Mailman Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 At least the GFS is starting to look a little bit chilly in the long range. That's a start, boys and girls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Had several louds crashes of thunder and lightening last night! Pretty crazy for this time of year. I've got dandolions popping up in my yard and varios trees have buds on them, not to mention the grass is growing! Anyways Merry Christmas everyone! Looks like things might start to get interesting as we head into the new year if current modeling is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some potential for early next week Mon/Tue. Seems to be trending in the right direction. Still some work to do, but could be a mixed bag.

wxjunkie Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 At least it won't be so warm Monday..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I'm perfectly fine with the mild weather if it's not going to snow. Cold with little nuisance snows does nothing for me. That's basically what we had the past couple of winters. Walking around without a jacket on has been quite enjoyable so far.

It must be getting older, but I rather it be warm then cold and snowy. I like to get a huge storm, but hate the 3" here, 4" here, 2" here crap.

north pgh Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I am in SW NY for the week. Had moderate freezing rain and sleet for 7 hours. Temp has now just climbed above freezing. Looking forward to driving home in lake effect snow this weekend and colder weather in Pittsburgh for the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailman Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 A lot of damage down this way over around Uniontown. Wind must be howling pretty good up along the mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChalkHillSnowNut Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 yea the mountain itself wasn't too bad-but a few miles DOWN the mountain into Hopwood-and they had a ton of tree and home damage I saw today. Huge trees totally blown out of the ground with shallow roots and all....weird crazy!!! Hopwood is typically the wind tunnel between Uniontown and Farmington/places on the mountain.....now lets get this pattern changed for good and see what we can get!

RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Looking forward to the start of January. Hopefully the pattern being advertised by the GEFS actually comes to fruition. The warm weather was nice, but I'm starting to miss the snow so I'll gladly even take some seasonal temps and a 1-2 LES event but really hoping we can get a bigger storm too and longer range the pattern looks favorable to support something bigger so we shall see.

I suppose that could change. I wouldn't get too worked up about it. The OP models are probably having a hard time dealing with this massive pattern change. We have a negative AO, negative/neutral NAO, positive PNA,and a negative EPO and WPO coming. I like our chances as we stand. Until then maybe we can get a sneaky clipper. Those like to show up last minute sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel717 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The talk has been of possibility around the 1/10-1/15 timeframe. Of course it likely wont play out like this, but this would be our luck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best chance at getting accumulating snow thus far this season. Love your avatar btw, did you ever play the Snow Bros game on the Sega Genesis? It was one of my favorites.

Love your avatar btw, did you ever play the Snow Bros game on the Sega Genesis? It was one of my favorites. Thanks! I had never played or heard of the game until I googled it. I recently moved here from DC and used to discuss weather with some weather enthusiasts on the Capital Weather Gang blog. Us snow lover used to call ourselves "Snow Bros", so one day I decided to google it and see what came up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Well, well, well.. Looking good. To bad the best will happen after midnight, but it will be nice to wake up to a white ground hopefully! I think everyone should get at least a solid inch, but as with lake enhancement someone in a narrow band could hit the lottery and end up with 3 or more inches even outside the typical areas.

psunate1977 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I think those totals for low lands are generous. Eastern areas which high the higher elevation usually do better. One thing about LES is its so hit and miss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing about LES is its so hit and miss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Seeing the short term models gives some hope for atleast an inch. But just like mid november 2014 there's always a chance for a strong band that drops 3+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The HRRR sets up the heavy band in Ohio, although It's not particularly accurate at this range. How good is the HRRR with LES events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
