NorthArlington101 Posted January 1, 2024 Share Posted January 1, 2024 Anyone have the 00z ICON snow map? I'm guessing it's like 2-4 inches lol 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherman Posted January 1, 2024 Share Posted January 1, 2024 In ‘94 I was at Penn State Altoona and all those ice storms were snowstorms for us. Also, they closed Penn State (unprecedented) after we were below zero for days. What a winter that was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winter_warlock Posted January 1, 2024 Share Posted January 1, 2024 Latest disco from sterling!!!! Good read.... As we move into the weekend, attention will turn to a storm system approaching from the south and west. By Friday night, this system will be located over the southern Plains. The initially closed upper low is modeled to transition into more of an open wave and potentially take on a negative tilt as it tracks east-northeastward toward our area. With the system taking on a negative tilt, there could be a corresponding strong area of low pressure at the surface, with access to ample moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. As one would expect seven days out, there is still considerable spread with respect to the track of this system, but most solutions cluster somewhere between a track into the eastern Ohio Valley and along the coast just off to our south and east. Probabilities for substantial QPF continue to increase. If the storm were to take a favorable track off to our south and east, some or all of this could occur as snow across portions of the area. Synoptically speaking, most solutions don`t have a strong area of high pressure off to the northeast, which could work against a snow solution, but the airmass in place ahead of the system is fairly cold/dry, which could create a decent amount of cold air in-situ once precipitated into. We`ll continue to monitor this system over the upcoming week, as it has the potential to be the first substantial winter storm of the season (and really last two seasons) to the east of the mountains 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember 93 but it was 94 that I got into watching TWC all the time. Two distinct memories from that year (all these are from near IAD) - the MLK day ice storm which started out as snow in the morning, then progressed to sleet and freezing rain during the day. Just when the temp hit 32 the arctic front came through and froze everything solid...the water that had ponded in my backyard literally become a skating rink (I had taken ice skating lessons a couple years earlier, and jammed my feet, which had grown a good deal in those 2 years, into my skates just so I could say I skated in my yard!). This week had a few sub-zero low and single digit highs, and there was a clipper that came through later in the week that dropped 1-2 inches of some of the lightest, fluffiest snow I have ever seen. Mid-February there was a huge sleet storm - I want to say that the piles of sleet that bounced off the roof created 2 foot "drifts" around the house but the accumulation elsewhere was more like 4-6 inches. Then we had 2 inland runner storms, one in early january and another in early march, which were 3-6 inch type deals with wet snow, although I remember hearing that north and west did much better in these. Yea, I remember that year pretty well. There hasn't been anything close to the severity of those ice storms since and I also remember that extremely high ratio 2-4" deal we had. Dews were very low for that event. The sleet parade was the result of a low forming along a stalled out frontal boundary near the gulf coast. It snowed for like 5 minutes and the rest was several inches of pure sleet. LaGuardia ended up with close to a foot of snow lol, if I recall correctly (from news reports). That was an equally frustrating and interesting storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
