Just a matter of time until the southeast ridge comes to turn the storm track up the coast into our 50/50 block. Models tonight were definitely meh I agree. When the SE ridge comes back, so will the storms running toward us. Why? The rex block in the SW pac off of California will finally begin to break down after next week too less wildfires in LA too. This will create more troughs in the US and less progressive weather patterns. Lets just hope the cold air sticks around too at the same time First and last call 2-4 inches for the LV if we are really lucky with the snow ratios. Just enough to get the ground white. Time to put this storm to rest for the LV. No drought buster for sure. From Philly west to Harrisburg 6-8 in is a good bet --Warning level for them- advisory for the LV. This storm is a Ohio Valley special. From Indianapolis to Columbus to Washington, they get buried. They deserve it as they have been snow starved for years too. Our turn will becoming around Martin Luther King Day. Cold and dry will become the norm like the December... January 3 I said this same thing yesterday. The confluence will hopefully weaken a little as the LP moves slightly northeast of the projected path possibly creating higher snow ratios for the LV. This storm will also be remembered for ushering into our area the very windy and dry cold weather for the entire week. Freeze up the lakes and river time. Ice jams later in Jan/Feb? Hope people have humidifiers in their houses and a lot of chapstick as baby the static electricity will be unreal. The heating bill will skyrocket after this week.

Models tonight were definitely meh All I know is that 2001-02 was way worse than this winter. That was a dry torch that never really had a chance, which is why we got a drought emergency that went on for months on end. At least this winter is cold, and there is hope for snow. Heck, we even got a normal precip departure in December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 We continue well below normal temperatures for the next couple of days before we very briefly "warm" to closer to normal before we again fall to well below normal temperatures starting Monday night and lasting through all of next week. Light snow showers will arrive overnight and be over just past daybreak tomorrow morning with a coating to 1"of snow across southern sections of the area.

About 1" below for the cold winter. A thousand inches of fantasy snow though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Hey guys, two major sinkholes in the last two days one in Hanover Township near the LVI airport- took out a bunch of homes and the video below in philly. Its only going to get worse like I said late last week with this drought. The groundwater tables are falling like a rock with frozen topsoil layers https://www.itemfix.com/v?t=kn547p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to your conversation up top here I too am very concerned about water levels they are still dangerously low Springton Reservoir remains 20 feet below or so.

LVblizzard Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Steady light snow. Started sticking immediately. Got a dusting so far, hoping for at least an inch when I wake up later this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Light snow started here in earnest around 1:30 am, after a couple of warm up rounds. Currently light snow, 29F, dp 15.

RU848789 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 As of 5:30 am we had 0.3" on the ground at 27F (fell back to sleep after that so didn't get to post it, lol) and as of 6:30 am we have 0.6" of very fine, fluffy pixie dust on pretty much all surfaces, so pavement is slick, but looking at the radar, it looks like that's about it for this "storm." We're up to 6.5" on the season. Very pretty little snowfall though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
