That would be incredibly cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 I had to head over to the Scranton area today. Got blown around a decent bit, no snow over there. The top of Greenville Mountain was a sight to see with plenty of ice still coating the trees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 A couple south facing slopes under trees in my yard are becoming bare but still a solid 4” at the stake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 28 days that have remained below freezing here this season. That is the most since 14-15 which had 34 with 38 being the most I've recorded here in the 13-14 winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This winter already blows those two away, which is a low bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestHillWx Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Just did a quick up and back to the Kartrite water park with the kids. Packed, but the kids had fun. Once you get north of Port Jervis on Rt. 42 the snow pack builds considerably. I have some grass showing down this way, which should melt out this week.

gravitylover Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Big patch melted out in the front yard and is greening up already Everything else is still 100% cover. This stuff ripened in no time, really surprised me. I thought the ice cap would hold stronger but that couple of tenths the other day screwed it up.

wdrag Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Ensembles say we're in the game even if LI is shut out the next two weeks. North of I84 has a little hazardous covering early Thursday (snow or ice). Outlook beyond for the I84 corridor: while there might be a minor less than 2" event there in the hills this weekend, the more widespread risk for a period of hazardous snow and ice exists between March 6-10. Too early to be sure, since those events could end up wet, but if you like snow, March 6-10 is the better opportunity. AFTER March 12, a potentially lengthy eastern USA warmup should develop that could result in periodic much above normal temps between roughly March 12-21-looking like springlike conditions. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Walt, we’ll see what happens with this time period. The 18z GFS today is showing 2 events in this timeframe. This could be the grand finale for the snow possibility’s this season.

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I will most likely call an end to the snow cover in my neighborhood by the end of the day tomorrow. Doubtful we get through the day above 50% coverage. Even this stuff couldn't last for ever. The last couple of days put a serious dent in it.

I wish it would dry out quicker here, yesterday at least still had a lot of run off out of the pack and the mud hasn't improved at all yet.

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I'm officially calling an end to the snow cover today. Shaded areas still holding out tough but full sun areas are done. With only 30.3 inches of snow so far this season there have been exactly 50 days of solid snow cover. Would have liked more snow, but the temperatures were average to slightly below so the Winter gets a C in my book so far for the 50 days of looking like winter, and the White Christmas as an added bonus. It could still grade out a B but that would take an above average snowfall March, right now that doesn't look likely. Looking back this winter is very similar to 2021/22. We had 34.8 inches of snow and 53 days of snow cover, that winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdrag Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Two days later, March 5-6 event mostly wet (except maybe tail end?), but March 8-early 9 imo continues to look decent for a widespread wintry hazard I84 corridor. The ECAI will have to warm up in future cycles to prevent a slippery accumulation of ice and wet snow mainly just north of I84. Models waffling here, back and forth. Not writing this off. 06z/27 AI 2m temp pretty cold throughout the event just n of I84 and marginal (33-34F) just s of I84 where its maybe too warm for snow. This 32F 2M temp is even with the warmer northward shift since 00z/27. ECAI seems a bit too strong of a storm but definitely a nice following short wave to the 3/6 short wave. For us up here I84 corridor, I think we're in the game but not the kind of pure snow I like to see. GRAPHCAST 2M T is.a little warm but 850 cold enough for snow accumulating in elevations entire I84 corridor. I will monitor for something hazardous 9 days (3/8) in advance and see if it holds, and maybe a comeback tail end on 3/5...again I84 corridor interests. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 34.8 inches of snow and 53 days of snow cover, that winter. I don't get into the whole grading system for seasons but this winter season looks likely to be below average again for snowfall IMBY. That would make 6 of the last 7 winters, although 18-19 was only 1.2" below, so that's close enough to normal IMO but 4 of those winters are double digit below average, we'll see if March can somehow bring this year out another potential double digit deficit.

wdrag Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 fwiw.... 12z/27 EC AI already out... further s and pretty big for wintry event I84. Has to be wrong... only 1 member. Can't count on this. Ditto 3 cycles of the GEFS 24 hr snow depth change showing 1-3" accums I84. I'll leave it alone for a day of cycles to see if anything continues significant FOR US. This is the only widespread hope on the horizon for our area so far and it's in the realm of low reliability. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdrag Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 It did...spotty traces and nice look for 15-20 minutes around 715A, mostly colder surfaces but roads and most of driveway wet and no new salting. Saw this morning 0.2" snowfall ne PA - w of PJ - north of I84. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdrag Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 As far I'm concerned, we're still in the game for the 8th-9th... modeling all over the place. There is no ECAI EPS yet... give this 3 more days to ferret out the multiple solutions. We should know by wakeup 3/4 whether there is a legit risk for a hazardous weather event. Trop tidbits is much faster displaying the ECAI MSLP and qpf. while Pivotal so far, is slower on delivery but much more info including snowfall. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 All 12z/28 ensembles have the only 15 day chance of a widespread wintry hazard for the I84 corridor March 8-9. No there comment til this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
