Even if it proves to be a decent winter, there are always points therein where we need patience. Pattern could be ripe as we've seen before but we don't get hit until it relaxes. Good vibes this year tho...we got this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday afternoon and night, Wizard of Oz was on and I kept going to the window to make sure it was still heavy snow, lol.

Then it snowed another 9 inches! I also remember hammering nails in the front wheel of my youngest brother's Christmas tricycle, for better traction. We were ahead of our time, lolol. (Wasn't the smoothest ride). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Reilly Posted Wednesday at 08:21 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:21 PM Soo..... what happened to Mostly Sunny high 38 today??? Got the temp right but the sun hasn't made an appearance at any point today. Sounds like a pretty blown forecast at very short leads. Must be an inversion layer those are always pains to forecasts.

ChescoWx Posted Thursday at 02:59 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:59 PM As has been the trend for much of December we will see below normal temperatures today and tomorrow. However, by Saturday we start a warming trend that will peak on Sunday before we start a gradual chill down as we move into the New Year. If you like sun this afternoon and tomorrow look like the last sunshine of 2024. Rain chances increase late Friday night and will continue into New Year's Day. There may be a little freezing rain or drizzle tomorrow night across the higher spots of NW Chester and SE Berks counties. Rain totals by New Year's day may be between 1.5" to 2.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted Friday at 01:18 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:18 AM On 12/24/2024 at 9:56 AM, Albedoman said: MIller A potentials setting up by mid January. For the first time in 5+ years, I see GOM lows forming off the SE Texas coast in the LR modeling. The 4 corner lows are dipping down into Mexico , going west into the GOM and sucking up the moisture from the GOM, then heading NE. Hope this pattern keeps up. Rule of thumb for the newbies- If it snows in Memphis/Dallas, we usually get 6+ in of snow here. With the lows forming and deepening in Southern MS, we stand a good chance of seeing this scenrio unfold. Lets hope that the CAD situation like 94 does not come a problem if a portion of the Vortex breaks off and hits first. I would love to see a +PNA and at the same time the GOM lows start producing, then the potential for major snow events increases exponentially. Yes, this morning is a local traffic nighmare. The salters came by, did not even melt the residential roads. Hopefully when the sun comes out in a few hours, things will change. Red Sky, I am glad you got your white christmas. Never give up. I went over the Green Lane reservoir yesterday, I was sick to see how far it is down right now. The drought lives on. What water remains is frozen, thus no runoff storage possible from any rains after Christmas. The soil is like concrete right now. We really need a 3 inch rain with 50 degree temps after the New Year before the next major snow event. Hey guys, look at this evenings 18Z GFS run. Looks like Dallas to Memphis gets some snow in week or so and oh wait 6 in + for us too. Now where did I hear that scenario before? LOL I love the memphis discussion below for tonight. It is a dream forecast for me to hear booming t- storms at Christmas Hell , we could not even squeeze out one decent t- storm here all last summer with any booming thunder and they get it in the winter. What slap in the face for us. .DISCUSSION... (This evening through next Wednesday) Issued at 205 PM CST Thu Dec 26 2024 Shortwave ridging across the region has allowed mostly dry conditions across the area today. These dry conditions will be short lived as a low pressure system will return showers and thunderstorms later this evening. Depicted on deterministic soundings, a steep inversion will be over the Mid-South this evening. This inversion will keep the gusty winds from mixing to the surface as well as limit surface based instability. A maritime tropical airmass has struggled to move over the region with this inversion as dewpoint depressions are still around 10 degrees or more at this hour. The severe weather threat tonight is very marginal at best. The thunder, however, will be intensified due to the inversion, so prepare for loud thunder to awake you overnight. While the severe threat is limited, heavy rain is still a concern. Precipitable water (PW) values will be in the 90th percentile (around 1.3") for this time of year. Highest rainfall totals will be along and west of the Mississippi River hovering around 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted Friday at 04:09 AM Share Posted Friday at 04:09 AM Interesting to absolutely nobody but me, our forecast temps were supposed to hit 39°F today, but only barely reached 33. We were also forecasted sunshine from 10am until sunset, but the sun only finally peaked out around 3pm. I, for one, was happy to have a mostly cloudy day, as I love these kinds of days. And we still have the odd patch of snow on the ground from a couple days ago. Happy boxing day, everyone. I'm interested to see how tomorrow goes.

Duca892 Posted Friday at 02:40 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:40 PM I am an absolute no nothing but I feel like the hype for January has died down a tad? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Reilly Posted Friday at 03:42 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:42 PM Duca892 I will take it down another level lol: Last night's low 22f here currently 35f (kiss those Temps goodbye down here on the west side of the Delaware River) Looking forward to warm and wet incoming maybe a bit of freezing rain to the NNE of us later tonight very early tomorrow hence the winter weather advisories up there. I am looking forward to some much-needed rain again to attempt to fill the reservoirs but very warm. It is even possible to see a rare December thunderstorm on Sunday during the Eagles Game. Sorry Duca892 for the rest of December it 100% is sh_t the blinds time. As for January the only thing that can be said is we get cold over time but look on the bright side we have had 1.58" of snow at least down here others more others less so we are still doing better than last year. I do believe we see normal snowfall this year or at least I hope we do for Drought's sake. I still do hold hope for January certainly not dead yet and it does believe it or not at least to me have a normal feel to it honestly dating back many years to the 70's and 80's. I do think we get snowed on in January I will go with 8-14". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted Friday at 03:57 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 03:57 PM Yes, looking forward to rain to wash away all the excessive salt! Then hoping for thunder on Sunday to invoke the "Wiggum Rule".

ChescoWx Posted Friday at 04:20 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:20 PM Yesterday was our 6th below freezing high temperature of the month. This is the most sub-freezing December days here in East Nantmeal since back in 2017 when we had 10 such days. Today should be our last below normal day till next year! Before we warm up we will get a little wet. We will need to watch temperatures overnight tonight as we could see some spotty freezing drizzle or rain over the higher spots in NW Chester and SE Berks Counties before temperatures rise. It looks pretty wet between now and New Year’s Day with as much as 1.50” of rain before midnight New Year’s Eve. We will turn much colder again by later next week.
