Voyager Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 6 hours ago, CarlislePaWx said: Had to be from thunderstorm events with training I'd say. Hard to imagine just one county away and that huge of a difference. Didn't Voyager say he had something like 70 or 75" up his way too? Those differences had to appear during the summer months with all the TSRW events we had. How much did you have in July and September? I had 9.5" in July and 10" in September. Yup. I'm at 73.38" right now after getting 1.82" so far today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Granted the beam is at 7500’, but it’s still impressive. Nice thunder, lightning, and some wind here in New Cumberland. . Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I'm at 78" for the year. Heck...might as well root on another soaker for late next week and take a run at the magical 80" mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Transition to snow is beginning in the Laurel's with snow evident on some 511 cams. Temps down to the upper 30s but no mixing here yet. Radar starting to show the transition zone pretty well with a distinct rain to snow boundary running the Allegheny front (solid line) and the mixing zone down to around 2k feet beam height (dashed line).

Wow. And with those 3 bands also came the arrival of the winter solstice at 5:37pm! Only thing I don't like about today is that the days start getting longer. I say that just wishing that the really short days lasted deep into the real heart of winter, not because I dislike more daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: changeover here now, a merciful end to another miserable rainstorm in a year that's had enough of them. The warmth for the day was kind of nice actually, it really hasn't been all that warm at all this month for the most part. The very warm day will be brief and modeling is starting to pick up more on this potential Christmas Eve mischief (looking more towards Christmas Eve..Eve). Now showing more on the GFS and the NAM at range is seeing it. New 0z NAM run had a 1-3" type event in central and eastern (Harrisburg and above generally in the LSV). Probably going to be a weak event but it represents a shot a perhaps a white Christmas over at least a portion of the subforum. This is of the variety that would favor the western mountains and some central areas but a slightly more robust system could run a swath across all of PA. Beyond that, it appears we're set to endure another cutting storm in the between Xmas and New Years window after having seasonal cold. It hasn't been an issue of temps so much as unfavorable storm tracks this month. We unfortunately missed the one to the south mid-month that would have made for the rout being on in terms of tracking towards an above average snowy winter. Been looking at teleconnections and NAO/PNA/EPO don't really show anything to me extremely clear cut. the -NAO is somewhat negative (okay), PNA going negative (indicating western troughing) and EPO somewhat positive (meh). The one thing I see in the teleconnection realm is we are pretty solidly into phase 5 in the MJO... which in NDJ,DJF, and JFM indicates one of the strongest correlated signals to eastern warmth and SE ridging. I actually think it fits fairly well right now if you look at the maps pertaining to this phase (Temp and Precip). It obviously hasn't been particularly warm, but the last couple events have featured unfavorable tracks and rain for the region. I think once we cycle towards more favorable phases we could see a better alignment for potential snow events. I remain fairly optimistic of things once get into the thick of winter (Jan/Feb) if we continue to have an active pattern (esp southern stream). I definitely foresee opportunities.

Blizzard of 93 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 The period from New Year’s weekend to the first week of January look to be very active with a few winter storm chances. The general theme looks to be cold air pushing the boundary south of PA, with Lows then riding up the coast that deliver the snow to CTP. The Euro & GFS Ops & the ensembles are saying that we will be very busy here next week! All that I want for Christmas is for this Euro Control run to verily!

And I thought us more educated types followed the meteorological winter timing meaning we are a week from being 1/3 into winter. That fall thread title needs to come down. LOL.
