E PA/NJ/DE Winter 2025-26 Obs/Discussion
dseagull replied to LVblizzard's topic in Philadelphia Region
As depicted, the next two weeks would be pretty memorable. Will be plenty of tracking ahead, but will begin taking runs seriously only if they are all onboard come Wednesday afternoon. -
Yes, that and how the ridge is oriented. Right now it's a bit too east and tilted east up top

January 2026 Medium/Long Range Discussion
SomeguyfromTakomaPark replied to snowfan's topic in Mid Atlantic
This is how I felt lol, cant just pop an HECS like this! 977 low sitting over lewes Delaware on 0z euro is wild. We’d be cranking snow and winds with that. -
Central PA Winter 25/26 Discussion and Obs
Festus replied to MAG5035's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Looking at the 0Z GFS, there's actually a shot we don't get above freezing for the entire run. The last time we were above freezing here was Friday the 23rd. So if true, that would realize a stretch of 24 consecutive days below freezing obliterating the previous record of 15 straight days. We better have a nice Spring after this! "The longest consecutive stretches of temperatures remaining below freezing in the Millersville/Lancaster County area are 15-day periods, occurring from Feb. 5–19, 1979, and Jan. 20–Feb. 3, 1961." -
That have something to do with where the PNA ridge will be?

Light snow, another coating on top of what fell. I’ll go with the 11” others in my area have since it was tough to measure and I think some blowing snow/stuff got onto my table I use to measure. What a mess. I wonder what liquid equivalents people have?

1/24-1/25 Major Winter Storm - S. IL, IN, and OH
RobertSul replied to A-L-E-K's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
I moved to southeast Michigan a number of years ago from central Mass, where we’d often get more snow than Boston because of less coastal taint and some amount of orographic lift. It’s been tough seeing some of their best winters since I’ve moved here, and I still stupidly believe the long range models that show 12”+ around here because that was always a reality out there. If it make you feel any better, tracking these monster storms is fun, but the reality of digging out isn’t. I had to dig a path in the backyard for the family dog growing up when an April 1st storm dropped nearly 3 feet of cement snow practically overnight, and our German Shepherd couldn’t plow through the snow to pee, and the snow was too dense for the snowblower to chew through. Spent a good 4 hours or so shoveling that day. -
Including the sleet, I end up with 11" from this. Which is in line with nearby obs. Crazy event.

January 2026 regional war/obs/disco thread
jlauderdal replied to Baroclinic Zone's topic in New England
We make a run at 90 today and then we can start thinking about snow in South Florida. Been here 30 years, never seen 7 straight days below 70 but we are heading that direction. Congrats on turning lemons into lemonade with this last system, and looking good for another next week. -

We are back -
Looks like the trough/sw is backing west, eliminating some OTS possibilities. But we'll just have to see how far west it backs until they hone into something that's close to a solution. The storm yesterday - the NS wave and the phase kept backing west for days, and for a couple days it was at the sweet spot for us, and then it still kept backing west.

Hours and hours of mist at 14° did a good job of locking in whatever wasn't shoveled. Fugger, this sux to shovel Now it's snowing lightly and covering everything again too.

I am up to 22.5 inches for the winter.

Temp falling 23F Pressure rising 29.60 Final freezing rain total according to the weather system .42"

E PA/NJ/DE Winter 2025-26 Obs/Discussion
Albedoman replied to LVblizzard's topic in Philadelphia Region
This would cause this biggest G dam flood and end in chance of a drought for a year. 96 all over again. I am done with snow for awhile. A federal disaster would have to be issued and the resulting melt and thaw with any rain over a couple of inches would blow out every fricking bridge on the Delaware. Next big worrk folks other than this BS run of the Euro, ice jams. The base flows are low in the streams, nearly 2ft of snow on the ground north of S Mtn and 3-5 days of below zero weather and highs not even cracking 26 degrees. The Delaware, Lehigh and especially the Susquehanna are frozen over now or close to it. The media is going to go crazy. I did not say Schulkill because the cooling waters from the industrial treatments plants from Limerick ,Oaks and Reading may keep the water warm enough in that river from freezing over.
