I just think the cold air mass in place is going to erode that northwest shield away more than what we'd want. yeah, cant argue that for a second. It would be nice to see true Central PA in the perverbial bullesye. Lord knows its LONG overdue. Oh to the good ol' days. Winters still young....wish I was.

MAG5035 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 When it comes to the potential NW extent of the precip shield with this impending coastal system, Washington DC proper for a change is in a position that's normally reserved for somewhere in the middle of this subforum trying to figure out where the snowfall cutoff is going to be...say like State College. They'll probably end up with an inch or two, but they could have 5"... or none. New Euro does sneak snow (about an inch) into the fringes of York and Lancaster counties, we'll have to keep an eye there but outside of those two counties I don't think anyone in the rest of our subforum is going to see anything with -15ºC or less 850mb temps across most of the state. Too cold and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite likely there's going to be mixing/ice issues in the first part of the event, especially up your way. Good thing is right now most of the warm advection precip is progged to lift up west of us, which takes away a lot of QPF we'd see as a mix. The low lifts up way to the west of us.

Itstrainingtime Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 January '96 is still my benchmark storm. I received the same amount of snow (30") as I did last January, but...I just liked that one better. Of course, getting a couple inches 2 days later followed by 10" more 3 days after that and it was an epic week. Then the following week happened and all hell broke loose on the Susquehanna.

If i'm going strictly imby I haven't seen a 20"+ storm since probably '93 or '94.. and being 7-8 years old at the time I don't remember as much as I'd want to from those blockbuster winters. Jan '96, PDII '03, Feb 5,2010, and last year's storm were all low-mid teens snowfall here. Though last year I missed 20"+ by about 10 miles while having 11". Last year's blizzard took the cake with having the most extreme cutoff (18-20" in southern parts of Altoona to 11" here to 1-2" in Clearfield).

Blizzard of 93 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 5 days after the blizzard of 96, the LSV got almost another foot of snow from another coastal storm. Also, in between the 2 main events, there was a clipper system that gave us a couple of inches. Meanwhile, I'm having radar hallucinations with the system down south. I'm trying to will the precip into CTP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 1 minute ago, canderson said: Jan 2016 will never be beat. Ever. 35.0"...biggest of my life...agreed. Though, I must say that Jan '96 really was probably my favorite. Temps in the single digits at the start...maxed out in the upper teens....after close to 26", but it was impossible to measure with the winds. Also, a true 24-hour+ storm, very hard to get one to last that long. Plus, the models didn't catch on to the shift of the storm until less than 48 hours beforehand. Really a great, great storm. Also, that winter was the largest cumulative snowfall (living in north Jersey) with 93" total. I remember after still getting snow well into March, by that point I had had enough and was ready for spring...LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
