dj3 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Got to -7 this morning. This has been a really good 2 week stretch for cold, snow pack, and we got several snow events. Early February not looking like a torch thus far despite a brief warm up middle of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Nearest PWS to me got to -8, so we’ll go with that imby. I concur that this has been not just a good winter period, but a great winter period that has made it easy to forget December. By the time the snowpack goes away, we should be on the plus side of two weeks with continuous snow cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Way, way too early, but the last 2 GFS runs are showing something big next weekend. It’s almost like the pattern wants to reload after the warm-up next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Last night was also officially -1. So, three days with sub-0 readings, and a chance over the weekend again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the night before. I know if you get a puff of wind or a few passing clouds on these deep radiational cooling nights it can really have an effect, but it doesn’t look like there was much of that in the obs last night as compared to the night before.

TheClimateChanger Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Temperatures were all over the place. My car thermometer was registering changes of 20+ degrees in just a few miles. From double digit readings below zero to near 10F above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car thermometer was registering changes of 20+ degrees in just a few miles. From double digit readings below zero to near 10F above. I noticed some big swings too, it was -8 at my house, dropped to -12 at a local spot that radiates well, then saw +7 in and around the city. I crossed the Rankin bridge going towards west mifflin around 6am and it was 0 but also had some "pollution effect" pixie dust falling out of the plumes of smoke from nearby industry. So much so the bridge had a coating on it. Really interesting. I know 7 or 8 years ago NWS posted radar of a snow band that developed off the steam towers from one of the nuclear power plants, I don't think I saved it though.

RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Did anyone notice Tropical Tidbits now has Euro precip maps / 500 maps (including 6z / 18z runs)? I prefer TT interface to Pivotal, maybe I've just been using it longer and I'm old lol but I was happy to see that addition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Would trade every flake of snow this past two weeks, to cash in on the big New England blizzard tomorrow night. SMH. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd9108 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Honestly if I knew somebody who lived in Boston I'd be very tempted to go visit them this weekend. Only problem is how long would it take to get back home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's delayed by an hour per Levi the site owner, so if you are on the edge of your seat for that data pay site or pivotal still your best bet. I rarely stay up for the Euro anyways and if a storm is imminent always have other sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess that besides the white out arctic fronts that come through I'd say that's the last time we had blizzard warning/conditions. I bet within the next 5 years we get our 12+ storm. I feel like we are due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 my God I can't help but track the next storm and the NAM just absolutely NAMd NYC and NE. 20+ inches of snow with 60 mph gusts. That's a KU NESIS 5 if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s crazy how the GFS had this 10+ days out to the day, and with intensity not far off. It was never our storm as it got in a more realistic range, but it was always on the map. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think NESIS includes population impacted in its scale, so missing Philly and DC will really pull back that number. There is also a small Pittsburgh connection...Pitt bball is supposed to play Boston College tomorrow. My guess is that ain't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Yes, nice to see another pack refresher. We need 1.9” today at PIT to get to 20 for the month, so that may be a tough ask but not impossible. On another note, we’re now at the halfway point of snow climo. Normal through yesterday is 22.0”, normal for the season is 44.1”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
