Blizzard of 93

I got .35 today in Marysville.

I realize that your chart only includes Dec to Feb snow, but a few of those snow seasons at MDT were MUCH BETTER than what you implied above. March 2017 had a major coastal storm mid month that brought about 17 inches of snow. March of 2018 had at least 15 inches of snow in March/early April. Mid November of 2018 brought the 8 to 9 inch snow event. Early March of 2019 brought over 12 inches with a few snow Events during the first week of the month. This is just off of the top of my head, but the whole story needs told for these snow seasons overall. We have had several above average snow seasons at MDT over the last decade.

Good agreement today on the latest Operational model runs showing our potential next Winter storm chance on the 22/23. I would like to see the next frame or 2 of the 12z Euro. The 18z GFS is a nice hit for most of CTP. The Canadian also has a storm at day 10.

Same here with frost.

Well done! I am happy that you had the chance to put this together! I enjoyed the new twist with this being set in the future!

Lol…..but I thought that Winter is over due to the historic fail and it is never going to snow again & stuff….lol?!?

Long range outlook looks good from around the 20th onward according to the ensembles. Also, many of us saw a little snow earlier today…so it’s not quite a shut out. It’s not good now, but again, plenty of time to turn it around.

Lol….see you at 0z ….

I appreciate your knowledge & perspective on weather in our region over the decades. I realize it’s not good now, but a rough start does not mean that we will end up having a terrible season when the snow counting in done in March or April.

For those that can only remember a year or 2 back…. Let’s recall the recent Winter of 20-21. We had the mid December major snowstorm that brought about 11 inches to MDT. That 1 storm put us well above average through at least mid January. Then there was No more snow in December or January until the very last day of the month! The second major storm hit on January 31st into February 1st and brought around 12 inches to MDT. The February snow total was just shy of 20 inches. We ended up with an above average total near 36 inches of snow at MDT thanks mainly to 2 major storms. My point is this… we are only a few chapters in to this Winter season. The book has a long way to go.

It doesn’t matter to me when or how we get our snow… Lots of time!

Lol…we have 3 months yet to score snow. Again….MDT only averages 7.4 inches of snow through today… The majority of our seasonal snow comes in the second half of January, February & March!

Here is a little more perspective… In the fabled Winter of 09-10, we only had 3 Winter storms in central PA. December 09 and the 2 early February storms. They happened to be major storms and that Winter will be forever remembered as epic. We had No snow in January or March! Maybe this year we get 2 great storms in February again and another good storm in early March?

Look back over the decades…. Many of our Winters that end up close to average are made up of a few good weeks of cold & storms. Maybe late January 20th to February 10th will be a good period with a few Warning level events? Then maybe we have 1 more good run from February 20th to March 10th that will bring us to near average for the season. Bottom line…lots of time yet to score snow.

Like I just posted…MDT only averages 7.4 through today’s date, so we really are not too far behind. We can make up ground quickly…

MDT is now at 2.9 inches of snow for the season through today. Normally MDT is at 7.4 inches of snow through today, so we have a deficit of 4.5 inches of snow at this moment. It would only take 1 Advisory level event to get us caught up right now….there is a long way to go yet in this snow season.

Hopefully we can get something out of this storm later in the week before we wait again for pattern improvement later this month.

MDT recorded 0.9 inches of snow today, which seems reasonable and representative of the surrounding areas.

Same here with a low of 29. The car tops & grass/trees have a nice coating of snow this morning. The roads didn’t cave, but it was a little slick when I just brushed off our vehicles.

There is a small yet decent little area of precip in western PA moving to the east. Hopefully many of us wake up to at least a dusting or coating of snow tomorrow.

I would take what the 0z FV3 is serving up for the Harrisburg area tomorrow morning.

The 18z Canadian RGEM has the “lol jackpot” near @Bubbler86 and @Cashtown_Coop but I’m rooting for the High res Canadian HRDPS …. Jackpots for me & MDT !

The 18z GFS has around 1 inch of snow for many of us by tomorrow morning.

Lol and watching a certain game that’s most often played on Sundays…!

You’ve gotta play to win….
