Doesn't look like the heaviest bands will pivot in time for the big totals. NAM showing up to about 40" of snow now in Geauga County, Ohio. Forget heavy bands, I would take just some snow showers at this point. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strong 850 push cut totals for the central PA crew and benefited us for the 12/17/20 storm. This time we were the nail. The central PA crew also has multiple 15+ storms the last 10 years as well though, at least more than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storm isn’t over yet and may or may not pan out. Falling short of warning criteria would absolutely be a major, indisputable bust, but not exactly suicide material.

This isn't a true miller a apps runner though, the double barrell low look is why we've got the dryslot vs a more developed storm tracking up inland from the South. It is what it is, nothing wrong with pointing out things are going the wrong way. No doubt if at the end of this we are at like 5in it's a pretty big bust. We've been on the Eastern edge of the bigger totals and it looks like things might break the wrong way. Our loss is someone else's (Cleveland) gain, that's the name of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The initial part of the dry slot filled in some, but the rest is massive. We need a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know, but it seems like it is a recurring theme that 50-100 miles away from us gets crushed while we barely get warning level snows. Is what it is. Our climo here for whatever reason is really awful for big snows. We used to kind of make up for it as we would get a ton of 3-5 inch clipper events and some nice LES events as well, but those have dried up. When the hell was the last time we had a clipper that overperformed and gave us 5 inches even? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

December last year was worthwhile, and the March storm where we got a foot over a longtime was nice, and would have been much better if it was in January. But in general we've been snake bitten here.

Climo does suck for big storms, to far away from the lakes outside of rare squall lines or persistent bands, to far from the ocean where storms want to develop due to natural baraclonic zone with cold land / warm ocean, on the wrong side of the apps so we don't benefit from CAD, I could probably go on lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm talking about Harrisburg, and I mean you could also look at NYC, philly, and DC as well. Like I said our saving grace used to be clippers we would get a few times a year, get us 2-4 and sometimes overperform and get us 6 inches. Those no longer happen for whatever reason.

Columbus is horrific lol. Their biggest snows the last few years are all like 3 inches. Again I think that goes back to the lack of clippers as they would usually do pretty well on those also. The only people I actively root against are the MA crew. They've had so many huge storms the last 10-15 years it is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with LES which while we never got huge hits from it I still remember plenty of days where we'd get 2-3 inches from bands and squalls, and have some really good bands set up over us.

You mean the plains after a mountain range get a lot of snow? Seems pretty obvious for Denver. Harrisburg, Philly are in the same situation.
