kerplunk Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Put down a quick .25 here and looks like another decent band moving in. Currently at 33º. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Transition finally underway here, but not before recording 0.25" of pure rain. It's now sleeting with a coating on the ground and snowflakes are beginning to mix in and increase. Nearly every model has me receiving 2" with outside chance of 3" on a few of them. Should be a fun afternoon of observing. Good luck to all. Oh, forgot to mention it's 32.9 degrees here now. Edit--flakes are quickly increasing in quantity and size. Wet snow bombs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a decent shot at Fri/Sat system as most guidance has it below us, honestly 500 panels at 12z look much cleaner on grampy GFS where Para is 2 pieces that don't really phase. I still think we have a shot at something measurable, and as we all know mid month seems to be shaping up for more chances...we should have more in the pipeline. Only concern is that we still seem to have LR guidance on ops showing the cutter risk, and I'm not really sure why as ens guidance has a rather decent look for systems to continue come at/under us. Just an observation and trying to wrap my head around why. In summary yeah we should have some stuff to chat about and that's loads better than most thought only a few weeks back. I think this upcoming period of fun is brought to you by the all to elusive acronyms SSW and -NAO. Enjoy your snow today. Just rain here, but we might get a little if rates help the column like some are seeing. Not expecting it, but we are close enough here in the LSV to hope for a bit of fun. Ground was white this am and hope it will be later today. Thats my win bar. Chat more this week as I've enjoyed my christmas break "away from the world". Happy New Year to all.

MAG5035 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Slotted out here at 1.1", def a really wet snowfall. I'll bet some of that 3-5" the models were cranking out ends up coming to fruition somewhere in between UNV and IPT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 We had about an inch of snow this morning, but mostly rain and some sleet in Tamaqua proper this afternoon/evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 18z GFS illustrates my fear from this morning perfectly. Northern stream energy pushes our system out to sea way south of us.

CarlislePaWx Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Well, so much for the 2 to 3 inches of snow. Those wet snow bombs (which did look amazing) only lasted for maybe 15 minutes tops. It was enough to accumulate about 0.1" with a tiny white coating. Then, it stopped. Then, the rain came back and deposited about another 0.07" of pure liquid. On to the next one.

A couple of days ago I woke up to about 0.2" of snow that unexpectedly fell over night. Funny thing is I don't remember which day that was precisely. It was close to the end of the year, but before the 31st. Any idea what day that might have been? Adding in that 0.2" plus the 0.1" from today, that brings my seasonal total to 11.0". (You can see it down at the bottom of my signature.) I was intending to update that prior tiny coating but forgot to, and now I don't remember the day.

If the storm on Friday or Saturday doesn’t work out for CTP, then the next chance should not be too far away. The 12z Euro & 18z GFS both have a another Winter storm chance for us early next week.

Pattern is just getting established, and I cant envision how we go from cutters, straight to suppression. That would be more of a concern in the following waves as the NAO starts to show its teeth. Just my hunch. fixed. I can't envision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is currently over 5 inches above average for the season through today’s date. It is great to be well above normal snow with a pattern loaded with potential about to begin.

Just my hunch. Very true, it wouldn’t take much to get southern PA in the game for this Friday. Some model runs as recent as yesterday had us getting decent snow. The good blocking is just getting established and sometimes that gives the models fits to figure out how to handle events. I am looking forward to soon watching it snow while tracking the next threat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001kx Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Got around 1-2" today and it looked nice out there for a bit...

Blizzard of 93 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The 0z Euro still kept the Friday storm well off to our southeast, but it still likes the chance of a Coastal storm early Next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
