famartin Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 2005 and 2000 come to mind as dud winters which turned active. Hope should not be lost yet. However, if you wanted a blockbuster... yeah, hope for that should be dwindling quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Somehow I don't think that pic is from anywhere around here during this winter :-). I am still optimistic that we will see snow on the ground at some point (before spring). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Although getting colder shortly thereafter a high of 60 for Sunday 1/4 is depressing. Certainly not football weather....may as well air out my place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW did better (6.3 @ PHL vs. 21.2 @ ABE). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbourton Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Just to give some balance, I think tour dandelions are short lived. Snow - that's a different animal. http://mp1.met.psu.edu/~fxg1/CMCNA_12z/hgtcomp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields27 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 6z GFS and Para have a quick 1-3/ 2-4" before the change over tomorrow in most of Pa. Especially NW of 95 and a little more in central/northern Pa. Sure to get washed right away but it's still something. Then after the cutter we are in the freezer, but of course mainly dry as the clipper tracks way north... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 surprised to see 1-3" for tomorrow on weather.com Depends on where u r located.

Fields27 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Posting in banter because I really don't know what I'm looking at yet but the 18z nam really doesn't look too rainy after the frozen start, just kinda dryslot until the front moves through.

RedSky Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Next week is looking impressively cold, more so than any of the "bust" winters offered since 2000. Lowered my expectations however to normal snow amounts and hope for the best here on out. With failed blocking a 2009 like finish to the last two months of winter wouldn't be too bad.

RedSky Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Weather World had a stat about the most days in PA not getting above freezing in 2014, I think it was State College, since 1978. Impressive especially considering the mild December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive especially considering the mild December. Yep - see my climate post a very cold year in 2014....all despite climate change/GW etc. - that said JB and the WB team continue to toll the bell that the next 3 of 5 years should be much warmer than normal....that should give plenty of ammo to those who believe in GW. All the young folks who don't quite understand what normal for this area will be cryin the blues as we get back to what a good normal Northern Mid-Atlantic winter looks like!

famartin Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Guidance has come down for temps today but the NAM at least is definitely busting low to the south and east so not a lot of faith in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Now chance rules the roost for the next two months of winter. Failed -AO and -NAO thus far and unfavorable MJO leaves us with needing to make the most of opportunity when we have the cold. The next 7 days is bringing an impressive -10F departure for January. We have a clipper and a storm chance with overrunning next Sunday let's see how we do. Separate the great and very good winters into column A and the clunkers in column B and the majority end up somewhere in between. Some winters such as 2005 you get lucky with the late January super clipper and then there's 2006 and 1983, winters that would have ended up with snow totals only in the teens.

Over the last 20 years (1994-95 through 2013-14) there have been 6 in column A (30" or more at PHL), 9 in column B (less than 14"), and 5 in between. Trend has been more "feast or famine" it seems, although this winter still has a decent chance at winding up as an in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
