RedSky Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 After the second rain storm next week the pattern SHOULD shift into something more normal and less cloudy as the Pacific firehose pineapple express finally stops injecting copious amounts of moisture into the atmosphere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 This winter is just absolutely brutal so far. It’s gotten to the point where all I want is a 2-3” event that stays all snow. Is that really too much to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Made a trip to the gas station this evening. There was a guy there filling up a 2-gallon can. I was tempted to ask if it was for the snowblower or lawn mower. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those dam leaves have not been pushed down on the surface by the the lack of a snow pack and are still blowing everywhere. They using the blower for cleaning up mulch after spreading too. This is the first time that I have ever seen mulch being spread in January in the LV These landscapers are really hurting as their off season plowing is shot to hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Reilly Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Media Delaware County 36 dewpoint 26 Cloudy with sprinkles and light drizzle. I got giddy and saw the radar had a little stripe of white on it over my area. I go outside and it's just sprinkles and drizzle we can't even do this right!!

Birds~69 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Cloudy/35F More clouds/rain tomorrow into Mon and Wed? Sorting through my clogged up picture folder the other day. Approx 2 years ago here, looks like a "snow on snow" event. Such a pipe dream these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Today should be chillier but still above normal with temps in the upper 30's to near 40 today. Our next rain event starts later tomorrow PM. If the precipitation arrives early enough in the PM we could see some wet snow mixed in and of course a couple models still show a small measurable amount of snow before the change to rain. Of note the GFS model has the rain changing back to snow with a small accumulation across much of Chester County on Monday morning. The next rainstorm looks more likely to start as snow on Wednesday with some minor accumulations possible (but it would still be our "largest" snow event of the season if it comes to pass) Turning colder by the end of the work week with temps closer to normal. Our record high for today is 67 degrees way back in 1906. The record low is 11 below zero from 1987. Daily precipitation record is 1.88" from 1902 and the record daily snow is the 10.0" that fell today back in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penndotguy Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 37f and Cloudy shocker I know, anyway it seems forever since we've had a WSW that actually verified 6+ in a single storm. Pinning our hopes for a snowy February might be the last gasp however it seems to always snow to some extent on or around my Birthday the12th so we shall see, until then enjoy the cold rain Maybe next winter will be our turn.

Cancel all of that. Guidance since yesterday indicating the Pacific atmospheric river of death will continue unabated. GFS/ECM now continue the wave train without end. 12z ECM has the worst look crashing massive troughing into California day 10. Euro is Stephen King nightmare run.
