I think we should not take every model run to heart as well this year. I know its hard not to get sucked into evey model run good or bad, but not doing that is a lot easier on the mind and soul. My thinking is we will have more opportunities this year. Will it be a blockbuster winter? I don't think so, but there is always the possibility. It only takes one big event to change everything. I'm going with 22-32 for MDT. I hope everyone is doing well. Welcome back! I like your Winter thoughts as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 7 hours ago, MAG5035 said: I think we should keep some perspective on the fact that Harrisburg has had 5 above average winters just in the last decade (5 of the last 7 winters to be more specific). I mean you can put the asterisk on 2015-16 that like 30 of the 39 inches came from Jonas but then you'd have to do the same thing for 82-83 that featured the 83 blizzard in that super Nino winter as well (25 of the 36"). So yea last year sucked, I think we're all aware of that. But I can pick out collective bad periods (88-92, 96-02, 05-09, 11-13, etc), or overall just point out that in this 40 year chart that 23/40 were below the mean and close to half (17 winters) were 75% or less of the mean. If we end up stringing together a few lackluster winters in a row the next couple years, it's definitely not something that hasn't happened before. Obviously it's a different story if we stack up several winters in close proximity as historically bad as last winter, but until such a point I look at last winter as an anomaly where an even more anomalous weather pattern (unprecedented +AO regime) had a big part in it. This is the best post of the year! We have been on a great snow run this decade. We were due for a clunker last year and delivered in historic fashion. This season can only get better! I am getting fired up for the potential that next week could bring in the winter weather department around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After suffering from the '83 blizzard pretty much up until the '93 winter, the past year or two while frustrating, does not compare to that stretch. Patience... Well said good sir. We have been spoiled, but I wouldn’t mind getting spoiled some more this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 5 hours ago, pasnownut said: another positive takeaway is that we are seeing subtle shifts in a favorable direction for next week. Thats something we'll all agree on.....cept Tamaqua boy :). Yes! There were good trends on the models today for next week. We might have a couple of chances to get on the snow board next week. The AO and NAO look to stay negative over the next 2 weeks. The pattern looks active. I’m looking forward to the 0z runs tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I the short term, the 18z Euro & GFS both still like the chance of some light snow tomorrow over most of CTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The 0z Euro has a winter storm chance for us Monday night into Tuesday. If that low track and position were to occur, I think more of CTP would be involved. This time period is certainly something to watch over the next few days.

Blizzard of 93 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The CTP radar looks to be showing some snow showers developing. Hopefully some of us see a little light snow today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go buy wood now, because much will be used to board up businesses that are hanging on by a thread. Hell, California is now starting to wake up and see how bad restrictions are affecting their own economy. We can do this w/o draconian measures. I now own 5 masks....and hate every one of em but by and large were all good soldiers and doing our part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greensnow Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Light snow and roads quickly covered up here. Now calling for 1-2" with snow showers through the day. Looking forward to upper 40s this weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we all got to do our part but just how is it spreading so much about 98% of the people I see are wearing masks when i go to wally world. I think it spreading a lot of other ways too.

pasnownut Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 In weather related news, the para holds out hope for next weeks chance for the I80 north crew. Ens guidance still shows broad trough in conus kinda look and no WAR. Not a stellar look, but not a toaster bath kinda deal either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have opinions and my own answers to things, but wont get into that. Just sucks in many different ways for so many. All the best to my weather weenie crew in the next bump in the road.

I think they've all been replaced by Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants. We have been without doctor coverage since 2010. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greensnow Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Susquehanna-Northern Wayne-Wyoming-Lackawanna-Luzerne-Pike- Southern Wayne- 1013 AM EST Wed Dec 9 2020 ...Moderate snow is across the area causing slippery roads... Moderate snow is across much of central New York and northeast Pennsylvania. Snowfall rates are up to 1 inch an hour. Visibilities at times have been reduced to below half a mile. Light to moderate snow will slowly taper off through 1 PM from west to east. Total snowfall amounts could be up to 2 or 3 inches. Roads have become snow covered and slippery even on some highways. Slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Talk about a positive mood change - ground and roads are covered here.

Greensnow Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 First "nice" surprise of 2020! Over performing- likely will get 3" out of this which will at least add to the holiday mood. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 It figures right when I get doctors permission to start working again we close down. Granted, we are mask Nazis at my restaurant, but not a single employee has tested positive the past 9 months despite a lot of testing.
