I think I finally bottomed out at 23 (am currently 24 with dp 16), so that heat is needed to at least keep the pipes from freezing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 my god the LR globals suck this morning and the GEM continues to donut hole us and give us the finger. I am ready for good time spring thunderstorms. This winter will go in the record books for sure as the year with no winter storm model consensus too. we could not even get pity flakes or just a few marbles of sleet last night in Macungie. The only things that happened from this storm event was heavier rainfall, the snow was gone in less than three hours, the temp gradient was remarkable from 39 to 60 degrees in four hours and during the night , the flash freeze did occur at sunset yesterday and finally the ski resorts will be in the red for sure.

I'd image not good...life support or decreased? 21F It's smaller but still decent. Reinforcements would be nice. Maybe something will materialize Monday night, otherwise the next week looks a bit desert-dry for snow right now. Kind of warmish even, after today.

Sometimes you can get a good dusting (or even coating if it goes long enough) out of one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 RGEM and others really close to making Mon-Tue an 'event' for parts of the region. Temps are marginal but with proper timing, track, and intensification it could actually creep up on us and work. Been trending better last 24 hrs. Miller B-ish where it develops off the Carolinas but probably a hair too late for us but we'll see what happens.

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Global ops all have a signal for right around Valentine's Day. GFS is all N stream and a sloppy late phase at best...keeps the southern sw separate: Euro is a phased bomb but has that classic look going into the event: The CMC is probably our best case look with a phased system that remains progressive and doesn't amp up quite like the Euro: With this said the ens aren't exactly honking, so it's even more intriguing to me that all 3 global ops have a trackable event during this period while the ens means are just meh.

Hurricane Agnes Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 6z GFS and NAM for tomorrow's storm continue to slide it south although the NAM seems to throw some frozen back N/W of I-95 corridor. As an obs - currently at my low at the moment - 16 with dp 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 18z NAMs both have coating to an inch tomorrow morning for rush hour with some sleet mixing as well. Doubt we see much accumulation but might make the AM rush slick with temps in the upper 20s and low 30s north and west. Hints at a second burst of snow right along the river overnight Monday.

Hurricane Agnes Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Missed this from Mt. Holly yesterday - I think that speaks for itself! I did end up with a low of 15 this morning and struggled to get to a high of 34 around 3:30 pm today. It's currently 33 with dp 17 and a deck of cirrus overhead.
