/18 0.5"2/3 33/26 0.2"2/4 32/23 T We should at least get a "T" for today, for sure but the toughest will be 2/6 and 2/7. If we can linger some snow showers this evening around, perhaps we can get a T for tomorrow. 2/7 would rely on the upcoming system to bring WAA snow /mix into the city before midnight. Friday speaks for itself. It could be a nice run. Certainly a snowy start to Feb, wouldn't you say? Gee I wouldn't want to be forecasting /involved in the snow and ice industry right now.

chubbs Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We've had more than our fair share of measureable snows this winter considering its only been cold for 2-3 weeks. Here we're only one away from our 09/10. total of 12. Unfortuneately this years events average 0.8" while the 09/10 average was 6.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool to see what some of our longest runs in history were of measurable and recorded snowfall (with traces). I'm sure there are some pretty ridiculous periods in history.

Boch23 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 this was taken out of the nyc forum. I'm not sure how good the rpm model is, but take with tons of grains of salt I will take this with as much grains of salt that have been dropped on the road the last week.

greg ralls Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Since I'm always grumbling about not being able to cross-country ski during these crappy last 2 winters, a friend of mine wrote a poem about my woes: The Snow by Saul Stice The snow there is so little snow One thing I know You can ruin your cross country skis with so little snow The snow it comes from clippers and when it's cold my jacket, I zipper but hey did you know you can ruin your cross country skis with so little snow I would really love to go Cross country skiing in the snow but there is so little snow I will ruin my cross country skis in so little snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 this was taken out of the nyc forum. I'm not sure how good the rpm model is, but take with tons of grains of salt That's pretty ballsy to put that on a broadcast. I know they labeled it as model output and I'm sure the on-air met communicated likewise, but we all know people will look at those numbers and at least give it some level of credence. What's the value in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
