NeffsvilleWx Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Crushed with a squall while on a walk with my son! In the middle of that squall right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Squall flew through here around 2:00pm. Ground lightly coated with maybe 0.1" of snow...mostly on the grass and mulched areas. Temp dropped from 36 down to 33 degrees in about 15 minutes. It looked really nice. Second consecutive Christmas Eve with measurable snowfall. Last year I got 2" of snow between 4:00pm and 7:00pm. The sun came out after the squall passed and melted the tiny coating. Now the temp is down to 28 with a biting wind. I kind of enjoyed the brief warmup over the weekend even though it took away my snowpack. Have a nice Christmas Eve everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Model runs the last day or so have suddenly started picking up more on a storm running up the coast in the Sun-Mon timeframe. 0z GFS and Canadian thus far tonight has shown solid precip into most of PA and a decent track. The problem? The southern stream storm is running up on the heels of the brief moderation in temps we will see this weekend ahead of the next cold air mass. The cold air mass is not really there to help PA with the storm and Canadian P-type loop shows mainly rain in PA. GFS showed a highly marginal situation for the central third where 850s are at or slightly below zero, arguably a shot of wet snow...but barely. Looks like a potentially elevation driven type of event if it came to fruition as it is at the moment...as the developing 850 low on the coast tries to deepen enough and cool the column from top to bottom.

daxx Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 It looks like the 850's cool enough on euro this run. Surface looks warm. Higher elevations might do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 It looks like the 850's cool enough on euro this run. Surface looks warm. Higher elevations might do well. Euro def looks like the coldest of the bunch on the major 0z model suite, as well as a bit east with heavier precip. Supportive temps in MDT and LNS via text data along with about a half inch or so of QPF. 2m temps a lil warm (33-34ish) but 850s below zero. Certainly indicative of a wet snowfall in this type of situation. AOO-UNV-IPT corridor has about 0.2" QPF. Either way, looks like we have something to track in the 90-102hr range.. not to mention a potential morning surprise as our regular posters check in later this morning.
