Rdd9108 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Well you can throw the towel in one this one as well. Until I see any sign of a -NAO I won't get excited for any storm even one day out. Have fun driving on monday, hopefully if it doesn't snow this can just turn to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 STJ STJ !!! Despite it's best efforts, this winter just hasn't been able to muster much offense on it's own. As we saw on Sunday night into Monday, the cold air alone isn't doing the job. We need to trade for a "hired gun", and that playmaker would be a strong STJ. Like any trade you gotta give something to get something. These dry arctic airmasses are overkill, a strong polar intrusion should be enough. Coupled with the energy and lift from the STJ, these storms will be more dynamic, resulting in better significant snow chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdd9108 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 8 inches. Is that too much to ask for? Good news is the MJO is not affecting the pattern like it should. The MJO was in phases 5/6 during the past Arctic blast and that usually means extremely warm temperatures for the east. Yet that did not happen. Hopefully we can get some blocking and get atleast one warning critera storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 There's snow chances here and there, but I can't really get too excited until a closed h5 low shows up on the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 This doesn't really mean anything, but back in the winter of 92-93, we were basically shutout from mid December to mid February. Then for one month we made up for lost time. Now alot of that snow was from one storm, but still very active nonetheless. So at least we have a little something to hope for.

Rdd9108 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 So I found almost 100 gallons of fake snow from our failed senior prank so if it doesn't snow soon. I am going to unleash these. I think this could fill my livingroom up with a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdd9108 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If this next stretch of cold doesnt give us atleast one good storm. I am packing it in for this year. No point in staring at models all the time when I can be more productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 You know it's been a bad winter snow wise when the complaint thread is getting more posts than the actual weather thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdd9108 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 These next two storms 24-25 and 27-28 just look like they are going to fringe us. I want to believe one of them is our storm but lets be real it will be snowing in late march when we want it to end. Yayyy for the snow drought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Maxing out on snow potential is in our blood, nothing can change that. However even if mixing occurs, most of us in the metro should get at least 3-5 ". IMHO I feel this storm maxs out at 8" anyways. I know... I hate mixing as much as anyone, but in reality our big storm is a strong Miller A that travels up through the piedmont. 2/16/03 and 2/5/10 are the rare exceptions.

jwilson Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yeah this result is pretty much what I expected after yesterday. Storm looks great for ~10 days (minus a few off runs) and then in the final 48 hours, it cuts north by 100+ miles. This is a true 40+ north winter, just isn't our year. There are always chances in February, but at this point the pattern is what it is: I'll be writing off all storms until we get into the 24-hour window and all looks safe (with a large cushion for misfires).

tsteel Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yep another miss for SW PA, funny how the same thing happened march 1st storm of last year expect that time the models trended way south after having a 12 inch storm for everyone about 3 days out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yeah, I was hoping the heaviest precip would be snow, then get drizzle/dryslotted for awhile. This trend has been kinda brutal to watch. Lol. For me personally, its still better than the cold suppressed shutout. But not by much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yep another miss for SW PA, funny how the same thing happened march 1st storm of last year expect that time the models trended way south after having a 12 inch storm for everyone about 3 days out It is amazing that no matter what, we get a terrible trend here. We are supposed to get a 10 inch storm here every 5 years...It seems the last 15 years or so there was 2/5/10 and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
