Itstrainingtime Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 It would be the most ironic thing in recorded weather history if the GFS 12z happened verbatim as depicted... On the above scenario, BOS, NYC and PHL all receive > 20" of snow. That has NEVER happened in recorded history from the same storm. Ever. For it to happen on this, of all years, in this, of all patterns... There's a first time for everything, right? Edit: Meant to say that it's never happened in MARCH. Sorry!

I agree, Why not get a fluke this year? In 2017, we had only around 6 inches of snow in the LSV for the season through early March. Then, we got hit with the 17 inch historic winter storm in Harrisburg that took place in the middle of March. If it happened 3 years ago, why not now? There is plenty of time to give up in April.

Blizzard of 93 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The EPS still has the EPO going negative around March 13th & stays there through the end of the run. Also, in a new development for this year, the EPS has the NAO heading to neutral later next week & then stays there through the end of the run. These 2 factors could help us with our late snow chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I agree, Why not get a fluke this year? In 2017, we had only around 6 inches of snow in the LSV for the season through early March.

There is plenty of time to give up in April.I always remember that storm because they cancelled flights out of BWI and I was heading to Florida the day of storm. BWI had little to no snow accumulation. Ended up taking flight from Harrisburg despite the nearly 20” of snow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The overnight GFS (and the 6z coming in) is still persistent on a snow event in our area near the 12th. A look at the GFS ensembles didn't show much support for that op position and reviewing yesterday's 12z insanity on the op, ensembles weren't reflecting a strong coastal snow storm in that cycle either. Other ops don't have C-PA snow (Canadian tries a rain to snow) but they do all show a potential system in the timeframe. In fact, the 0z Euro shows pretty much the kind of wave the GFS had, but running surface low further north through PA with the snow swath through NY State. GFS C-PA snowstorms have been a thing in this range this winter, and not a thing that has translated to much actual white on the ground. So given the general storm pattern all winter, I have to lean towards something like the Euro right now. Especially since the AO is forecast to be the most positive in this time frame on all the models (around +4). Again, the regime in this realm has to neutralize significantly or reverse eventually to maybe have a late chance. I just don't see a -EPO overcoming this unless it's super negative. And an especially -EPO in the progs would signify something's wrong in the guidance since the AO stays very positive. It would either mean the EPO corrects more toward neutral or positive as the forecast range gets closer (has already happened this winter) or the AO corrects toward neutral signifying some higher heights near the pole and possibly a disturbance in the strong PV. A major EPO ridge poking into the polar regions would suggest finally perturbing the PV and weakening the AO regime. But, I'm not seeing any signs of that in the ensemble guidance at the moment. I don't think we're there yet. Ironically, the GFS ensembles actually keep the EPO positive. Also, the persistently -PNA we look to remain in enforces IMO the continued issues I see in terms of storm track issues and a base warm pattern here in the east with only brief attempts at chilly. This pattern over the pole will break down, it has to... but the remarkable stability of it and continued forecast stability up through the next 10-15 currently in the models suggest that it will take time. 16 hours ago, Itstrainingtime said: It would be the most ironic thing in recorded weather history if the GFS 12z happened verbatim as depicted...

I know your talking about March, but we might've been talking a worse winter snow wise in MDT around this time in 2016 if not for the one hit wonder of a lifetime in January. The weather can do some crazy stuff. Only needs a window of opportunity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paweather Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Just like that GFS takes our snowstorm into a rainstorm for the end of next week. LOL. Well it goes with the common theme of this so called winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Horst on tomorrow/tomorrow night: "Wet snow will fall in some PA mountain locations while intermittent rain & drizzle falls in the valleys (though it can mix with snow during higher intensity spells). Friday night brings an outside chance of some wrap-around precip in the form of snow or snow showers." I think this situation screams that a few (probably very few) people get a nice surprise in the next 36 hours but it's going to be nowcasting event and if and when it does materialize, most will be on the outside looking in. I also believe that this is quite likely the last chance for most of us in the LSV barring a later March/early April hail mary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if this is possibly one of our last chances, then I had better post the good old reliable NAM for tomorrow ! Hopefully a few of us cash in with a “solid coating” of snow by tomorrow night.

Blizzard of 93 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The 0z GFS agreed with the 0z NAM ! For the love of God, for once can these models get a forecast right in less than 24 hours ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The 6z NAM & 6z GFS still have a decent amount of snow for much of the Susquehanna Valley today. I’ll just be happy if I get to see snow in the air for a few hours, A heavy coating on the grass would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 Really cool radar presentation now: scattered showers in the western half of PA moving SE while a more solid shield of rain in the Delmarva and up into eastern PA is moving almost due north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxx Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Some flakes mixing in with the rain here. A couple degrees cooler and we could have had a nice coating here. Still hoping for a burst of snow sometime tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
