Blizzard of 93

We know this coming week is dry, but the pattern gets more active next weekend & the following week should have chances.

Silver lining is that most of us should wake up tomorrow to a coating of snow & few lucky folks might get an inch or so.

This should cheer everyone up a bit… DT’s last call map for the light event tomorrow night.

That’s a tough gut punch of a loss for Penn State fans. Sorry guys, but they did have a great season.

The 0z NAM is slightly better than 18z, so maybe that helps?

Penn State is playing a great first half.

Back to the weather, here’s the 0z HRRR for Saturday am.

I really don’t like the anti Catholic slander on here today whatsoever. As a practicing Catholic who went to Catholic school including college, I find these comments to be offensive.

I understand! That’s how I get during Eagles games & Phillies playoff games.

It’s now casting & HRRR & NAM time.

I’ve been staring at this map all week trying to understand why this isn’t delivering at least a low end Warning event, but the streams don’t want to interact properly or get out of each other’s way unfortunately.

6z NAMs improved just a bit for the light event Saturday am.

Agreed, there is a decent amount of moisture available if the 2 streams can play together nicely or at least not fight each other off.

There would still be a little more to go if the run went past 60 hours.

The 3k NAM is slightly more interesting for the Saturday am light event.

@Itstrainingtime It looks like @psuhoffman agrees with your assessment from yesterday, Lol!

Someone in another thread earlier mentioned that these light nickel & dime events can help to make a difference in the seasonal snow total. These 1.2 & .3 & .8 type of events can add up if you get several of them in a season. Last season, MDT had 5 moderate events that added up to 18 inches. What was missing were the nickel & dime events that could have allowed the seasonal total to be more respectable. My point is that I’m ok with the nickels & dimes as long as we get some meaningful storms along the way.

Back to the Saturday light event, here’s the 18z Euro.

I understand the frustration, but our prime snow climo is mid January to mid February.

More good news from the Mid Atlantic thread. This afternoon @Bob Chill & @psuhoffman were commenting that the upcoming advertised pattern has similarities to the good Winters of 2014 & 2015.

@mitchnick in the main thread commented in the last couple of hours that the latest Euro Weeklies lock in the gold through late January. The warm up in early February also looks muted according to the Weeklies.

We just missed a 6 to 10 inch snowstorm by less than 100 miles to the SOUTH of southern PA… But yes, it’s obviously over… What a joke

Super obvious on January 7th, Lol! We still have 3 months to score snow. The cold is entrenched, it’s just a matter of time until we get good snow.

The Friday night in Saturday storm looks like a light event at this point for us. Here are the 6z GFS & Euro.

Our prime climo for snow is mid January to mid February. Long way to go…
