Hurricane Agnes Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Getting some very light stuff as round 3 from the Hail Mary pass. Temp down to 32.2F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Getting nailed. Right under the pass. Got a light coating out there - very powdery so blowing around but sticking to the colder sidewalks and concrete-paved surfaces. Probably a couple tenths of an inch so far. Temp down to 32F.

BBasile Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Snow was coming down pretty good for a short period around 8 PM. Just some flurries currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Winds are here. I can hear them through the walls! Out of the WNW with some 20 - 30 mph gusts. Temp down to 30F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmorninglight Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Light snow and winds kicking up. 37f first snow of winter. Let's hope this is a new beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattinpa Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Good snow squalls here in the Royersford/Collegeville area. Picked up about an inch. Finally a wintry scene! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 1.3" with the impressive snow squall here in NW Chester County in East Nantmeal Township Temp down to 22.5 - high wind gust was 30mph during the sqaull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Nice overachiever here in NW Chesco. Got 1" from first squall and another 0.2" from 2nd round. Worst road conditions I've seen around here since the ice storm almost 2 years ago. Traffic was stalled for over 4 hours on route 100 in front of house with vehicles at all sorts of angles and nary a salt truck. Plowed driveway. Arrived at work in King of Prussia to bare ground with little evidence that it snowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 GFS is pretty comical. We get the cutter this weekend followed by BN cold and a coastal that goes OTS then warm up for a day ahead of another cutter next weekend followed by more cold and another coastal that goes OTS. At least we don't have to worry about a drought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yeah, every year it seems a certain pattern "sets in". At least we can get cold now, it's not like December with a wall-to-wall torch. Hopefully we can reshuffle the deck a little and score in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we don't have to worry about a drought... I'm not sold on the medium-long range GFS op progs at all. We see how it handled the storm for the coming weekend. Flipped and flopped around in the LR which is sort of expected. I haven't had the chance to compare the LR GFS OP with the GEFS or EPS yet so I can't say for certain, but I have a hunch those LR progs on the OP (cutter, OTS etc) will change quite a few times.

Not really, GFS has been sold on the evolution of this storm as a cutter to coastal too late since about day 8. I'd say it's handled it quite well.

I'd say it's handled it quite well. Not a big deal but there were 2-3 solid consecutive runs that had the weekend system as a coastal snow bomb. There were even references made here to Jan 1996 comparisons at that time. So, it may have become consistent following those particular progs but in its LR the evolution was quite different with zero hint of a GL low.

RedSky Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 12z GFS with a SE snowstorm quickly following our rainer, skims our section close enough for several inches in Delaware and south Jersey while NW portions miss out. Time will tell if it is a one run aberration but classic strong Nino screw event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 When the models vehemently disagree with each other to this extent inside of 120, it is a clear indication of a pattern change coming. When pattern changes happen, we often get our best shot at storms. Not saying this will be the case but some of our biggest storms have occurred when the neg NAO begins to relax/flip. All the while, the PNA is progged rather consistently to remain positive. This, IMHO, is a huge indicator of a big storm on the horizon. Whether this is the sub 960mb LP this weekend or something else early next week is still tbd, but all options are on the table at this point regarding a potential big event between Saturday and next Tues/Wed.
