Keith O Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Exactly, I'm 44 and have a degree in meteorology so I do know climatology is on our side and just a abnormal couple of years here but I was just speaking from the most recent 2 years has there been any storms that have had a rain/snow line set up in the "traditional" I95/287 area and we got 6"+. I know over the long haul we average more snow up here but was just making an observation about the past 2 years which have had 2 completely different setups in the Pacific but yielding the same results IMBY. Agreed. Though, i think he might be saying the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 One person said they heard 17". Another said three feet. People are asking if we're going to have Thursday off too! Ugh, I should just print my map and tape it to myself. People are going to be disappointed if they're expecting that much. Someone asked me on Twitter if 40" was a possibility. He wasn't kidding either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ababa Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Can't wait for the dreadful wednesday morning commute. With the good ratios this storm should have im expecting about 10 inches in the city. Since it falls pretty rapidly should be enough to shut everything down on Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebBreaker63 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I don't know how old you are or how far back your recollection goes but it is more the rule then the exception. Most years you always here that it will be all snow in the NW suburbs and rain or a mix from I95 east. Any Philly people want to help me out here? ... and all rain east of the GSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most years you always here that it will be all snow in the NW suburbs and rain or a mix from I95 east. Any Philly people want to help me out here? I think that sums up 2007-2008 right there. Including one storm that was supposed to be rain-->snow, dropping 2-4". We stayed rain the whole time, while Quakertown and N got the snow.

SP Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I want Elk to get 12" dump! E PA Ski areas can't win again. The conditions Friday-Sunday were great!! Most people in NEPA dont have the right ski's for 12+ powder runs. My crew loved the daily 5/2/2 of powder through the weekend and it is a lot easier on the cabin's caretaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yes_Probably_Maybe_No Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Went to Blue Mountain yesterday right until closing. Nearly froze my nads off and at times the wind was so cold it was hard to breathe. Anyways... It looks like the areas that have missed out will at least get something this time around, even if it's only a snow shower underneath the ULL.

gkrangers Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 This is going to be a "not enough to close work, but too much to safely drive in" kind of storm for Wednesday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Can't wait for some white goodness, 6-12" here we come. Not enough to close schools down probably, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quakertown needs snow Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 elk has a few runs they dont groom... but many are.. so something for everyone went to blue saturday.... it was okay.. they could use a dump... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner587 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 This is going to be a "not enough to close work, but too much to safely drive in" kind of storm for Wednesday morning. Agreed...luckily I'm in grad school in westcheter and I doubt they'll open weds morning. I also suspect that many ppl won't drive into work since it seems it will at least still be snowing rush ur weds morning. Public transportation is the way to to unless the higher end of the 6-12 verifies in the NYC metro area then you're pretty much SOL with delays and cancelations up the wahzoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg ralls Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well, I guess I'm going to go ahead and expect 6" here in King of Prussia. I didn't have a chance to with the Boxing Day storm, but this should be enough for me to get out my cross-country skis for the first time this season.

goombatommy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 That day was weird because down here in the suburbs we got the same as Allentown, yet I don't think the school district here even delayed. Easton / Nazareth Area SD's are very notorious for closing their schools very prematurely. They've given a delayed opening and early dismissals for 1" of snow. Ridiculous and to think my taxes pay for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
