Blizzard of 93

Sorry to hear that ! I hope that she gets well soon!

There is strong support for a coastal storm from the 0z EPS, especially for this time range. Check out the 500mb Heights look ! In mid winter, we would be drooling over this pattern. At the beginning of April, it could still give some of us a chance if everything develops & tracks just right.

Here are the telleconnections from the 0z EPS. We haven’t seen the AO & PNA near neutral in a long time. The NAO is also finally going Negative!

The 0z Euro & EPS victory continued to provide a very interesting look for the perhaps final winter season act this year. A strong coastal develops & the pattern finally looks to support this chance. Here is the 0z Euro Op.

Yes, this would have been a good snow week in mid to late true winter. Today, I saw on the local LSV news that South Mountain had 2.5 inches of snow. Here in Marysville there were a few random flakes mixed in, but we never got under the best rates to give a decent short period of wet snow. Congrats to those that were lucky enough to see it snow today ! Also, we might have 1 more threat to track later next week as the NAO finally goes negative & a strong storm looks to form in the east. It we get the right track & intensity, we could have a fun end to the snow tracking season.

The unlikely combination of the Euro, EPS & HRDPS all bring some snow to mainly higher elevations of CTP tomorrow.

The 18z EPS continued the trend of a further south & east track for the Wednesday storm system. It would be something if the LSV & south central PA ended up seeing more wet snow from this storm than today’s failure.

Don’t look now, but the 18z Euro is trending further south with the Wednesday storm. It is now getting snow ever so close to the home of @Bubbler86 & @MAG5035 If only we had this storm track even a few weeks ago...

This was a great call by @MAG5035 from Friday evening. Unfortunately, we didn’t get that solid wave of heavier precip in the early am. Many of us would have been just cold enough to get some decent wet snow at least on the grass & car tops. The precip remained relatively scattered & light until that afternoon line rolled through. The precip from the Midwest & then from the developing coastal just did not get its act together in time for us. The solid precip shield did however come together for most of New England. Many folks there are getting a good event despite surface temps above freezing.

A little bit of sleet mixed in this morning in Marysville when the precip rates picked up. Unfortunately the heavier precip band this afternoon was just some heavy rain. I was squinting really hard just to try to conjure some snow flakes to mix in, but it just would not flip even in the best rates. It looks like State College got a decent period of snow with that heavier afternoon band.

Well said ! We do have good thing going here. I enjoy this place & it is a large part of the winter fun for me each season. Sometimes, I let my eternal optimism get the best of me. I thought that we had a legit chance this time of a decent light to moderate event. I also think that I realized that the end of snow chances is very near. This latest & maybe final disappointment of the season got to me. There is way too much going on in the world now to get upset by the lack of snow. My best wishes to you & your family. Also, I hope that all of us make it through this difficult time as best as possible. -Mike (there are lots of us Mikes out there!)

Thanks, maybe I’ll get more into the other seasons this year. I have a lot to learn about this fascinating weather hobby. I am starting to appreciate all of seasons more each year, but winter storm tracking will always be my favorite.

Well said! You are absolutely right. Sorry everyone for my frustration today. I enjoy this place & all of the posters. I wish everyone & their families well during this time & always.

Yes, of course me too ! But apparently the cool thing to go is give up & dismiss everything as a failure before the event. Posters like you & I that post maps & a little analysis are just fools.

Sorry, I’m just beyond frustrated with this winter season. I thought this storm held a little more promise. Thankfully snow becomes virtually impossible in couple of weeks here. We can try again next season !

Maybe we should just open up a lawn, garden & bug thread since it’s apparently impossible to snow in March or early April around here ?

Thank you .......great post ! I’ll enjoy whatever flakes that I get tomorrow morning. @Itstrainingtime , I didn’t see you post much on this storm. Thanks for chiming in!

I would settle for the 6z ICON at this point for my yard.

No problem! I’m enjoying what could be our final snow track of the season. I like the fact that current dew points are in the high single digits to low to mid teens across all of CTP this morning. They have been dropping steadily since yesterday. This should help surface temps to crash when the decent precip arrives overnight.

The 18z EPS improved again over its last few runs. It now has the 2 inch snow line down near the I - 81 corridor even to the LSV. It also brings the 1 inch line down to Rt.30.

Thanks man! This might be our last snow chance until November or December, so I am enjoying the tracking. I hope that we all score at least a coating of snow in the morning even if it gets washed away by the afternoon. The 18z Euro trended in the right direction for snow chances on Monday. The 2 inch snow line is back down to the I-81 corridor even in the LSV. The I-80 corridor continues to be in the bullseye. Hopefully the 0z runs treat us well !

@MAG5035 What are your current thoughts on the Monday snow potential for your area & for the LSV?

The Euro is really shifting the next mid week system to the south & east. The 12z run now brings snow to north central & north east PA.

Yes, I know what you mean. Hopefully, on Monday morning we all wake up to at least some snow flakes in the air.

No one is talking about a Blizzard. I think many of us would take a few hours of snow in the air & a couple of inches of snow in the grass at this point. You are in a good spot for this potential.
