RedSky Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 ICON/NAM/GFS hint at some errant flakes in the air at dawn Christmas Eve morning say 20% chance increasing to 30% in the hills and northern reaches of the region. The chance to say it snowed on Christmas Eve day might be among the winters biggest moments might want to be up for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the 70's and 80's, the 3-5, 4-6 inchers were our bread & butter. Other than '78 and '83, HECS were non-existent. Now it seems we get advisory-level events or big dogs.

There are few 1-4" fast moving clippers or fronts dropping 1.5" the last decade. When there are clippers they slow down and redevelop into Miller B's. * Likely climate change with the more active southern jet injecting into the clippers creating the bigger Miller B's I would guess is the reason because I slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I'm a big fan of squalls when it's very cold. Partly cloudy turns to low clouds then all hell breaks loose. Wind/heavy snow blowing on streets and within 15-20 minutes 1-2" which wreaks havoc. Probably why NWS started the squall warning alert in 2019 which makes your phone make that disturbing sound when a squall is approaching.... 35F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 For those playing along at home, the new MJO plots (which I dont particularly care for as a forecasting tool) stall in 7 and some members even retrograde back into 6. Only thing I can say based on this is that we are in for the same status quo ho-hum pattern for the next several weeks, likely taking us into the 2nd week of January before we see any meaningful changes. Where we go from there, positive or negative, who knows? But base state out in the PAC specifically is locked in and the MJO is also stalled (or locked in) with no catalyst on the horizon to shuffle the deck. Probably going to take something on a hemispheric scale to change things around. There are possibilities of a SPV split in the next 10 days as a warming event intensifies, so with lag factored in, maybe we can see some changes at higher lat in the PAC as a starting ground after Jan 3ish. Not sure what this will do for the -PNA however or if it will do anything favorable at higher lat in the PAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Barring a Christmas miracle it appears with this years "green" Christmas we will now have experienced the 2nd longest stretch (9 years) without a White Christmas in Chester County. Our last White Christmas occurred back in 2012. The longest stretch in Chester County history without a White Christmas was the 16 years between 1931 and 1946...so we still have a ways to go to break that record!!
