    Models seem to suggest we could score another couple inches Friday, which would seem to be our last opportunity for snow before the pattern flips next week, which I’m still hopeful is a transient return to warmth.

    PIT observed 2.2”, bringing us within 0.8” of normal through today’s date.

    I know, lol. I was just kidding.
  4. TimB
    Yeah, and since then we’ve had two notable snowstorm busts: 1/19/19 and last weekend. Those can be mentioned in the same breath, right?
  5. TimB
    Why is last week’s storm that came up just slightly short of what we wanted still the topic of conversation anyway?

    And a little perspective here: today clinched an above normal January for snowfall. We’re at 16.9” for the winter, normal through this date is 20.2”. To be at 85% of normal season to date snowfall is pretty solid given how horrific December was. It hasn’t been an epic January, but it’s been a good to great January that checked more of the boxes than it didn’t.

    Jesus, this thread today is virtually unreadable. All I wanted to know was how this clipper worked out while I’m out of town and it looks like this went from basically a non-event when I left on Friday to a solid clipper putting down a couple to maybe a few inches. It’s hard to see how something like this would “bust” unless the ground truth ended up being a coating or something in that range, which it didn’t.

    Temp has officially made it to 20 at PIT, the 1053rd consecutive day of 20 or higher. Previous record was 741.

    Things seem to have moved away from locking in the really cold air next weekend to possibly putting us in a better pattern for snow.
  10. TimB
    The EC suggests it could be that same region, and throws the good stuff our way as it finally ejects north.

    Euro seems to be all about the cold next week. It’s been very consistent in that regard. Not “last panel of the Ukie” cold but plenty cold enough.
  12. TimB
    I’m not holding my breath on this one, it’s over a week out. If I had to bet, there will be a good snowfall somewhere, but it really could be anywhere if it does happen.
  13. TimB
    If it played out that way, that’s a scenario where I would use the word “biblical.”
  14. TimB
    Comes north for you guys. I’m not in the game this run.
  15. TimB
    Look at that beast on the 12z GFS. Two feet of snow along the GA/SC line.
  16. TimB
    PIT even observed a few flakes around the 6:00 hour.

    I noted this in Western PA, but a reminder from a year ago:

    Interesting how much the overnight cloud cover was under-forecast. NWS had a forecast low of 4 but it looks like PIT never reached single digits. Edit: I spoke too soon. Looks like the 8:10 obs was 9.
  19. TimB
    Would be hard to bet on 2 cold months in a row but I’d settle for an up and down February with storm chances.

    GFS looks fantastic if you ask me. Some clippers and it kicks the can on the pattern change.
  21. TimB
    Yep. The ones for our area released with two weeks lead for Dec and Jan were equally bad. The December one had us in the “equal chances” area, and the January one had us above normal.

    I feel like the CPC can issue a map that looks like this every month and be right more often than not: Then again, they issued this one at the same time last year:
  23. TimB
    I mean, if we do end up with two crappy winter months and one decent to good one, I’m glad it was January.
  24. TimB
    Nothing noteworthy for the first two systems on the Euro. Sunday system is weak, Tuesday system slides too far north for anything impactful.
  25. TimB
    On the positive side, GFS and CMC both give us at least an inch on Sunday and a couple to a few inches from the early week system.
