WmsptWx Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thats a gut punch for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Altoona/State College. This storm will single-handedly change people's opinions on winter but these folks will only be more jaded. They can't buy a storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Man I hate being on the edge. The Euro ensemble mean is probably the best thing I've seen this afternoon for the UNV-AVP corridors, though the GFS is hanging in there for now as well. But the 12z Euro ensemble mean seemed to look like it jived fairly well with the map that Ellinwood had posted earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Clause Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Lol we only do well on storms that drop 4 inches of wet snow and turn over to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paweather Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 if this is a sharp cutoff as indicated on models today, I even worry about down in the MDT corridor right now. It is not a lock for sure. LNS/York maybe so but that northern edge is ever so close. I hope trends tonight on 0z turn back the other way like most of last night's runs or we could also be on the outside looking in. Places 30-45 mins away feet of snow and us, high clouds.

MAG5035 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'd love our resident mets to do maps tomorrow, a little contest or something! I'm gonna try to put something out by tomorrow or tomorrow night, if I can get my GIS software to cooperate with generating the new maps I started putting out last year. Either way i'll have amounts in either text or a map but it'll probably be after another full day of guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Highlands Wx Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hey everyone! I wouldn't throw in the towel yet in the JST-AOO-UNV corridor. All we need is a shift NW and we will be ok. There's still time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think realistically this has any hopes of moving (or well the precip cutoff not be so freaking extreme) 50-100 miles N so we can get more of you central guys into the better returns? Or are we about as far north as it can possible get now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 We feel your pain in the Pittsburgh thread... it sucks, but somebody is always on the outside looking in. These sharp cutoffs just rip your heart out if your on the wrong side. The problem is that it's always the same folks on the wrong side. Storm after storm...
