Para and ukmet have some snow with the wave next weekend. Para has a big storm day 10.

My uncle lives in Shenandoah Junction. Right behind the High and Middle Schools.

If this is what the rest of winter looks like Gefs extended euro weeklies

I’ve come to realize I like the day after a big storm more. I like the scenery of snow on the ground but I’m not a huge fan of it hitting me in the face. Don’t get me wrong it’s awesome when it’s puking snow and piling up. But my favorite part is taking a walk when it’s nice out and there is snow otg.

Been busy. A lot going on at work. I did get out with the kids for a couple hours.

The NAO is likely to reload again after that imo. The TPV is still a weak POS so the next wave break will just start the whole cycle again.

It’s provably becoming true even more so with warmer ocean SSTs. We need those to cool to stop flooding the mid latitudes with warmth. But it certainly happened in the past also. 1958 and 1960 has blocking all winter but it wasn’t until February/March that we cashed in.

Told ya that southeast ridge would be suppressed if the -epo/NAO combo was real. It’s REALLY hard for us to be warm with that combo in February

What’s your total. My original 5-10” call looks better now that part 2 decided to perform.

Hope that dryslot in SE PA NE MD fills in

That band has arrived and it’s LEGIT!

I remember many many years ago seeing some correlation chart that showed temperature correlations by winter weeks for the major indices. And that I thought oddly the NAO didn’t correlate nearly as much as I expected...UNTIL late January or February then it was like the god of indicators. I’ll have to remind myself of that next time we’re warm during a -NAO early in the season.

Can we get that into NE Carroll pwease

I’m hopeful when that band gets here is when the steady heavy starts here. Got a quick .75” with that nice band an hour ago but it keeps varying and going back to light snow. That band rolling out of York PA now coincides with the arrival of the best deep moisture feed at the mid levels around the deepening (finally phased at all levels) low. The stuff we’ve been in so far had to deal with the pockets of dry air left over from being in the extended SW flow ahead of the stalled h7 before it made the transfer and phased. Shame we didn’t get the euro idea from 3 days ago where the mid and upper lows just amplified right through with no stall and jump. The secondary would have been captured further south and we would be getting what SE PA is.

@WxWatcher007 just tell me who I have to sacrifice to lock this in. Whoever it is I’ll give you a 10 minute head start...then no mercy!

They are in the dead zone under the h7/85 lows. The best moisture feed is north of them then rotating south to their west.

Looks like the pivot point at the base of the h7 low to me

No that actually makes perfect sense. And it’s true. You can see on radar the trajectory pivot and I am mixing with huge flakes now as soon as the banding started to pivot from PA. The moisture feed we’re seeing is being driven by the h7 low and my suspicion is the nasty warm layer that is obviously above 850 is being prevented from mixing by that easterly flow at 700 mb. As that pivots out of the north you will flip quick imo.

Still sleeting here. Good luck with that. Lol. There must be a warm layer above 850.

I got 4.7 but it’s compacted down to about 4.2 from the sleet now. But I’ll take the sleet will help us hold snowcover if we get a warm day.

That storm had a crazy gradient through MD similar to what some models show now. Hanover just north of the PA line had 15” while Westminster only had 7”.

I’ve been stuck in that dryslot for the last 2 hours.

It improved the wrap around across the area tomorrow. This would be snow after 12z tomorrow 10-1 map. Ratios would probably be better. It’s not huge but first improvement in a while with that. I’ve been looking for signs the ccb will activate better. The mid level low to our west seems slightly south of progs and the flow is pretty decent to get moisture transport into the area.
