Santa Clause Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 20.7 on the season imby. Went down to 2.6 last night but I think no snow on the ground helped us from extreme cold. I'd consider that a win!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Clause Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 So basically typical clipper lol. Just enough to make the trip to work a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Dropped to -1 here now. Guess I'll find out how cold it got when I get home from work this afternoon. Gotta go haul the ice...er, I mean spring water.... Can't you get a heated/insulated tanker...even to keep the cargo at about 35 - 40 degrees?

JamieOber Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 So basically typical clipper lol. Just enough to make the trip to work a nightmare. Right. This is the little Thursday clipper that isn't that strong. The two more interesting ones are over the weekend and early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Just checking in, putting yesterday in books as 4". Brutal morning working outside getting our trucks cleaned and started. Had to shut our building down and sent all iffice people home as our main water line is frozen in our water pit. Not fun trying to unthaw and play with water at these temps and wind. Honest to god my eyes were watering from the wind and my eye lashes stuck together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 So I was looking at the New England forum last night. All bragging and blizzards, right? Oh, my gosh no. You'd be about as wrong as the 84 Hour NAM with a virus. There was wailing and gnashing of teeth, mass freakouts, etc. because there were some that missed out on the storm. You know, if I'd live in New England and missed this one, I'd be like you know what, not a prob, congrats to those who got it because I get my share. I am sure many of you'd be the same. I think those guys were freaking out more than the Mid-Atlantic DC people. Anyway you slice it, that's crazy cake, man. Outright insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 All three clippers look very meh on the 12z models so far (GFS only for Monday ofc)...probably C-1 from each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFS been back a forth with Monday system. That is one to watch for maybe a bigger system. 6Z was a 2-4" event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Nobody outside of Jamie or Mag should get to excited over clippers. He's in UNV so he can cash in as well. UNV qpf is .04, .11 and .19 for the clippers on 12Z so given how good ratios tend to be for clippers, I'd say only Thu is under an inch on the models, literally. But I don't think with these things it's wise to focus on details until 48 hours out. Just that they are there. Models seem to have fits with them, as we've just seen and have seen in the past (both under and over predicting qpf) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 One thing to keep in mind for those wanting a big dog, February and March are the times you are most likely to see a double digit snowstorm in central PA. So, there's that. Valentine's storm of 2007, PD II, the Feb 2010 storms and March 2011 are examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WmsptWx Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 DT mentioned this morning that there are signals of something running from the south and hitting the cold air around the 4-10 of February. I know some are seeming jaded about being missed but it's still January. There's plenty of time. HM said winter was over after New Years and look how that's worked.

Double digit snow falls (10" or greater) occur once a decade on average in Pennsylvania. Just a tidbit that always sits in my head when see day 15 threats punch out 15: of snow on the GFS or 84 hour clown maps on the NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models seem to have fits with them, as we've just seen and have seen in the past (both under and over predicting qpf) I would gladly take a fresh inch of snow on top of the current snow that will not be going anywhere for a while... I am at 18.8" for the season so 2" would surpass last year's totals... official low at MDT this morning was 2 degrees so 2nd coldest morning of 2014 That now gives us 8 days with a daily low below 10 degrees for the month of January... While daily average and high temperatures are not near record levels, some of the coldest Januarys on record didnt have too many more than what we have currently... January 1994 had 11 days with daily low temps below 10 degrees, but the all time record -22 really helps pull down the monthly January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
