I figured! We're mostly level C but occasionally spend time in B. Not fun, but supplied air has it's benefits on super hot days at least.

Same here.  I worked mainly remedial investigations in PA and NJ.  Now I do renewable energy permitting

Have had on and off ZL but it also looks like there may have been some IP at some point earlier (hard to tell on my car since it's white but other cars that are dark-colored appear to almost have a light coating of snow or IP on the roof and hood).

Temp is currently 31 with dp 27 so it will be close to melt point soon.

well, I will succumb as it looks like we will get a very measly measurable snowfall of nearly one inch of snow on Friday morning ending my hopes for a new snowfall record. However  the latest full one inch record snowfall is still in jeopardy.   Wow, no snow thrower for me this time too,  Hell not even a shovel . Just need my leaf blower or broom and barely a grass covering. The birds should be able to still find the bird seed on the ground too. Congrats SNJ shore. You are finally scoring on every winter event thus far this year.

The municipalities salt budgets will be used up pretty quick at this rate however as they will not be able to easily remove the salt by natural means.

plow the snow off the road in the LV while the frozen tundra conditions really set in now.  No more groundwater recharge too for awhile as any precip that does fall will not penetrate the soil as the frozen conditions of the soils/closed depressions really lock up too.  It will be one big salt dust bowl up here for awhile as the vehicles turn grey. Car washes are loving this set up for sure. Snow plow contractors, sorry, it may be awhile before for  really you cash in.

Mt. Holly's call from earlier this morning -

FIVNzAGVcAISBYn.jpg

Am currently overcast and 34, with dp 32, so whatever was frozen is slowly melting (although those coldest surfaces were pretty cold, but the precip was light).  People were scraping the car windows this morning.  I saw the alert that the Passyunk Ave. bridge was closed due to icy conditions/accidents.

That's not bad at all...better than Mon.

Winter such a tough time. Between today, the mess on 95, the dangerous cold at night, winter sure did hit hard. Hopefully get out of this pattern soon

what winter wonderland are you dreaming of right now?  Winter has not even started yet in the LV?  I have bird seed sprouting under my feeders right now with bulbs pushing up and my pussy willow has white blooms on it.

 

I have a book to read right now in this pattern. Would you like to join me in reading this particular book?  LMAO

Looking more and more  like one of those disaster winters where every storm breaks the opposite of where we want it.

I'm hugging the long range HRRR lol.  Hope we can get on the board with a few inches...had to drive to Hammonton on Monday to see snow.

The Jan 15-25 period is going to be where we get our big dog (if we do) this winter. PNA spike and east based blocking around the 16th sets up a chance for a storm

After this time period though, I think if we can get another brief PNA spike around the 18th-20th... you can see a pattern mature into a blockbuster one. Blocking to slow down the flow and lots of northern stream energy to dive into the central part of the country and cut off (if a +PNA forms). The vortex that comes down around the 15th-17th will likely shift east into the 50/50 region and clear out the east coast for a clean setup. Very dependent on the west coast though. Verbatim, the 12z GFS does have a storm around the 21st. But it can be much much bigger.

Good post Newman. Verbatim that’s a really solid look and should provide multiple chances at SECS events but we’ve seen a few times this winter that ridge in the west gets kicked down the lane or gets stuck in the d10-15 range. Would like to see it get into the day 7-9 range before getting hyped. We’ve seen a few head fakes so far on the pattern improving and it keeps getting pushed back. The MJO forecasts have been brutal so far this winter but if we can actually push into phase 8, that will increase the chances this comes to fruition. Right now though you really have to watch it day by day since it changes so frequently. Anyway I’m cautiously optimistic as well for mid month but definitely would like to see it keep progressing forward as we hit the day 7-10 range these next few days. Hopefully most of us at least get on the board tomorrow to kick things off.

There are already some signals that the good pattern on the 16th rolls over on itself by the 20th and things deteriorate. Hopefully just a hiccup on the weeklies. Im in for the 17th give or take a day for the PNA spike and possible system. Pattern either holds on or flips after this. Fingers are crossed.

Any time is tough to forecast LR....but Nina it is damn near impossible to be confident past 7 days wrt overall hemispheric longwave patterns let alone synoptics.
