famartin Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 The rgem is no joke. Well... most places around this forum it had much more than what fell. Only near NYC itself was there an inch plus in reality. PHL had a trace. The 'rents near Trenton had a measily 0.2". I don't think that's really an RGEM win.

famartin Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Most places along and southeast of I-95 managed to crack freezing today. Further northwest, no such luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute Humidity Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Well... most places around this forum it had much more than what fell. Only near NYC itself was there an inch plus in reality. PHL had a trace. The 'rents near Trenton had a measily 0.2". I don't think that's really an RGEM win. GFS and NAM had nothing, sure my placement from philly north and east was slightly too far south and west but over all you can't deny the RGEM's idea of enhancement toward the coast was correct. Mt Holly never updated PNS since 9:52 am. I know there were reports of 1" in Belmar and Red Bank and had an inch here. Which just happens to be the most I've seen in a single event this sad sad winter but we're bound for cluncker sooner or later, just hope it doesn't become another opposite extreme like 2011-2012 was to 2010-2011.

RedSky Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 We are not going to take advantage of opportunity with the cold this first half of January and with the impending 4-7 day mild up to follow weenies are going to be agitated for sure. Rather rough considering the extremely rainy December to see this debacle unfold into a mostly rainstorm next week. Just four weeks from wanting spring.

famartin Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 GFS and NAM had nothing, sure my placement from philly north and east was slightly too far south and west but over all you can't deny the RGEM's idea of enhancement toward the coast was correct. The GFS and NAM had a modest amount of QPF. Similar to what fell over most of this sub-forums area. Even in NYC, actual QPF amounts were less than what the RGEM had; the local airports mostly reported less than a tenth of an inch of precip... it was ratios that got things going good up there with many areas 20:1. The GFS and NAM may have been a little low up there, but the RGEM was still too high even there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Fairly certain middle east and Africa snow is a terrible omen for our winter like October snow. Remember seeing the same in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 What a kick in the nuts next week is turning out to be. Monday now warmer and thursday system on gfs takes near perfect track for some yet yields rain with lack of cold air.

Redmorninglight Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 It's winters like this where I'm glad I live down here since my expectations are always low. The Atlantic is just a disaster and the coastal plain almost always needs its cooperation to score. I'll seriously be satisfied with a 2009 like turnaround with a few clippers and one good dump in Feb or March. January down here sometimes feels like an extension of Dec. even the 96 blizzard was a mixed mess here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penndotguy Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I think we all should have seen this coming after last year's brutal cold and snow not scientific but its unusall to have such brutal winters follow. Anyway I for one am glad this sysem on Monday is trending away from the Ice storm to plain rain, dont get me wrong Id rather have snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluescat1 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 What is causing the low water advisory on the Delmarva coast? I have heard of blow out tides in the bays, but this is in the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 High here today in NW Chesco was 17.3 after an AM low of 8.6.....tuning up the generator as i don't think we ever see freezing in the NW Philly burbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I for one am glad this sysem on Monday is trending away from the Ice storm to plain rain, dont get me wrong Id rather have snow Still can't say for sure how things will end up, but I think most people doing outlooks for winter took the El Nino as a guaranteed event, while in reality it has not really come together. This likely influenced many outlooks. Right now CPC still has a watch but the chance has dwindled to 55%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Reilly Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Currently 33 now here in Media was 13 at 730 whoosh...said last week warming is not far away to our south without much of a snow pack and no negative NAO to lock in the cold....thinking icing in the morning here in Media Delco will be minimal.

Morning rush will be a mess especially n and w but we should still get to the mid 30s by noon/early pm. Plus not to mention guidance continues to warm us up faster with each run. When I say many dodged a bullet I am speaking in regards to the .5"+ ice models were showing a few days ago. We won't come close to that type of accretion in our respective locales Paul. Messy and slick, yes. Crippling, probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Ok what looked like a significant warm period running through MLK for a week or so has morphed into nothing more than a couple mild days between cold shots of say +5. But the pattern is still an awful one as indicated by todays ECM with 2 more cold rains around days 5 and 8 This winter is getting old fast. Much rather have a +2F January with 10" snow over -2F with cold rain and 2-3" yuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
