MillvilleWx Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Little icy this morning coming into work, but nothing I couldn't handle by taking it easy. Roads seemed fine. Was actually worse last night before I went to bed. 31/30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 It was icy coming to work ( most schools have delayed starting, the rest have closed.) Sidewalks are a mess. 32F in WIlkes-barre with a light rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Clause Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Actually gotten worse here as the morning went on temps dropped to 28.5 and our driveway is a literal ice rink. This light mist/rain is making it pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 What a horrible winter day. Round 1 gave us about a quarter inch of snow and sleet followed by a lull. Then round 2 commenced and gave us about a tenth of an inch of ice before warming above freezing. Now sitting at 34 degrees with a cold rain and partially frozen slush. I can't wait for May...

It is about as vile as a winter day gets. We had nothing but some freezing drizzle and light rain this morning, not even anything to coat the old snow. Temp hovering right at 32°. Salty gray slush and slop everywhere, low clouds and fog. Just gross. Tomorrow's sun with a high near 20° will be glorious by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 A guy in the office today said, "This winter's essentially over. Sun angle from here on out hurts chances of snow, might get to not use the shovel once the whole year!" I'll laugh in his face when his car's plowed in with cement sometime in February.

MillvilleWx Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 How easily they forget. Some of our biggest storms have happened in February and/or March.If anyone has read Dr. Ucellini and Paul Kocin's NE Snowstorm book, they would know this area is actually more prone to bigger events in February, especially the last 30 years. No way we punt now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 While we wait, lets have some fun. I have a couple of theories, Most storms will start or finish in the night hours. Most storms will be on the weekend or days connected to the weekend. So why is that? First , during the winter, it is dark more hours in the winter. And take the seven days in the week, take the days in the weekend and the connecting days, you now have over 50% of the days. This was a response to a post sometime ago by an inet met.

Voyager Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 2006-07 winter defines this for sure. Absolutely. The Valentine's Day nightmare, and then right around St Patrick's Day. Beyond that, in my 47 year lifetime, I can remember a few fairly potent April snowstorms as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Well my season average is 36.4 and I have 13.8 so far. I would like to think I have a few more storms coming this winter. The rest of this week doesn't look to exciting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Could we hit 50 Saturday? Southern tier and Lower Sus Valley might make a run at it either Sat or Sun.. as could the Harrisburg metro if we have a sunny enough day. 850 temps don't look overly high on the models (in the 0-5ºC range at best) throughout the commonwealth.. so I don't think 50s will be widespread (prob a lot of low-mid 40s). Given that we are nearing the bottom of the curve in terms of average temps as we get into mid January, those will still be notable + departures for that day or two this weekend.. even if they aren't really blow torch warm. The warm up does appear short lived as seasonably cold air is progged to return to the region thereafter. The pattern certainly doesn't look warm overall, but the trick is getting some storms in the mix. By the looks of the pattern alignment with a quiet southern jet, western ridge, and a continued lack of -NAO blocking, we will probably have to look to the northern stream for any notable systems of the snowy variety next week.

Voyager Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 So I go outside for a smoke (yes I know, it's bad for me), and what do wondering eyes spot? Some VERY light snow falling. Not that it will amount to anything, but I didn't think ANY precipitation would get north of the PA/MD line, let alone up this far. It's not showing on radar, but as God as my witness, it's snowing up here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
