NYC crush job in progress. Good luck and congrats! Been a long time there.

Whats the chance of any of those bands making it over the Jersey border to Allentown, Pa?

1 1/2 inches just west of Allentown, Pa. Not blowing hard but snow is coming down sideways. Roads were treated but are covered.Viz

ibility some where around half mile.  Nice and steady. It's got that look of a good one.

Not even a flake here. Started as light rain for about 10 minutes and then turned to a mainly sleet mixture at the present.  31.5 degrees at 10:25 AM 4 miles west of Allentown, Pa.

Looks like night time with a blizzard going on. Every thing getting white in a hurry. Got to be gusts to 30 or maybe more. Visibility is about 500 feet. Just outside Allentown, Pa.

Light snow with a good dusting on ground and roofs. Some sticking on pavement. Just outside Allentown, Pa.

11F with a foot of snow on the ground at 7:17AM. Brings back good memories!

Snow picking up in intensity by the minute, and blowing sideways. 24 degrees, roads were instantly covered, even with treatment 15 minutes before the start, not counting yesterdays pre-brine treatment.

I would settle for Hazleton.  Nice elevation and always produces a couple inches more than places around there.

Should of mentioned it then, but last week we had a good frost on the golf course out back

Gotta love those longer shadows. Almost has a touch of autumn this morning!

Steady snow with large flakes. Sticking on lawns and bushes.  34 degrees.

Steady snow with big flakes. Some sticking on lawns and bushes.  34 degrees

more white rain than good solid snowflakes here. Not good at all, and I did expect more. Typical for this year around this area. I don,t really remembering it being this shitty. And if your 67 years old like me , you would know what I mean.  Can't seeing things getting better in the short term.

Best looking day 7 OP Euro 500mb forecast of the season. But the interaction between the two streams needs some work. It would probably require a well timed phase for a rain to wet snow scenario.
 

 

 

Compared to what we have seen this season, this will work for me! All hail the blind squirrel!!

Meh....why not? I mean, if we get our seasonal total from one fluke March storm that's a win right? Lol

That Steve, would actually save the winter for me, but it must come with those posted numbers. 28 inches for me I will take!!

It sure can. We could get 0 snow. I know statistics say next year should be better but that doesn't mean it will be. I thought last year was bad....I would have paid money to have a repeat 2018-19 if I knew 2019-20 would be this brutal.

Maybe - not saying, - but with a strong showing this year from the Artic Ice: best in 7 0r 6 years maybe we get our chances. Then all we need is some huge volcanos to erupt, and game on JK of course but the ice is going the right direction!

. Maybe that will do it.

Couldn't really find a thread this would apply to, and if there is please excuse me. Does he still give his great write-ups, and if he does, and I missed them, what were his thoughts going into the winter, and what we have left? Sorry again, if not the right thread but used to follow him and some other guru's when it was Eastern Weather. Thanks!

My bad, I thought you opened this thread regarding t-storm chances. Dont take it so personal man, I'm not challenging you. It just underperformed up this way. 

Albedoman - Let's relax OK?  Steve has been posting a long time and is quite educated when it comes to weather and other people will agree I'm sure. We all have our own thoughts on this fickle thing called weather, and everybodys thoughts matter. We don't want this site to go back to the way is was. Everybody has their own thoughts , and I'm sure there are great ideas to consider as possibilities. Lets hope for that1 big one guys!

about 1-2 hours of sometimes decent flurry activity. (8 to 9:30) Light whitening of roofs and the edge of the road  temp 31. As of now broken clouds and 34. Lets see what happens tonight!

Not sure if we have a weak trough moving through, but we have had extremely light snow grains and flurries for the last 2 hours. The important word being extremely, with a temp of 35. I'm about 5 miles west of Allentown, Pa. Hope this is the right Obs section to post in.  Maybe we luck out this weekend. We'll see!

17 here, outside Allentown.

Listen you guys, and a no you don,t want to hear from an old fart, but I don't think the pattern looks all that bad. It ain't gonna snow every 5 days. NOT Lately. But things are good or marginal and lets see what we get . This weekend is a good   example. I think guys like Steve and Paul have a pretty good watch for us : and their are others. (thank You)  Things could turn when models even don't predict it. Being born in the 50"s I always said weather always has a way to average itself out. Lets hope Feb is this years month. It could definitely happen! I've seen it before when you least expect it! Trust me, I am not ready to mow grass! Thanks guys!
