colonel717 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I am gonna post this just for fun. Mondays threat according to the gfs 00z. Wish we could look this in. I think with the next 3 clippers 4-8 inches would be very possible for WPA with possible blizzard conditions Saturday. While not major snows for a single event, the fact that the 3 clippers are so close together will hopefully make it seem like 1 long event.

jwilson Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I did see an 8" and a 7.5" out of Morgantown Wow really? I'm on the northern side but that still surprises me. I don't think wind affected my measurements that much. I will say it didn't seem like we had the best snow growth all day (very small flakes throughout).

KPITSnow Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Something to really consider with us going in the deep freeze the next week and a half, and a possible favorable pattern for storms in February is if we get a cutter with lots of rain and a thaw at the end of the pattern there could be major flooding issues. The rivers are likely to freeze over completely, as much as they have in quite some time as I am having a hard time remembering an extended stretch of under 20 degree weather like this recently. Something to keep an eye on for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Weekend system looks like its dropping between .2 -.3 qpf per 12z NAM and GFS, if that trend continues it seems reasonable to say a widespread area of 3-5 inches are possible. Monday system looks to be trending more NW, need that thing to track along the M/D line then swing North, but still time to see how both of these potential events will evolve.

JamieOber Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hahah of course....but we had a phase for that feb 2010 storm no?....it does happen further inland.....that's what I was referring to-lol The storm this week wasn't a phase, it was a wave on the arctic front that redeveloped on the coast. That's what I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Was just browsing through the New England thread and came across this: http://www.wsi.com/blog/energy/sub-seasonal-u-s-temperature-outlook-bitter-cold-weather-is-anticipated-to-continue-through-the-end-of-february/ If you are rooting for cold through the end of Feb it should make you pretty happy! If this verifies I hope we can time a nice moisture laden system with one of the outbreaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvfd404 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I too keep seeing varying amounts. Heres hoping we all get large amounts with this storm and/or with future storms.

north pgh Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 So how much snow are we getting? I am seeing vastly different predictions anywhere from 1-3 to 4-6.

colonel717 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 So how much snow are we getting? I am seeing vastly different predictions anywhere from 1-3 to 4-6. Where are you seeing higher amounts? NWS has 1-3 inches. The latest GFS has a snow hole in AGC. I have seen that snow hole on models for a few days now. Expecting an inch or 2 of blowing snow in SW AGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I see PBZ has dropped totals from 3-5 area wide to 2-4. Yeah, I am seeing around .2 qpf, except the NAM which had almost.3 (and it's only right when it shows less qpf than other models ) but either way 2-4 looks good and I think most should be closer to the 3-4 range. Keep in mind a few .01 one way or another will make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailman Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Looks like we're back to 3-5" from PBZ. Down here, I think 2-4" is more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
