Parsley Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 yup i agree, im happy with 2 inches of snow lol....anyways gfs looks like its going to come in better, low should be further north. ton more amplified and hgr hgts. I look at it like this....My yard is a 3-4 inch thick glacier right now. That stuff ain't going nowhere....whether it snows 3 inches on top of that Thur. night-Friday or 8 inches, its not much different to me. Yes, heavier snow screws up roads, but really we get by pretty well around here unless it a crippling 12"+ storm, that scenario was/is not likely regardless of which model is right at the end of the week.

NJwinter23 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Still at 32.0 here with a dew point of 32, 100% RH with some low level fog. Looks like the precip coming in from the west would be ZR at least in this local area. Youre in PA I'm assuming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksCO_PA Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 PHL now 9.4" for JAN, may not sound like much to some of the "epic" crowd but it's already the 3rd snowiest JAN in past 23 yrs. The Philly JAN snowfall trend has been in a general decline since a real nice run during the late 70's - late 80's, with some definite opportunties on the horizon the month has the potential to be very noteworthy. So once again for all the young bucks savor the moment because this is really an incredible run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm also more excited for the potential extreme cold temps. then I am for the snow. As for the snowy January, it sure has been something else, I never would have thought there would be snow on the ground (for the most part) for the past several weeks. Part of me is honestly looking forward to April and May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years (with some good winters included) featured warm Januarys. But his month has been an over-performer in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
