That is with the northermost fronto banding associated with the 700mb lifting. Progged to setup just S of the PA border, but I wonder if it ticks N and some of those 6" amounts work their way into SE PA southernmost counties. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 This thread is awfully dead for a snow event that will begin in about 5-6 hours. We may not be getting the big amounts like DC, but it’ll still be decent for many of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm committed to being happy with snow TV and a mere coating for tomorrow morning, and then looking forward to tracking whatever might materialize for next weekend.

We may not be getting the big amounts like DC, but it’ll still be decent for many of us. posters these days want a foot or more for this event which is not going to happen. Many are wishful kids that have little background in meteorology and love to critique weather models, no matter what the range the computer model was originally designed for. You and I just want to see frozen precip on the other hand and try to use whatever SR model fits the bill for the existing pattern and or storm event. Basically many posters have no weather history of actually experiencing the formation and outcome of a winter storm in certain patterns using modelogy patterns. Thats why many do not respond to me in a positive limelight. For example, If they even knew what a "travelers advisory" really meant and how storms evolved without the internet by simply trying to interpret weather models with only physics or a meteorological background 30 = years ago, many posters would be on this board right now at 3 am like you and me. Thats the true weather historic experience. and not simply regurgitating their opinion -wishcasting- on a LR only weather model within 24 hours of the storm event. This video clip below is what I experienced before the NWS changed the winter warning system. and makes me LOL. Travelers advisory- now called winter weather advisory -really meant no traveling should take place no matter how much ice or snow and was set at a top range 4" or less everywhere especially before a winter storm warning was issued. That is where the word" plowable " came from too as most municipalities set the depth of snow to 3" or more before plowing. We need to go back to the way it was. The winter warnings system are now too convoluted with too much specific criteria to the average intelligence of the non scientific community now who have never taken any geography or weather courses in school. Specifically winter storm criteria of six inches is set way too high as it is now nearly double the amount of plowable snow depth for local municipalities . A winter storm warning criteria should go back to 4" everywhere. In other words, the average Joe blow has no idea what the NWS criteria is for the issuance of a winter storm today and really does not care. But a plow driver/municipalities sure do and these guys were left out of the picture when these NWS warning decisions were made in the last 20 years. Thats why I track and rely on weather history to formulate my forecast for my family and friends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL As a note, the Philly public schools and Archdiocesan elementary/middle schools are closed today (Archdiocesan high schools are on virtual instruction). The city also closed its offices today as well, interestingly enough. The early '70s was the "snow drought" period with little or nothing really happening until 1978! Didn't stop us from turning on KYW for the numbers though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have rather gone in now while the roads weren't bad and then come home as the road crews are cleaning up. But that's why they get paid the big bucks I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
