Itstrainingtime Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I've gone on record here previously stating that I enjoy a nice dark, dreary day - but at some point can we at least have SOME sunshine? We're on a roll lately with cloudy days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to bed that night with a call for 12"+. Woke up Sunday morning and it was 20-30". By afternoon, it was up to 24-36". Final total = 30.5". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherman Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I think the snow will come. So many years where it looked cold and dry and everyone complained but eventually the snow came. Let’s get the cold air first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, we don't really need "cold" right now - we can swing this with average temps for the next several weeks. In January and the first half of February, I want moisture first and cold second. As long as we don't see cutters the next month or so, I like our chances. Get something under us and we'll likely be happy. If it's too cold, it's likely going to be too dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 It stopped snowing around this time in the afternoon Sunday. It has remained cloudy and literally within a degree or two of 35ºF in the 72 hours since then. I dunno about any of you guys, but I'd actually like to see some sun and clear weather for a couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDreamTraveler Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The warning at the top of the site is pretty cute But yeah this winter is looking pretty exciting snow wise. Especially after that record setting low snow year beforehand. Being above average this early on is looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 The overnight 0z guidance looks to be showing that this Tuesday system now in the D5 range for us might have some legs...with Euro and Canadian presenting a snow event over a good portion of PA and 0z/6z GFS not too far off for PA but still showing a fairly competent low trying to lift out of the Gulf states after developing in Texas. Difference with the GFS vs Euro/Canadian is GFS keeps streams separate and the Gulf system as a single southern stream shortwave. Euro/Canadian drop in and interact a northern stream shortwave just enough to make this more of an event. Ensembles showing the system but not very strongly yet when it comes to maybe running the low up the coast to impact our region. Euro EPS was probably best look, but we'll see how things evolve as we're still D5-ish. I do like the look and the fact models are latching onto having something of substance. These Gulf lows can be more moisture laden than advertised, so if we can work it up to our latitude I think we could see a decent snow event. It's definitely starting to look like it could be one at the early stages all the way in the heart of Texas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in most of Lanco, 1996 dropped more snow here than 2016 did. The 1983 storm dropped remarkably similar amounts in both locals - I measured 24.8" in the '83 storm. I don't remember 1945.
