WmsptWx Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Groundhog fails to see shadow, predicts early spring. I would have to imagine a shadow sighting with how putrid this winter has been would have warranted ending the tradition. Oh, and meatball subs and buffalo chicken dip for the Super Bowl. There is no sports franchise I hate more than the Kansas City Chiefs, so I'm going to be more interested in the pre-game poker with my friends and the Demi Lovato national anthem performance. May make it awkward and crank one out, you know, for America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today could be nice with “snow TV” out the window & the game later on ! Never thought of chicken chili...All sounds good, enjoy the game! Some snow showers would be nice.

MAG5035 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Snowing pretty decently currently, although with surface temps above freezing it isn’t doing much on the ground at this elevation attm . Radar showing a heavy burst incoming so I’m sure something will stick. Had 0.2” overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 That heavy band of WAA snow is definitely a crush job albeit a brief one. A bit over a half inch of large aggregates and some caved roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Very wet tiny snowflakes in Harrisburg proper but it’s of course melting on contact with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 WAA band ended up being a 1.0" fluff bomb this morning. That band must have had good lift in the zone snow growth wise, as snow itself appeared to be aggregated dendrites. Already starting to melt as the marginal surface temps are making this look like something you'd see on April 2 vs Feb 2. 1.2" total on the day, which finally gets me over the 10" mark on the season. 40" to go to get to average lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 9 minutes ago, canderson said: This is incredibly depressing. Yea, the only teleconnection going for us right now in the longer range is EPO being progged to flip negative to some degree. That would generally be a good development for the eastern US in terms of winter as the negative phase (ridging into AK) typically will shut off zonal flow directly from the Pac and allow cold air to intrude into the US from western Canada. With a continued -PNA and a hyper positive NAO/AO progged, that would definitely suggest that we're going to continue to deal with limited press south of cold air and issues with storm track being too far north or northwest. The EPO is a significant driver, but I dunno if it's going to overcome such a strong state of the NAO/AO if that came to fruition. The Euro and it's ensembles was the guidance with off the charts + but all other models and ensembles still had a significant positive state progged. Some stuff is starting to take MJO back out into phase 4-5 too as well. We're going to need to see some improvement in these indexes going forward for sure. With that said, one has to realize looking at those teleconnection forecasts that the dominant +NAO/AO sets in mainly AFTER this coming week, where it is looking like we're going to be dealing with P-type issues at various times in some or all of C-PA as well the potential for a lot of precip between these different waves set to run along the boundary.

Blizzard of 93 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 @MAG5035 I think that the EPO diving toward negative around the 7th and then staying negative through at least mid month if not beyond will drive the pattern. The MJO is staying week near the COD with the latest forecasts. If it stays muted & does not take a big loop way out in the warm phases, then I think the -EPO can drive the pattern. The EPS, GEFS & Canadian ensembles all agree in the -EPO heading toward neutral & then stay negative starting later this week. I think that the Operational models will respond more to this now that we are inside of 1 week for the EPO flip to negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Happy hour 18z GFS changes that last wave on Friday to snow for all of CTP! Maybe it will be right or even half right for once ? At least it’s only 5 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 A birthday snowstorm (Feb 8) for me. Not sure to be happy or sad. The plan was to go out to dinner with wife, not shovel and/or dig out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 50 degrees at my house this Am....36 in Central Florida. That is one the of the larger odd disparities I have run into in this topsy turvey good for nothing winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 There is still a lot to resolve with the boundary storms this week with regard to precip types, timing & final tracks. The models are getting interested in another winter storm chance this weekend that could be our best chance this week of getting a possible all snow event.

anotherman Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 The problem at this point is we are at a "I've seen this movie before" portion of the winter. It always shows chances for snow in the long range and then pulls the rug out as we get closer. I'll believe it when I see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
