    It stopped snowing around this time in the afternoon Sunday. It has remained cloudy and literally within a degree or two of 35ºF in the 72 hours since then. I dunno about any of you guys, but I'd actually like to see some sun and clear weather for a couple days. 

    That's what I was saying earlier. This cloudy weather is somewhat depressing.

    I think the snow will come. So many years where it looked cold and dry and everyone complained but eventually the snow came. Let’s get the cold air first.

    Having established cold is one less thing to be worried about for sure. At the same time, we don't really need "cold" right now - we can swing this with average temps for the next several weeks. In January and the first half of February, I want moisture first and cold second. As long as we don't see cutters the next month or so, I like our chances. Get something under us and we'll likely be happy. If it's too cold, it's likely going to be too dry.

    A couple of days ago I woke up to about 0.2" of snow that unexpectedly fell over night.  Funny thing is I don't remember which day that was precisely.  It was close to the end of the year, but before the 31st.  Any idea what day that might have been?  Adding in that 0.2" plus the 0.1" from today, that brings my seasonal total to 11.0".  (You can see it down at the bottom of my signature.)  I was intending to update that prior tiny coating but forgot to, and now I don't remember the day.

    I posted my question on my phone and couldn't see your signature. Thank you for responding. I'm sitting at 10.8" so those 2 small events you've had recently has put you on top. :)

    Well, so much for the 2 to 3 inches of snow.  Those wet snow bombs (which did look amazing) only lasted for maybe 15 minutes tops.  It was enough to accumulate about 0.1" with a tiny white coating.  Then, it stopped.  Then, the rain came back and deposited about another 0.07" of pure liquid.  On to the next one.

    What is your seasonal total for snowfall to date?

    What are your thoughts on the upcoming storm chances later this week & next week?

    I'm casually interested. Right now I'm concerned about both temps and the track. If we can get some northern stream energy to phase in south of our latitude, it's game on. I'm just not convinced that happens, and without it we'll be dealing with either a suppressed system, a warm one, or both.

    I upgraded to an iPhone 12 Pro a few weeks ago, it has one heck of a camera system. Really excels at the low light stuff, and also showing we’re still in the thick of the icing phase of this system here.

    Just bought my wife the same thing for Christmas - I buy her iPhone's specifically for the camera as she loves to take pictures while we're walking. You took some great pics with a great phone.

    Steady light snow continues in Marysville!

    The roads & all surfaces caved!

    Beautiful way to end Christmas evening!

    Yes sir - we've had flurries or very light snow for most of the day actually, but in the past hour or 2 beginning to see cars covered and some spots on my road. Certainly a very festive scene today!

    It seems like the most significant flood potential focuses on the Susquehanna main-stem (and NE PA tributaries), especially in the Upper Sus Valley on into NE PA where that particular region has the trifecta of significant rainfall, the most significant existing snowpack, and a several hour period where warm temps via southerly flow punch up into eastern PA to further enhance a more rapid snow melt. Short range models like the NAM have been downright excessive with rain totals, and the next several hours this evening will reveal if that comes fully to fruition as radar trends look to be starting to focus the heavier rainfall rates into eastern PA along the Susquehanna. 

    The other major tributaries coming from the central counties (West Branch and Juniata watersheds) look to have a significant rise but most point forecasts appear to stay below flood stage along those rivers. Temps in this part of C-PA are locked into the upper 30s-low 40s and as mentioned, heavier rainfall is starting to focus towards eastern PA. Appears that any surge in temps in the central probably comes close to/with the frontal passage as the stable b-layer gets mixed out. Lack of big time flooding coming from those two tributaries probably prevents the main stem from going full blown '96 repeat in lieu of a more minor-moderate flood event coming primarily from upstream in NE PA/southern NY. Definitely not ideal anyway you slice it, what an ugly Christmas Eve weather-wise. 

     

     

    I've picked up .33" of rain in the past 20 minutes. She's dumping...
