NortheastPAWx Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The dryslot looks quite pronounced until you're almost to the Delaware River. I'd say 2-4" is a possibility but no more unless you're near the NY State border or well east. PA notoriously does poorly in these transfer of energy/dryslot type scenarios. How are you thinking for us here in the northeast jm? Models keep varying for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Clause Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 2 to 4 is a safe call maybe even a bit high! 1 to 3 will be common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 For my area, per Earl Barker's page, the NAM shows, as of 18z, a 6-8 inch snowfall, and the GFS a 4-5 inch snowfall. So as of now per the models 4-8 is the range, at least for eastern Schuylkill County. Not bad, all things considered. With a few more model runs to go we'll see if they go up or down, or stay the same. Time will tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 The dryslot looks quite pronounced until you're almost to the Delaware River. I'd say 2-4" is a possibility but no more unless you're near the NY State border or well east. PA notoriously does poorly in these transfer of energy/dryslot type scenarios. Hard to dispute that. I'm all to aware of the dreaded dryslot with Miler B's here in the LSV, and most models surely depict that happening here, but the slightest sharpening of the trough here will make appreciable differences in what we get as the secondary looks to transfer below off the Carolinas. That said, the pattern has always been a progressive one and while "tempted to believe" yesterdays Euro, I knew that the pattern didnt fit that run. I still think we can eek out a 3-5 in many central pa locals if what I stated earlier happens. If not, then 1-3 is a safe call w/ the 1" down my way and the 3" in IPT.

canderson Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 This is a fun forecast to see. Thursday Night Snow likely. Additional moderate snow accumulation possible. Much colder with lows around 5 above. North winds 15 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 70 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC rarely gets a true winter anymore it seems. I live in York County and commute to Gaithersburg, MD. Going from 25 and snow to 39 and rain seems like the new thing down there.

jm1220 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 NAM has .3-.4 QPF falling here with temps in the single digits 1-4am Friday It's going to be a fun storm I think. As the trough swings in, even the places that are initially dryslotted should grab a few quick inches. I saw your question earlier just now-NE PA is going to be a tough spot because you'll have to see where the coastal driven precip kicks in later on. If that happens you can get 6"+. If not, 2-4 like everybody else in PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
