This coming rainstorm is a disaster not just for us, but also for just about the entire northeast. A lot of these places in NNE and upstate NY that were in the negative teens as recently as yesterday morning are about to get drenched with 35 degree rain. I find it incredible how quickly a lake cutter can scour out even a frigid Arctic air in a matter of hours. I guess that's what happens when you don't have blocking.

Why bother reading long writeups by the likes of Bob Chill, psuhoffman, CAPE, frd, showme, or others like them? Mdecoy has it all figured out!

Have you ever made a single post in the PA or Philly forum? You have 76 posts, and it seems like just about all of them are in the mid-Atlantic subforum, even though you claim to live in a suburb of Allentown. You do know the Philly forum includes your area, so it would be a much better fit for where you live.
-
Better than the early December setup that led to the southern slider?
-
Yeah a lot of these HECS seem to have better totals for the I-81 crowd than I-95, and the dryslot or the location of the CCB seems to be the reason. And yeah Jan 2016 had a slow start, but so did the Feb 2013 HECS when I went up to Massachusetts. Snow started late morning, but didn't really get heavy until after sunset.
-
It seemed very similar in so many ways, from the way it progressed to the areas that it hit, not to mention how the snowfall maps looked. I was a little kid in 1996, so I can't say much about that except a few vague memories, but getting a virtual repeat 20 years later was a real treat.
-
I was just reading the Jan 2016 threads the other day. That was a storm for the ages.
-
Yesterday's cold was excessive, but I'd much rather have days like today than 60s or 70s during our peak winter climo, even if it isn't snowing. It's definitely much better for the ski areas.
-
Wasn't that in Feb 1987?
-
Then you should also "hide" snowstorm5921 from this forum. He doesn't belong here and I don't think anyone wants to read his nonsense. It would be a huge net plus to block him from accessing our subforum. I'm pretty sure you have the power to do something about him.
-
High was 18 earlier today. I'm a bit disappointed that BWI went above 20. It would've been cool for them to have a high in the teens.
-
Considering the event lasted over 24 hours, 4-6" wasn't so impressive. The second round completely whiffed us.
-
And people call him out all the time for his petty complaints. There's a reason why he's known to be a total weenie even though he's very knowledgable.
-
I was just as frustrated as you were, and it sucks to be on the outside looking in, and to see areas not that far away getting 8-12" while we get half of that, but I don't think you need to keep bringing this up over and over again with every casual mention of that storm. I think most people understand that some of us didn't get those amazing totals.
-
Took the telescope out and got a very nice view during totality and when it went back to partial. Even though it was windy and 12 degrees, it was absolutely worth it.
-
I think the time has come to stop feeding the troll. Just make him feel hell-banned. Don't acknowledge that interloper. @WxUSAF @stormtracker, please also do something about him. 5-post, weenie tag, or just block him from our subforum. In any case, I'm still interested in the late-week storm. A nice change to snow with heavy rates would be a lot of fun to watch.
-
Epic epo...but nao looks neutral. Need better or we will have to fight se ridge and gradient. This is not pattern we were expecting to walk into Weren’t we just worried about the return of the nasty Pacific jet? I’ll take a huge -EPO over that any day. Very Feb 2015ish tbh.
-
Or you could do something about those handful of crap posters. 5-post them, or block them from this subforum. That should make these threads a lot more readable.
-
I will admit I’m a bit concerned about how the Pacific looks on the ensembles once we get into February. What is it that is suddenly breaking down that big ridge on the GEFS? I don’t recall seeing that a couple of days ago.
-
I have a question too: is it possible to tell how stormy the ensembles are predicting based on the height anomaly maps alone? Or does that require looking at precip and H5 panels? I’ve seen talk about the GEFS being active while the EPS looked cold and dry, and I wanted to know what to look for to figure those things out.
-
Fv3 with a soul shattering Miller b for the ages If it doesn’t bury NYC or Philly then it’s not really that heartbreaking to me. On another note, I love that we have so many chances coming up. And the cold too.
-
Nope. Looks like a Miller A. Comes straight from the gulf and runs up the coast. I'm not knowledgable enough to know exactly why this has the nasty Dec 2010/Jan 2018 precip cutoff west of the bay.
-
I should've gone to Liberty or Whitetail today.
-
It was insanely cold prior to that storm. Many models called for rain several days out, and that would've been a heartbreak for a lot of us. But as you mentioned, the cold was so entrenched that the low was able to take what was normally a lousy track and still give us a pretty big snowstorm. That event changed my opinion of the whole winter. Great storm.
-
I think that was Feb 2015. But yes, great storm here.
