I-83 BLIZZARD Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 heres the 18z dgex snowfall clow map Consider it bought and sold! That would quadruple my season total. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxologist Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 For a good idea how precarious the setup is, here are the top analogues from CIPS off ot the 01/06/11 12z GFS http://www.eas.slu.e...fhr=120&flg=new The first three dates are complete duds for this area. Near hits that looked great ahead of time and never produced. The fourth and fifth dates need no introduction. It only takes a tweak here or there at 500mb to be feast or famine with this storm, so no one should get too high or low right now. Excellent assessment.

am19psu Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 heres the 18z dgex snowfall clow map You should send that over to the SE subforum. I'm sure the ATL posters would love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisNJ Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 You should send that over to the SE subforum. I'm sure the ATL posters would love it. 18 inches in Macon, GA would make people die of starvation after weeks stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody can deny the potential right now given the upper air pattern. Agree on your point regarding the emotions, too. Still lots of time with this one.

Voyager Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 They brined a number of the roads last night and today. Interesting on the brine subject. They stopped doing it in Schuylkill County. It's been said that it isn't really beneficial, although I just think they don't want to spend the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

am19psu Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 since we are split up with just phl area, is that alright for you guys for a euro snowfall map with coverage? I know that we split the threads up, but you should probably keep the NYC area in the Euro precip map. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atownwxwatcher Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 since we are split up with just phl area, is that alright for you guys for a euro snowfall map with coverage? No problem here Tombo! SInce the threads were split and NYC is suppose to stay out of these threads and only cover the Philadelphia region makes sense.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lman Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 since we are split up with just phl area, is that alright for you guys for a euro snowfall map with coverage?

penndotguy Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 It's not really for snow. It makes a huge difference for ice events. Actually it is more for snow it keeps the snow from binding to the roadway(compacting). We dont do it as much out here in my zone anymore just select roadways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Come down and visit, George ... we're the new snow capital of the Northeast! Hey Dan! I'll take my LES scraps and not have to deal with striking plow drivers!!! I concur with the thoughts about how tedious the pattern is for next week's storm....with such a flat height field to the NW of this system, variations in any deepening/phasing of the h500 features and above will create a larger than normal spread in the solutions.

I assumed once something was already frozen, it wouldn't make much of a difference, but, yeah, that makes sense since the layer right on the surface melts.

whiteout Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 since we are split up with just phl area, is that alright for you guys for a euro snowfall map with coverage? Can you extend it west a little to include places like MDT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its best when its applied at least 24 hrs before the snow starts so traffic can work it in the road surface. Great job on here guys I really enjoy the insight Ill try to give obs later when Im in the truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job on here guys I really enjoy the insight Ill try to give obs later when Im in the truck Good luck tomorrow! Most of my commute tomorrow will be handled by local NJ townships and the NJDOT, Easton, PA to Mt. Arlington, NJ. Should be ok. Just cannot stand the folks who like to ride your tail when it is snowing hard and the roads are snow covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaoPos Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 MAp looks good the way it is, centered around philly. Even if it extends up to NYC, you can see the extend and shape of the precip field. NYC can have their map centered over NYC, or however the person posting wants to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
