Itstrainingtime

I said something to my wife about the front or back end scenario and she said right now...neither.

I remember your request, and I am only posting about weather now. As I said last week, I was largely responsible and apologize again for that.

I didn't see anything really out of line. I might have missed something though.

I was telling a few people this over the weekend. There were several winters that decade that produced so few chances...it was a lean period save for a few bigger events. On top of that, our knowledge was limited back then to TV 7 day forecasts...without being able to parse models and such, we couldn't even get a glimpse into all of our impending failures like we can today.

I could not possibly agree more with you on every point and at every level of your post. It's way bigger and way deeper than jaded weenies on a weather board.

25 and frosty this morning. It's been years since we've had a frontal passage accompanied by a sharp temp drop - much more common back in the 70 and 80s. I'm not talking about going from 65 to 44, I'm referring to 40 degree drops like what we might see this week. At least it's something interesting to watch for.

More rain for me...

We'll see-I'm not super enthused right now.

Map can't be right...part of Lanco sees snow on that.

We do wind well!

Really, really want to see some snow (obviously) over the next few weeks. We're in prime time for snow retention, which was the thing that I was most excited about with this epic pattern.

That, I do not know. But I don't ever remember not seeing so much as a flake by the end of December. I'm hoping to not make history this year.

I went from a heavy dusting at 12z to a very light dusting at 0z. LOL

AC Watches up for late week!

Weather not sports report - snowing in Orchard Park NY.

City and north right now.

It very, very rarely works for us. But not never.

It snowed on March 12th (I measured 3") and it came after temps dropped from the 50s the previous day, but I can't remember all the details of the setup going in.

Who knows even what tomorrow's runs will bring? Lots can happen.

I'm patiently waiting to complete my annual snow mow. Am I going to have to wait until January? I don't ever remember doing that before.

I really should have mentioned who I was listening to yesterday. It was Eric Webb. I like him. I tend to keep my expectations in line with his thoughts and it usually works out well. Things can still change (!) but he's looking pretty good right now. He's insisted the ridging has been too far west for an east coast storm and it has been for days.

Even though I was on the outside looking in, I can't imagine a more anomalous weather event around these parts in my lifetime.

40 here and rising quickly.

That Lanco county inverted trough years ago - I woke up that morning with clear skies and dry roads. No snow had been forecast and I was zoned out on even the possibility of anything happening the previous night. I'm driving to work, heading down Chickies on 441 into Columbia, and while crossing over 30 I see this car heading westbound towards York with deep snow on their roof. I thought they came from Buffalo or something - I get to the office and find several call offs, all from workers near Lancaster and all of them saying they can't make it in due to heavy snow. I'm like "WHAT?!?!?!" I ran into a friend who lives in Manheim Twp. who casually comments that he picked up 12" of snow overnight. We live 13 miles apart. To my knowledge my skies were clear the entire night. Talk about being pissed...

Great run on the GFS. Good to see the Germans starting to buy what we're selling. Bumpy but fun ride ahead.
