Bubbler86 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hanging on to moderate snow here. Measured about 1/2" now on top of cold surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Looks like trend of the models yesterday taking away accumulations turned out to be correct. If current radar is correct it's about over here. Temp 31.8. The snow only managed to begin to stick to my board and nowhere else. The board is white, but it definitely isn't 0.1" of accumulation. Best I can go with is a trace, however I'm not keeping track of traces in my snow records below. Today is day 8 with solid snow cover (high temp only 34.2) and I'll keep it going into day 9, probably up until the heavy rain arrives late tomorrow night.

I'd bet on the cooler outcome for this particular system on Sunday. The southern LSV turnpike and south may make a pretty good run into the 50s but other than that I think most of our area runs mid-upper 40s to near 50. Now the next cutter slated for later next week looks like one that will drive some very warm air into the area with no CAD setup out front and a significant southerly flow. 850 temps are progged in the 10-15ºC range for a fairly extended period ahead of that per Euro and GFS. If that gets mixed down that'll def be a warm period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Have a bad feeling today was the last day we see flakes falling this season down in the LSV. Hope I’m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Heard that there is a flash freeze like situation on route 30 for miles once leaving McConnellsburg and heading west. They had about an inch of snow and wet roads are now ice. Heard a scanner report. Google Maps shows it as a backup as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I’m wrong. The advertised pattern on the EPS continues to say that we are probably not done with snow chances. We should have one more window of opportunity opening on the 17th through the end of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 26 degrees this morning. Now with the clocks changing this weekend does that mean we get an hour less of rain. Thanks for your thoughts Mag & Blizzard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you meant + not - buddy boy? Get more coffee. Ensemble guidance still looks good for the St Patty day period and beyond, I think blizz is right, we should see chances pop up/tease as we get into next week. A few sw's belly under in that period so it bears watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotchu. That period has been consistently showing up as the last good window for us, and I've been following it for a few days now. Tellies look to be decent for that period, so its not some unicorn that were chasing. All my buds are up snowmobiling, and I'm sitting here looking for digital snow....what the heck is wrong w/ me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Have to say it feels really good outside today. Kind of a reality check that the seasons are in transition now. Tomorrow emphasizes that reality with the later sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daxx Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 After our small window of opportunity after the 16th I would be happy with four weeks of at least dry weather. I do not want another summer of rain and floods again. Last summer was truly disgusting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daxx Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 As we stand right now I am a little worried of our favorable period coming up. It looks to turn colder but there is no real storm signal at all anymore. This of course can change but for now it looks cold and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see some northern stream disturbance giving us something. I'm looking for a southern stream/coastal. A 1 to 3 or 2 to 4 is only a stat padder now. Then again two days from now it could look totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the +PNA & eastern trough, we should have a couple of more chances at snow before the end of the month. The 12z EPS continues to advertise a good looking pattern starting next Sunday. I think more threats will emerge on the Ops in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 The MJO on the Euro & GEFS continues to come to a screeching halt at the beginning of phase 4 in the next couple of days. The GEFS takes us back to phase 3, heading towards 2 & the Euro takes us into to circle null phase, but in the direction of phase 3 & 2. We should have one last chance at a run of winter weather this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Down to snow piles here but spent the day driving around mountainous Northern Franklin and Fulton County and it is like a winter wonderland there. 6-12" snow pack, soft January like snow, snowmobilers galore. Was nice to see especially since it was so nice today so great to walk around a bit. Only that constant haze made it less than perfect. We went to Cowans Gap State Park and the large lake there is frozen solid at least 50 feet out (which is how far I ventured not wanting to risk it). The ice was "feet" thick. Could not see any water through throughout the whole lake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
