Ruin

man nws in our area are jokes they love to downplay storms so much you see the hate they have for winter storms. I just dont know lol.

I think its kind of pathetic that we go from artic air to just below normal. The to a weeks worth of snow storms off and on to mix of ice and snow now to rain for mon and tues. with a Low in mexico instead of riding the gulf coast like it does 9 out of 10 times and goes up the east coast now its a apps runner?

so we go from artic air to just slightly below normal from snow to a ice storm then to rain. smh all this talk about a long week of off and on winter storms and now nothing? dont get me wrong i hate ice so thats a plus. but just wow a low that is all the way in mexico that 9 times out of 10 rids along the gulf then up the coast has turned into a apps runner?

well for my area radar doesnt even look like any thing is going to happen for me. I think they are going to end the wwa for me at least then bring it back monday maybe but now it looks like just rain?

the way things have gone the last few winters its probably right lol no matter how odd it may seem to us. sometimes the weather just licks to F us in the end wasted cold no artic air after all etc.

Some of the models are pushing this L for next mon tues farther south then i could remember any L going in the winter.. All the way down to the heart of Mexico but only to push it almost as a apps runner the trends are slightly farther east now. But doesnt give us all snow in fact very little snow but a bunch of sleet and frz rain. normally when a L goes close to the gulf we get a major storm that rides up the whole coast from about GA to SC NC then up the coast. Has any one else seen a Low go that far south and not turn into a major storm snow wise? The Low itself doesnt get to strong down to 1003 or so.

when you still hear online weather and local weather forecasters claiming the cold air is coming or artic blast incoming. even if it was coming 20s for my area is never considered artic highs in the teens or below would be artic not 20s

so much for the artic air

just outside Middletown when i came home around 230am at work I had 3 inchs on my car. when I got home a 20 min drive I had 3.5 and still snowed pretty good for 2 hours. I havent went out since I got home but safe to say we hit just over 4 inchs

the artice airmass just up and vanished on my forecast one day in the 20s the rest mid to upper 30s with 1 40 lol so much for that big cold air mass. at least we got some snow so far out of the pattern change.

Im really sick of this dark blue band over me for hours and nothing is falling in fact I see breaks in the clouds like wtf.

actually I love about of week of really cold why you may ask? It kills all the nasty bugs and we have less of them in the summer and overall I miss cold days as a grown up get under a blanket toasty with hot coco or some thicc soup like broc and cheddar or beef stew

now our artic airmass will only be here 2 days? highs in the low 20s for sundays snow but then shoot back up to the upper 30s to near 40 right after the storm? im getting tired of them since last year saying the artic air is coming and it never comes. I just want a week or so of a good cold push i dont want rain or ice out of no where cause its to warm.

so according to my local temp forecast we only now get 2 days of artic air? low 20s then it shoots all the way back to upper 30s to near 40?

Last time I actually looked was thursday night? what time now more like 4am?

the whole artic airmass being pushed back for 3 days in a row is annoying. it reminds me of last year when they kept saying artic airmass polar vortex to hit east coast next week. It never even happened. I think after the second week of jan we didnt hit below 32 for a high all winter.

Is this moving slower then models were saying? I swear it was showing snow at the PA MD line around 1 am

I still want to know where the artic air went. its like last year they just keep pushing it back more and more.

So can any one tell me what happen to the artic air? I kept hearing to much artic air and it will suppress the storm etc. Yesterday my high's for next week were all in the low 20s and lows in the low teens. now its low 40s for highs and upper 20s for lows? Yet the storm on some models is suppressed south? Why did the artic air not end up showing up now for next week? even sunday now is 43 when before it was 33.

it was snowing off and on since i went to work at 2pm but nothing layed until about 8pm and started snowing heavier got another 1 1/2 at work id guess. same amount at my house from the looks of it when i got home. Another band may move in sometime tonight

looks like the precip backfilled a bit direction is north to south mostly since this started about a 1 plus ago I picked up another .75

getting some moderate snow again wow

yeah dry air can be so strange for a storm why here and not over there kind of thing. yeah future radar builds it back but have been told future radar sucks pretty much. like earlier tonight it showed no dry slot or break in the precip at all till 1am.

Ive only ever seen this happen twice in my life. radar is dry but snowing hard. if id have to guess precip is about 20 miles away from me on the west side 15 miles north and 40 miles east.
