Ralph Wiggum Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Anyone want to start a thread on the February 24-26 threat? Looks real as all the long range models have it. PV or a piece of it dives into the northeast by the last week of the month as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violentweatherfan Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 So I did a search and found "bluehens" doesn't appear to be banned. I understand his post were negative, but he wasn't that far off when he would comment about an upcoming event. Am I a fan..no, however his accuracy wasn't that far off from what he was predicting and would be a nice "counter point" to temper over excitement. Is he suspended for a while?

It seemed like he was just bittercasting rather than tempering expectations and predicting what would happen. Big difference. Doesn't look like he's suspended, though.

eastonwx Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I don't know how it is down closer to Philly area, but there is some serious roof ice damming up this way. Solid ice on gutters, I think mine may rip away when it starts to thaw. Some awesome icicles, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 AM low here in NW Chesco was 10.5 - ten of the first 16 days this month have remained below freezing for highs - in a normal Feb there are normally only 6 such days.....just an A+ winter by any standards this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are those snow piles? Could they last til May? I'm running out of room to put snow and don't have the strength to throw another shovelful on top of the pile!

I'm running out of room to put snow and don't have the strength to throw another shovelful on top of the pile! Snowpile's doing great thank you, how about you, lol? I didn't even add any to the main pile last week, the storm capped it nicely, gave it a nice look. It's about 7 feet high now, hard to throw snow up there, so I added to it length wise. Biggest (handmade) pile I've ever had honestly. I am a bit of a maniac though. I doubt that they will last till May, unless we tarp them or something when it rains, lol.

My tallest is not quite that high, but it's going to take a hit from the the ever increasing sun angle and inevitable warming temps. Now tarping, there's an idea...

Now tarping, there's an idea... lol...I try to keep driveway debris, etc., out of it (with mixed degrees of success) so it reflects the sunlight better. I'm thinking I might need to do a little reseeding underneath where the pile is on the lawn, later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rib Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Sorry Rib Do you want a ride to work tomorrow I can go in late but I'm also expecting an buttload of Amazon shipments. Coffee, sugar, etc... The whole point was to not have to go out and pay more for them. This winter is killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pohopoco Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 My roof icicles are big also,since I had already snapped some off that were easy to reach and stuck them upside down in the snowpile...They're back...Hit 5f about 8 this morn...I'm with the thought this winter is still 'On'...Just seem to have a twinkling of a feeling starting maybe a another 'Big' one or two on the plate...

Quakertown needs snow Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hurricane Schwartz just said we haven't gone longer than 7 days this winter without seeing snow Glenn Schwartz @HurricaneNBC10 35m If you think we haven't seen a break from the snow all winter, you're right. We have not gone 7 straight snow-less days since Dec. 8th (PHL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMal88 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 And what Hurricane said is exactly why I feel that this is the top winter Philly has ever had even though 2010 had more snow, well so far that is, we still have a shot at the top spot this winter IMO. The snow train this year for our area has been just awesome and I haven't seen the grass in my yard, aside from a couple days during January and even that was patchy, since December. The cold air has definitely been more impressive this year than 2010 and the frequency of events has been epic and the pattern looks to stay on repeat after we warm up for a few days this week. You know you've had a lot of snow when people on this site start groaning about the snow instead of cheering for it. My shoulders and back say we've had enough but my true weenie self says bring as much as we can get and then bring some more lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
