JCT777 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 For once, I wouldn't necessarily discount what Henry M is saying. Anyway, my drive between my wife's workplace in Harleysville, PA to our house in Spring Mount, PA tonight was interesting. We left her workplace at about 8:15 PM. Pretty much no roads between her workplace and our house were plowed (about 9 miles distance, typically a 15 minute drive). During the entire drive, it was snowing extremely hard (I would say we got about 2 to 2.5 inches of snow during that time). I drove the entire way in 1st gear (at 15 MPH) and mostly in the center of the road (because I could barely tell where the edge of the road was). Along the way, I encountered a guy who was stuck trying to drive up an incline. I tried to help him, but me and another guy were unable to push him up the hill. After a few failed attempts, he decided to turn around and go back. I was very happy to have a car with all-wheel drive! After 45 minutes my wife & I finally got home at about 9 PM. Glad to have made it home safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 GFS still shows an overrunning event than a coastal. The coastal scrapes the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlas Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 GFS might show a SECS this run, because confluence is settingup, allowing the HP to get in perfect position for us! Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosh Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Well, here is 144. It looks like it's going to transfer. The next frame after this one shows a storm in the northeast.

JCT777 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I figure this thread is the best place to post this. I enjoy tracking the storms with everyone on our region (both the PHL and NYC areas, as well as everyone in the surrounding areas). But I find it unnecessary to split the threads into PHL vs. NYC to post obs/discussion for an ongoing storm. Seems silly to have to go into two threads to see what's going on in both areas. Plus having Tombo's and Earthlight's model analysis / discussions split into separate threads just before and during a storm is not ideal IMO. Are there PHL or NYC folks who specifically have problems with a joint obs thread, or is it being done to keep the threads from going over 1000 posts too fast?

I got a KU strength snowblower the morning of the Boxing Day storm. Now, using that beast has become part of the whole overall enjoyment of this epic run we've been on these past two seasons...

Sampson Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 This season has truly turned out to be the "year of the weenie." Seems like every event is overperforming and the optimistic-type amateur IPs are way ahead of the game in terms of forecasting. If something...anything, shows a hit, that's the forecast. Don't ask them/us to explain. You'll just end up with the "seasonal trend" line, or some convenient interpretation of the models and their biases, ultimately leading to an argument of some sort. BUT, don't be fooled....the weenie will win. Us blind squirrels are stashing nuts away at an astonishing rate this year and the hoarding will continue!! Finally....the weenie strikes back :lmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 NEVER! A big storm ever 2-3 weeks with some nickle and dimes in between is perfect The day after a big snowstorm like this is like the day after your team wins the world series or super bowl-- its an amazing feeling. I bet we get one more big one this winter with a few smaller ones thrown in between, and maybe a moderate one (4-8, moderate huh? lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg ralls Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I fear that this may have been on the old Eastern forum, and thus lost forever, but someone had compiled a listing of all 12" snowstorms in recorded Philadelphia's history awhile back. Does anyone have this list still? I'm thinking this storm comes in just out of the top 10 for Philly, but I'm not 100% sure. Edit: I found it - someone updated it today, and it's one of the active threads on the 1st page of this subforum now if anyone else is looking for the thread.

ArtRosen Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 This is my new metric: 0-6 - light event 6-12 - mod event 12+ - heavy event I'd say 0-2 is a nothing event, 3-5 is a light event, 6-9 is a moderate event, 9-12 is a moderate heavy event. Can we really call something over 15 inches historical anymore? There's been so many "historical" events, they're almost par for the course. I've seen more KU storms in the past 10 years than I've ever seen my entire life.. ok, I'm in my 30s, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Puppet Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Definitely. One more big one with a parade of smaller ones will keep me happy. As long as the cold lasts and keeps our snow pack until April The day after a big snowstorm like this is like the day after your team wins the world series or super bowl-- its an amazing feeling.
