    The other thing I’ll add regarding that stat is we also had a 20+ day streak of continuous 3” snowpack last year, and it looks like the only other time this has happened in consecutive years was 1977-1979, which of course are pretty much the gold standard for pack retention in our area. Also, even more mood flakes today after the sunny start. Regardless of what happens from here on out, this will not be a winterless winter by any measure.

    Their official snow depth this morning was 5”, not their official total from this storm. At least that’s my interpretation of their post. Still, 19 days (20 including today) with 3” snow pack is indeed impressive.
  3. TimB
    Official total at PIT was 3” yesterday plus 0.3” before midnight Thursday night. Not bad. Might need days like yesterday to pad the stats, Euro torches us into the 50s with next weekend’s system.

    Still getting good snow and big flakes. A great winter day.

    Fact of the matter is it almost feels like December when a pattern change that took forever to come was teased for weeks. We’re now in the cold phase of that same scenario.

    Oh yeah, there have been operational GFS runs with ridiculous totals over the time period and most of them exceed climo and get to double digits. I’m not expecting we get 2 feet of snow over the next 2 weeks but it’s definitely not a shutout pattern unless we have rotten luck.
  7. TimB
    I like the thought, and I absolutely think we’ll get our chances, but to be fair, climo for this time period is 6.7”, so I would hope there’s a near certainty that we get at least 3”, especially considering that a 12z map would include what was modeled for this morning after daybreak.

    I’ll move this discussion here, but let’s just say prior to the MLK storm he had used the word “bust” in 8 posts spanning 8 years. Since the MLK storm, he’s used the word in 24 posts spanning less than 3 weeks.

    Would you be enjoying it more if you lived in Youngstown?

    Probably belongs in the complaint thread but maybe he was just making a suggestion because he cares about your happiness.
  11. TimB
    That one wasn’t you, I was the one who watched the hole in the radar advance on us then promptly fill in.
  12. TimB
    The MLK storm may have been a bust but this wasn’t.
  13. TimB
    And three weeks of snowpack, which I’d like to see the east coast try to do.
  14. TimB
    True. We had to overcome a similar departure through Jan 3 before getting to -5.2 for the month.
  15. TimB
    That would only take a -3.8 departure to beat last year, which is to date the only February since 2015 not to be at least +2. Being +6.7 for the first three days of a short month might make that extremely difficult, however.

    That’s largely what I’m seeing. CMCE and GEFS have us in the blue for most of their runs late next week and beyond. And the bitter, extreme cold some of the models showed may have moderated, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I got my highs in the teens and lows below zero this year so I’m happy.

    Snow has resumed here. Radar looks good for a quick minor accumulation.
  18. TimB
    I suppose low 40s isn’t exactly a torch in almost mid-February, it’s pretty seasonable with the rapidly rising normals.
  19. TimB
    12/19/22, here we come. Barring a consolation 1.5” in late April. I’m kidding. Ensembles are still showing a cold-ish February and operational models still show threats here and there.
  20. TimB
    What’s the job market like in Youngstown? Oh wait, I know the answer to that.
  21. TimB
    Awful luck is our climo.
  22. TimB
    And we have a few more days of snowpack to enjoy before temps blast back up near 40 on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday.
  23. TimB
    That’s just climo around here. The radar was completely filled in for hours and hours yesterday when it was 33 degrees, now we perfectly catch the hole in the radar when we have a chance at anything good.
  24. TimB
    Is it just me, or do I not really see any more precip behind this band that is set to cross the immediate Pittsburgh area, and precip will wrap up soon?
  25. TimB
    NWS recorded a total of 0.28” of ice accretion just before midnight so the warning seems to have panned out. A bit of ice and sleet and maybe a half inch of snow here.
