Here is the GFS from 48 hours ago. actually its par for the course. if you ever go past day 5 on local or even nws casts vs models. they are very hesitant to put any storms past those days most times. unlike summer where they normally do. Ive seen times where I look 7 plus days out the temp will swing 20-30 sometimes and it will go from sunny to heavy precip 5 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 From CTPs discussion for tomorrow night Latest model guidance shows 850mb wind speeds over 60kts across the southern part of the state early Friday morning. Bufkit soundings indicate surface gusts of 40-50kts are possible and have continued mention of potential wind hazard in HWO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 36 this Am. Going to be quite the ride per the HRRR climbing 30 degrees by late afternoon, a Midnight high in the upper 50's and right back down to 36 again tomorrow AM. The GFS is a cornucopia of winter storms affecting different parts of PA through the whole run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 6z progression of the early morch mauler is about as good as it could get for us LSV'rs. Clean snow event. Hell I'm down for a dirty snow event. CMC has the storm, but while its quite a long duration event, its not as favorable for us south of the turnpike. Long ways to go but for now lets just hope the wintery signal holds and see where we go from there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greensnow Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Driving back last night from DC was tough. Extremely dense fog and 32 degrees on 81 between 105 and 135. Ton of people pulled over to the side due to visibility. Crazy. Came home to a slushy inch of WTF on the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Fog has burned off and the sun is shining brightly. Currently 49 degrees. Only received .03" of total QPF yesterday. Very disappointing. We had an hour or so of light snow/sleet/rain and that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Another reason why I don't like snow maps - there are many types of maps available, and it's easy to cherry pick (unknowingly I'm sure at times) a map that either shows a lot of snow or very little. I think all of it creates both confusion and hard feelings. Some maps include sleet, some do not. I think some are based on different ratios than others. And then, there's the positive snow depth maps, which to me at least would seem to be what matters most...when the storm ends, just how much snow is going to be on the ground... Here is the 6z GFS positive snow depth map - copy paste from our neighbors to our south so it only includes the southern tier (sorry folks north of the turnpike) but for a model run that "looked" like a pure or mostly pure snow event...this looks very underwhelming: (it's a 1-4" event for us. and the storm has moved out at this point) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you stated, normal caveats apply wrt what frozen variety one receives. I typically use them primarily for frozen vs non frozen and roll the dice from their....lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL GFS delivers wintry weather later next week via a well-timed trailing wave after an initial low cuts well west on Thursday. This would be a scenario that would probably be our best shot during this time frame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streak Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Gorgeous, sunny, 63 right now with a light breeze. Was 56 and quite a bit more windy when we first went outside around 12:25, so it feels like a massive increase in temperature over the past 35 minutes or so.
