CoraopolisWx Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Although the event was minor, elevation still made a difference today. Down on 51 near Woodruff, there was barely any snow left on the grass. But up here on Brownsville Rd, there's still a solid inch left on the cars and grass. The trees look nice also.

Rdd9108 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 I just got back from my uncles funeral and decided to check the models after laying off of it for awhile. Well the Euro looks good for everyone but us. Once again south and central New England look to most likely to be the spot to be. a lot of time to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I had a dream last night we were hitting the 90s around Christmas. I think we hit 100 degrees closer to the New Year. An odd dream to have, sure, but it happened. I think I'm snow-starved right now with all this rain we've been having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdd9108 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Almost half of the Euro Ensembles show a decent hit for us but maybe 10 show a bullseye hit. Hey maybe we can squeak a sneaky inch or more. Doubtful but we have seen crazier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 About 30 hours of steady rain totaled 1.5" at KPIT. Would've been nice if even a quarter of that had ended as snow. As for Tuesday, the biggest issue IMO is how fast an H5 low can close off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 i am assuming the earlier the better.Oh yeah definetly.Usually our best postion for the H5 is around E. Kentucky. Unfortunatly that doesn't appear to be an option based on the models. However if we can get that upper low to close off south of the delmarva, our chances off moisture being transported into our region are better.

Rdd9108 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Im surprised more people aren't talking about our snow chances. The euro and even the ensembles are west and 15 show a really good hit. The Gfs ensembles also agree with us possibly getting snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Finished up studying and looked at the Euro. No way it happens but low retrogrades all the back to Philly sits there for 24 hrs and we get a decent thump. NWS not buying the Euro though, its currently the western outlier even with its own ensembles. I've been keeping a causual eye on it but hard to get excited about a storm when you have to put all your eggs in the retrograde basket. It will be interesting to see if todays OP euro was onto something or not. Long range starting to improve pattern wise around the 20th with a pretty typical nino look. Hopefully we can get a nice moisture laiden soutthern stream spine runner this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
