We are not done with snow this season....keep the faith! This winter sucks. It's not all about snowfall. Using your logic we could have above temps and no snow (Dec/Jan/Feb) through mid March then a 30" storm so we're above avg snowfall and had a great winter? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I know I’m getting older and maybe my memory is starting to slip, but as I recall 1996 was a very different winter. I think PENNDOT is going to have a lot of leftover salt and Greenskeeper is going to have a lot of leftover weenies. 37F, cloudy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Just had a quick hit of graupel, maybe 2-3 minute's worth. That was totally unexpected today, but I'll take it! Any winter weather is better than none. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Pummeled, crushed and obliterated on the EPS ensembles. Go time, this was worth the wait, and saves winter all rolled into one. What could possibly go wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Next week into late month beginning to light up on the ensembles with a few chances for winter weather...probably the most legit ens means storm clustering and snowfall means I've seen at this range since the mid Dec storm. First threat is Tuesday. Blocking migrates into the Baffin Bay region with a west-based -NAO. Trof centered along the west coast with a flat broad trof extending SW->NE across the country. This is the look of a gradient pattern or overunning SWFE with waves coming out of the Southwest and riding the gradient to the Midwest then being forced under the blocking and following the gradient W->E from there. It actually looks to be the catalyst for several systems/waves moving out of the Southwest before a transient PNA pops later on providing an even greater potential for a winter storm. But first things first. You can see on the GEFS H5 map clearly the first s/w ejecting out of the Southwest on Sunday. The block is in a good position and still rather strong. Meanwhile a potential 50/50 low is in ideal position. At the surface on the GEFS means, the primary gets to the Ohio Valley when it feels the block to the North and is forced to continue East (even ESE on some op runs) and off the coast. This sets up a fairly decent CAD signature and will spell messy frozen precip for whoever is on the N side of the gradient. Exact track and precip types should become more clear 2nd half of the week. For now, just know the GEFS have a pretty good look and several op runs have also shown good potential with this first wave ejecting out of the Southwest. The EPS are generally in-line with the GEFS. Sysyem moves out of the Southwest and follows the trof SW->NE before feeling the block and being forced under the region. It is usually a good sign when both major ens means are signaling a winter weather event for the region, even if varying slightly on strength, track, and precip amts. The important thing for now is that the pattern is changing and we are likely to get some positive effects from the block over Baffin Bay finally. Patience paying off? Also on both ens means are signs of a followup wave emerging out of the Southern Rockies on the heels of the Tuesday system. Too far out but there have been signs for a while that I noted last week where the PNA attempts to briefly go positive enough to *maybe* allow one of these screaming NS waves to amplify just enough for another storm. Again, ens are varying on how that would play out, but the signals are positive that as we head into late month and early Feb we will continue to have legit tracking chances, at the very least. I still believe this period holds some of the better potential of the season thus far. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
