Fact is, we've been super spoiled down here, and the folks down south of us have been even more so. Our climatology suggests we average one 10" or greater storm every decade. Here in Lancaster, we've had at least 6-8 in the past 20 years, and I might have missed a couple. It really has been crazy. I didnt realize we had a good thread going from last year. I do remember putting my best foot forward at giving our forum some PBP which is arguably my favorite thing to do when in storm mode. Yes, I'm just a little bit punchy right now, as I'm tired of backloaded 4- week winters, so any of you naysayers be warned. While WMSPT was watching last years blizz....just remember that outside of that storm....it largely sucked donkey balls for us here in the LSV as well. I too want a large scale hum dinger that we all cash in at varying degrees. I wont feel jipped. One storm does not a winter make for me. I need snow in the air....frequently. I WANNA SEE SOME FRIGGIN SNOW DAM IT!! So who do I send the check to for my therapy session? I feel a little better now that I got that off my chest. Pattern rolling forward still looks much more inviting for snow. I'll make it. Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickg2 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 SWMBO (She who must be obeyed) looks for snow days as much as I do. (we both work at different schools). I was really surprised that we had a couple of light snowfalls while I was off work recovering from surgery. I was able to go out to sweep/push one of the snow events with the broom and shovel. the others I didn't even bother to clear. THe last time I was off work for a back surgery was when we had the three days of 4 inch plus storms in 2014. Monday's event looks interesting. local mets are staying rain....

I find it interesting how we had 3-4 straght runs showing the cold nose pressing further SW down the Apps, and then all of a sudden....hit a wall and went backwards. Guess thats why I never really got excited as I knew this on didnt have the cold in place, and for most of us, home grown cold is not something most of our forum does well at, my area being the worst by far. My gut says true NC Pa into interior Poconos has best shot at pulling it off. Hope the cold press starts up again so that many more can get into some action. I'll be wearing my rubber boots.

heavy_wx Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The 00z Euro was too warm for snow over most of PA, aside from maybe NE for several hours at the onset of precipitation. There is a high strengthening over Quebec that allows for some ageostrophic flow of cold air into our region. However, the air mass is fairly mild ahead of the coastal storm so this cold ageostrophic flow may not be enough to produce snowy atmospheric profiles, even with evaporative cooling. Also, the relatively mild air mass results in a weaker temperature gradient with respect to the Atlantic ocean temperatures, leading to lower available potential energy for cyclone growth. So the dynamics of this system are not going to be on the same level as a classic, rapidly-deepening cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 i know we all want SNOW, however i was just telling a co-worker come summer we'll be happy we got this rain in now, or we would have been in serious trouble come the first couple warm days in the spring. its raw out, 35 and rain.

pasnownut Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 And.....then the NAM goes and tugs me back in...a bit. only panels I can view are 700/850's and they definitly look better than 06Z, but surface temps mid 40's.

Good rates can overcome surface as long as midlevels hang tough. Would definately lose a lot of qpf in doing so. Ground warm n saturated....meh...and ya'll know I'm no Debbie.
