ChescoWx Posted Monday at 02:57 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:57 PM The first model run of the day the 12z NAM which is a bit out of it's range has temperatures here at the surface staying below freezing all day Wednesday and through around 8 or 9am on Thursday. While that is happening warmer air will be moving in above us at around 5k feet. Meaning by about 4am on Thursday morning temperatures will be well above freezing where snow is made. This means whatever falls after that time will be some form of non-snow meaning sleet or freezing rain. Then it will be a race to see how we get the surface to warm for plain rain.

Violentweatherfan Posted Monday at 03:14 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:14 PM All kidding aside, my feeder is packed with Bluebirds, Cardinals, Goldfinches, Titmice, Chickadees, and four species of Woodpecker. They know something is coming 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted Monday at 05:31 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:31 PM The latest GFS runs has 4 winter events with all but this weekend's event having snow accumulation as part of the mix. This weekend on the model looks like mainly freezing rain changing to rain. Below are the 3 individual model snow events with 2 day totals over the next couple weeks. NOT A FORECAST! The first snow event is this Thursday. #2 is next Wednesday/Thursday and #3 is the weekend of the 14th-15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the last 2 storms happen, when are we going to have our parade for the Eagles Super Bowl victory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted Monday at 06:52 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:52 PM Euro ensembles are honking LOUD for next Wednesday. Ensemble mean is 3-6” for the region which is pretty insane for something 9-10 days out. Last time I can remember a storm signal like this was Jan. 2016.

jwilson Posted Monday at 08:53 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:53 PM The snowfall maps for the GFS are cracked out because they are showing a lot of sleet accumulation. Conditions for a couple of those events don't support a moderate snowfall solution. In other words, they can't really be trusted right now. The longer term pattern looks more interesting, but there's a chance of an all-snow event next week prior to or around Valentine's Day. The GFS has several discrete events over a few days, but I think that might consolidate down into two - mid-week and then a weekend something. The Euro is keying more around the 12th/13th and then there's less consensus for a weekend event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted Monday at 09:02 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:02 PM 18z NAM with snow / sleet and ZR would be quite the messy mix if it was to be believed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGorse Posted Monday at 09:20 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:20 PM The 18z NAM has quite the 700-850 mb FGEN forcing resulting in that initial focused band of heavier snow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place your bets! I dont think it's a head fake wrt the hemispheric pattern and favorable teleconnections, though I could see us getting screwed with sleet and rain right before the cha ge, then suppression with the actual pattern in place, and lastly missing archambault event when it all breaks down circa march 2001.

Ralph Wiggum Posted Monday at 09:54 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:54 PM Would be really cool to ha snow during the Eagles victory parade next Wednesday, even though they would probably reschedule it. Yep, I said that too. Going for the ultimate jinx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
