Blizzard of 93

Bring it !!!

The latest Euro weeklies & extended GEFS are very snowy for CTP & the whole Northeast. Time will tell if we can salvage a strong 4th quarter Winter ending.

The Happy hour GFS was Really happy. It has another snowstorm to end the run.

I absolutely loved every second of this storm. It was a very long duration. The forecasts a couple of days before had the heaviest snow towards the MD line, but as the storm approached the day before, forecasts began to advertise 1 foot likely with more possible. Then as the storm got underway, my favorite forecast of “Winter Storm Warning for 1 to 2 feet of snow” was issued. The temperatures were in the single digits as the storm got underway Sunday am as strong High pressed down from Quebec. I remember the long “arm” of the precip on the radar stretching from the MD line well back into the Central states. The precip slowly inched north through CTP & the rates picked as low crawled eastward. By Sunday night, there was about 10 inches of snow on the ground. The storm reached the Mid Atlantic coast & intensified as it moved north. The snow intensity & flake size increased. By Monday morning it was still snowing moderately to heavy. It finally wrapped around Harrisburg by early afternoon with around 2 feet on snow on the ground. Then on Tuesday, the upper low swung through & delivered light snow bringing another 1 or 2 inches of snow. Epic storm!

Let’s start a collection for this Happy hour storm to happen…we need this, lol!

Lol, Happy hour GFS saves us with a historic storm to end the month & bring in March like a Lion!

Atlantic City?

It can torch today, but I’m keeping my shovel & ice melt close by for next week.

The overnight models continue to offer chances for Winter weather beginning the middle of next week and onward.

The pattern should hopefully continue to improve in late February into March as the blocking gets established.

This is now 5 GFS runs in a row that have showed Winter storm chances for next week. As mentioned earlier on here, the 12z Canadian & Euro also show this potential as well.

The 18z GFS has a mixed Winter storm chance next Thursday.

Multiple opportunities again for Winter weather on the 18z GFS. It has a snow chance for us next Wednesday.

I’m just happy to have another period of Winter weather tracking next week. One of these times, it will work out for us!

The Canadian has a similar idea as the GFS, while the Euro still needs a little work.

There are more chances later in the GFS runs as well.

The 0z & 6z GFS said that we will be busy tracking Winter storm opportunities next week. The first chance is the middle of next week.

The 18z GFS cheered me up a bit by showing a couple of Winter storm opportunities during the next 2 weeks. We are beyond overdue, but there is still some time to score.

I am slowly recovering from the Eagles debacle yesterday. Their defense & punt coverage units let them down in the second half. Hurts played a great game, but the first half fumble ended up being very costly. Their D line did not have any impact. The terrible call at the end of the game should never happen with 2 minutes to go. It’s unbelievable that the refs didn’t let the game be decided on the field. This game will take awhile to get over…

Today is a great day of hope for many Eagles fans! The 12z GFS also gives hope for Winter storm fans…only 10 days away..!

Great post! It’s good to see the MJO speeding towards phase 8. Hopefully we have a March like 2018, but I wouldn’t mind getting things going in late February.

Low of 33 in Marysville.

The 6z GFS is still close enough to keep an eye on for this weekend. This run gets precip to the southern tier of PA and a dusting of snow to the LSV. The good snow is not too far away in the WV panhandle this run.

The 0z RGEM brings a good amount of precip to the LSV on Sunday pm into early Monday. Currently it is showing as rain, but surface & 850 temperatures are close. It is close enough to keep an eye on the trends the next couple of days if this type of precip shield develops.
