just for shitz and giggles for the snow weenies, this what the Lehigh Valley/ Allentown is showing. Of course I take but C"mon man- how unbelievable is a 41 inch snowfall? I would be happy with half of that. One thing, in every single model run for all the models for three days now, the LV has been close or near jackpot. That in itself is unbelievable.

i just cannot believe these snow maps. I all my years on this forum, I have never seen a clown map show such high snow totals. Even we get half of this, it is an ass kicking storm event with many hours of blizzard/whiteout condition as and record setting hourly snowfall rates and convective ( thunders snow) banding. This will be a storm to remember like 93 and 96 if it pans out.

I just cannot understand why Mt. Holly is gun shy about Mondays snow event. The NAM has been consistent now for days on showing at least 5 " in for the LV but tonights forecast says less than 1/2 inch. Evap cooling will overtake and they keep ignoring this possibility. I have seen it so many times in the LV in this situation. The ground temps are still cool as demonstrated by the ground by the dense fog advisory tonight? The model indicates at least an advisory level event for days now. Honestly, if Mondays event drops 4 in like I am expecting plus another 16+ in on Wednesday. it should set the record for the most snow in December for the LV. What a Christmas gift Additionally, the Wednesday snow event could be some major snow drifting issues that we have not seen here in nearly a decade or longer. It could be a storm to remember for sure. Nobody has brought that up along with a good chance of thundersnow has the low bombs out.

still in the bullseye 9" for the LV on the ECM

LV will get something at least. We have been in the bullseye for the CMC, Euro and GFS in todays runs for at least 6" or more. To see model agreement 7 days out is a nice change. I just hope they all do not agree to take it ups the Apps or out to sea in later runs. If its an inland runner, dam I hate cold rains. If the LP sits over the Chesapeake Bay area, big time snows accumulations when it goes negative tilt for NW of the fall line- can you say CCB set up?

for my 30 years of forecasting snow in eastern PA, I can firmly tell you historically that in a dying La Nina pattern that nothing will come to fruition as far as a major snow event until around Martin Luther Kings day- then watch out out. I expect to see decent chances of several 4-6 inch snowfall events before and after just after Christmas and then the snow bucket will be buried after 1/18/202. The pattern really sucks right now with the weak cold shots not aligning with the lp formation along the eastern seaboard. Cold dry warm rain is normal for this time of the year. Need a few strong clippers to keep the cold air in place and for gods sakes we need to get the lake effect snow machine going to even have a decent chance. So far that is even pitiful too with no snow covering to keep the cold air in place from warming so much before going over the Apps. Mts. This pattern will be ripe for a major ice storm come in January before the pattern changes too.

no, I am a soil/geological scientist . Name calling gets you absolutely no credibility as having a physical science background for sure on this site. With warm overnight temps, the soil temps cannot drop and grass keeps growing. 15+ degree avg temps overnight temps will not place cool season grass in dormancy Soil temperature is not the same as air temperature Soil temperature is not the same as air temperature. The earth acts like a giant radiator. It gradually absorbs the suns energy over time, and then releases it slowly. Air temperature can fluctuate dramatically as day turns to night and as the seasons progress. Soil takes a long time to change temperature. In the spring, the soil is cold from the winter and can take a long time to heat up. This is why spring scarification and lawn repairing can pose problems due to the soil not having warmed sufficiently. Seed may not germinate quickly and grass growth can be sluggish. Using an infra red thermometer to check soil temperature In the autumn, the opposite is true. The air temperature maybe falling, but the soil retains a lot of heat. This helps seed germination and aids the grass in absorbing valuable nutrients from autumn fertilisation. Many lawns can continue to look green and lush well into autumn and early winter. Autumn is usually the best time for seeding and major lawn renovation work.

another crappy night to sleep if you like cold crisp fall nights - windows open still in the low 50's at 1 am Mt Holly says to 38--- no way in hell with the stratus cover again. Avg low for my area is 30 degrees- I stand over 20 degrees above normal right now. I will be mowing until January at this rate.

I wonder if anyone from Mt Holly has done a study on how warm it has been since late May during the overnight hours compared to normal years? To have nighttime hours 10-15 degrees above normal constantly and sometimes even 20 degrees has been a real son of gun for sleeping with the windows open. The grass continues to grow, the green mold growing on everything outside from the decomposition of fallen leaves/ light rain, mold counts still high and continuing cloud cover. Yes the heater has not run much but really, I do like to see frosty mornings during the fall. This year's constant stratus cloud cover at night has been just plain unbearable

well the first legit snow/sleet/ white rain chance in less than 2 weeks for eastern pa. We will see

snow showers in Macungie weird at 45 degrees. Air is really cold upstairs

still looking at some snow by the end of the weekend for the LV ---models still honking to at least seeing it. Accumulation - a dusting in the LV little more on the hills. People will be surprised and it will be newsworthy over the CV virus for a change.

still seeing snow by this weekend in the LV . Wed- Sun time frame CMC, NAM honking but its a close call. Poconos will see snow though

a significan t snowfall event still shows up at 3-6 in wet snow for the LV in a (19th-22) at the 12z GFS model run. Still keeping my eye on it as the snow potential is still there. Call me a weenie but the chances are really there and the continuous blocking pattern that are in and waited all winter for will not leave. The Easter Monday severe storm potential - tons of straight line wind damage setup clearly depicts this storm setup for the next potential wild storm event for late next weekend and maybe even snow.

repetitive GFS model runs in the last few days indicate wet snow possible next weekend 18-19th time frame. I know there is a cold bias with the GFS but with a deep cold pool LP sitting near us, I cannot discount a "tulip snowfall event" from happening. It would be real ironic that the heaviest snowfall in three months occurs after Easter. Expect the unexpected.

please go back to school. We did have convection. You can have convection without producing thunder and lightning. There were severe t- storm warnings issued and an EF1 tornado . You do not need thunder and lighting to create convection. Why must you insist on challenging me? Do have nothing better else to talk about other than wishing for a snow storm? Convection – When warm, moist air near the surface rises to be above the heavier cool, dry air this is a form of heat transfer or convection. The rising motion typically cools the air. As the air cools, it reaches the dewpoint and all of the moisture in the air condenses– forming clouds. Depending on many factors, these clouds can form rain and even thunderstorms. The process of falling rain is caused by convection. Dry Convection – The type of convection not associated with storms is called dry convection. This occurs when warm air at the surface rises to be above the cooler air overhead. Because there is no moisture, this typically doesn’t have cloud cover associated with it.

woopie ===looks like t storm a good bet this morning with the passage of the front. Watch out for the flash freeze damaging winds and blowing snow?

lots of rain coming this way. T- storms a good bet

as per Mt Holly this morning--- we track since no big snows seen as of yet Due to the heavy rain falling on top of already wet soil we could certainly have some nuisance flooding and significant rises on local area small rivers and streams. If widespread rainfall totals reach or exceed 2 inches then additional flooding would be possible. Given that the axis of heaviest rain may occur near and especially east of I-95, held off on any flood watches. Event rainfall totals are forecast to be 1.5-2.5 inches with local amounts close to 3 inches. In addition, at least some guidance shows a little instability developing primarily across portions of Delmarva early Friday morning as the surface low passes nearby and ahead of the cold front. The soundings look on the moist side which may result in rather limited instability, however given the robust wind fields this will have to be watched. Some high-resolution guidance suggests that Delmarva could be on the northern extent of a possible squall line. Given less than ideal instability forecast for lightning production, opted to leave a thunder mention out for now. The greater chance for some thunder looks to be south of our area.

Latest Mt Holly discussion-----------------Thursday night into Friday the low over the central United States will finally swing east and take on a negative tilt. The ECMWF, GFS, and CMC all show slightly different solutions here. The GFS has surface low pressure heading northeast over the coastal plain of NJ. The ECMWF has the low heading northeast towards Ontario. The CMC is a hybrid of the two. Either way, wet weather looks to persist into Friday. The latest run of the GEFS shows a widespread 1 to 2" possible for the Wednesday through Friday period, while the EPS run has totals closer to two inches. Saturday, drier weather will return with another upper level low approaching from the west. Potential for some good flooding at least

Well, nothing better than tracking legit t- storm chances in February rather then tracking GFS 10 day fantasy snow storms in a miserable snow producing pattern. Lets see if we can get flood warnings to t- storms in this crazy pattern since there is way more more warm air available to produce flooding rains and t-storms than cold air to produce heavy snow. Lets start off this topic by discussing this afternoons Mt Holly discussion about the triple point threat- always a severe t-storm in late April for us when we get into this situation. Lets see if we can manage some serious discussion about this particular threat along with above normal temps. Time to get off the snow-deprived train. By Friday, a kicker shortwave will ride southeastward across the Plains and finally push the stalled trough along. At the surface, this will translate to a final push as a more noticeable surface low forms across the Southeast and pushes up the I-95 corridor Friday, with the triple point moving directly over our area. This will not come as anything different than what we`ve seen thus far this winter with another unfavorable storm track for appreciable snow fall. No significant snowfall is forecast for the next seven days. We`ll just have to maintain patience for now.

ground hogs day needle storm is kaput. My foot of snow for the LV has died on the vine- a slow miserable death. If we are lucky 1-2 inches that will melt as fast it fell if we get even receive any frozen precip at all. Valentines day week, the last gasp of a pattern change and maybe a 10 day fantasy storm as demonstrated by the models again this morning is like taking your last dying breath otherwise this winter will go down in the record book. I am getting real concerned that we could get" Marched On" with the spring vegetation popping up and blooming so early by the end of next week. One good extreme freeze from a short cold snap and spring flowers and blooms will take an ass kicking. Also , having a foot of snow on blooming daffodils is not good if it is followed by arctic air for a week. Even though I said the analog year was 94-95 for this year, this season reminds me a lot of happened in 93 before the superstorm. While I am not saying we will have another one, the potential really exists for one of the Miller As to be a real good snow producer if the pattern changes after Valentines day FWIW.
