I have to believe Erie is almost frozen. 

I think, but may be wrong, that when they are 30 to 40 percent frozen it is light out.  

 

Nooners at four score in Gettysburg.  Partly sunny and 33.

Below is a list of the largest January Snowstorms in Chester and SE Berks Counties in PA since 1893.

Pattern looks loaded with opportunities the end of the month.

12z Euro is on board for early Next week.

[AccuChris]

Regardless of snow chances, all models show some impressive cold potential the next two weeks. Any snowfall would only enhance the deep freeze. No January thaw on the horizon yet

From DT:  WHATS  NEXT ? 

1  NAP TIME! 

2   WILL DO  FULL REVIEW OF THE FORECAST  VS   VERIFICATION THIS EVENING.  

3.   ABOUT   JAN 20  as I said  last week  in the  NEXT  3 WEEKS NEWSLETTER ....  several  global Models  ARE   showing  significant winter  storm  THREAT. That is  also the case this morning  and at midday.

Now with this previous event that just ended  was something that WxRisk  detected in the last few days of December --- 14  days ago. About 7 days ago one of the models had developed the last nights snow system into a huge East Coast blizzard  --  the GFS model. That solution turned out to be completely wrong  and the GFS  quickly  corrected.    For the past 7 days MOST  of the global models showed a Tennessee Valley  southern  half Middle Atlantic moderate size winter storm which is exactly right. 

With regard to JAN 20 at this point  ALLLL  of the global models   -not just one are showing  SOME kind of winter event around January 19--21.   I will go into this in greater  detail with the next edition of  THE NEXT  3  WEEKS NEWSLETTER   that will come out either Sunday night or Monday morning. 

For those of you that do not know the  NEXT  3  WEEKS NEWSLETTER  is a subscription-based newsletter which you purchase on the website for $5 a month. You can sign up for multiple months. Not only is it good for tracking with the winter storms  as well  as  mild   winter   intervals, but it is  also good for planning your outdoor events once we move into the spring summer and autumn season   -- the hurricane season severe weather threats or just going to the beach,  hiking, weddings,   graduations  or  what have you

She’s safe with her two cats and husband. They fled W. It’s so awful. 

It’s really tragic especially when certain aspects were seemingly avoidable. Prayers to all out there for sure. Dont care if they are rich…losing everything ones worked for and keepsakes lost is horrible.

Sounds about right. I have a hard time believing the machine can really crank with the last ten miles before coastline being frozen

HI guys.  I'm back with the melt down of the 0.9" of snow that fell overnight.  It melted down to 0.05".  This produced an SLR of 18:1.  Looks like nothing more on the horizon for the next 7 days in the precip department.  However, plenty of below normal temps preceded by a 2-day "thaw?" with highs in the 30's to near 40.

Our daughter is in Vermont skiing this weekend. I texted her this morning asking what the temp was, her reply was "it's actually not that cold dad...it's -8."

Also, I don't have that much hair...

I'm telling you people. My cats knew something when they started eating bags of food in a day back in October.

Do cats hibernate for the winter?

Mine do not but they both got super fat this winter and have grown full, thick coats. Haven't done that the last few winters.

Friend is back home in Encino - winds shifted so out of the threat window at this time

I just don't think I'd be able to go back. Fire scares me more than almost anything. I'd be afraid of it coming back as I slept.

Sleep with your door shut if you don't already

She has multiple warning systems and they do a good job of alerting if it gets close. Only 11 are dead and that alone is a miracle.
