Your coverage/reports/forecasts on WGAL for the January 2016 storm were epic. I think they're still on the station's YouTube page.

That storm was insane. I’ll never forget storm taking shape and the CCB aiming right into SC PA and thinking “man, someone is going to top 3’ from this”. But of course you have to be measured and conservative on air for hours, so it wasn’t until we had reports over 2’ ground truth that we started to verbalize the monstrous historic nature of the storm.

Hi! Good to hear from you.

Please chime in when you get the chance. We would love to have your insights.

 

Let’s see - don’t think this is the same storm at 1/15, but don’t be shocked if we get another one of those H7 fronto bands setting up further north than progged. Could be over the LSV somewhere. May get a surprise in there. 
 

Also, I really like the 2/15-2/22 timeframe.

Boy things have sure escalated the last few runs in terms of the medium-longer range. It appears we transition into a pattern next week more favorable for traditional amplification and the overnight runs have definitely obliged on that front with the big storm being progged D8-10 on both Euro and GFS as well as some ensemble support. That’s when the MJO is forecast to be running in 8 by that point, coupled with the PNA forecast to transition to postive and the NAO transitioning from deep negative toward neutral. Definitely a period of interest for sure. 

Working backwards, the weekend system is trending towards somewhat more interesting. Models seem to be starting to respond toward the fact there is a pretty significantly negative NAO block ongoing and have thus started forcing that deeper low more SE towards the coast instead of a straight lakes cutter. GFS/Euro have actually been taking the low to the coast along or under the M/D line, with the GFS being the colder scenario. Either way, that storm might not be the straight forward brief mix to rain scenario it had been looking like. 

Lastly, we still seem set for today.. least in terms of what I was thinking for accums. No real changes on those thoughts.. which was basically not much above I-80, 1-2” between I-80 and the turnpike, and 2-4” turnpike south..with near the M/D line maybe seeing a couple 5” amounts. One thing I’ve been watching is some guidance has been getting the snow up into the central counties a bit further in latitude.. so AOO-UNV corridor could possibly get into a lower advisory amount type scenario. We shall see. Tomorrow’s mix scenario that may start as more snow is still there but QPF has been kind of lacking with that lately. It will likely need another advisory for most in here for at least T ice expected and maybe an inch or two of snow for some.
