Pivotal Weather has a Kuchera map too that is pretty easy to read.
-
Look at that nudge north with the gradient over Schuylkill County. WTF is up with that???
-
I listed to the NOAA weather radio in the truck coming up 83 tonight. The extended forecast was quite wintry for the LSV. Snow and mixed precip with temps only as high as the low 30's during the storm. In their hazardous outlook, they said watches would likely be hoisted within the next 48 hours.
-
This is EXACTLY how I would grade storms. I've never seen a 30+ inch storm (in my backyard anyway) so that would be historic. The over 40 biblical designation is spot on, too, as even in the biggest of storms, our region just doesn't (save one or two locations) ever really hit that number. As for me, 26 inches is the most I've seen from one storm.

I literally laughed out loud in the truck. Thanks guys!
-
Must. Get. To. Phoenix. lol... I doubt I can, but I sure do wish I could escape this.
-
Nothing here yet. Not that I was expecting, nor hoping for any.
-
Sunny and 34 here. Hope it stays this way here, and all of you down there cash in nicely! I can't think of a better storm scenario for me...
-
Yes it can. We've had 24 hours of "pixie dust" up here in Tamaqua that, when all was said and done, was about 1-2 inches. The snow that day was equivelent to a light drizzle, both in intensity and visual impairment.
-
lol... The cold seems to follow me around the country, so who knows. Last spring it was the same way. every time I went west a cold storm would come in off the Pacific within a day of my arrival.
-
Yikes. That's why winter and me don't get along so well ..
-
You all can thank me for bringing it back east from the southwest. I hit snow in El Paso, had frost and mid 20s temps in the Fresno area, single digits temps from Flagstaff AZ to Gallup NM, and finally more snow in Oklahoma City. Now that I'm home, it's gonna get cold here now...lol
-
I was just going to ask if that line was putting anything down.
-
I guess. I think I'd rather have a rockin Jan/Feb with a transitional March, though. Then on to full spring weather. Once we flip back to Daylight Savings I start to get spring fever.
-
After reading the past few pages of this thread, I think a 2 month visit with my mom in Phoenix is in order. What April flip, though? I missed where that was posted.
-
Great, another backloaded winter...
-
Very few places where I can enjoy trucking if that map verifies...
-
Snow levels have been crazy low since this past weekend. I hit snow in El Paso on Saturday morning, and yesterday Tucson had a half inch at the airport. I'm actually heading back east in the big truck. I'll be hot on the heels of the Oklahoma storm Friday morning.
-
Your cold air is out in Flagstaff, AZ where I'm spending the night tonight. Currently +5 degrees here...
-
I'm out in California right now, and can't see my signature, but I recorded 73 and change as of December 26. According to the USGS gauge, we got a little over 2" since I've been gone, so I figure that I ended 2018 at close to 76 inches for the year. Provided that it doesn't rain or snow before I get home, I'll be able to get an exact figure.

MO/KS/AR/OK 2019-2020 Winter Wonderland Discussion
Voyager replied to JoMo's topic in Central/Western States
Aren't we kind of getting into the better range for the mesos over the globals, though? If we are than that would give the edge to the NAM. I'm watching this closely as I'm a trucker heading back east from California in the time frame for the storm. I usually run 40 to 44 to 70, but if it's going to be bad in Oklahoma, I may just head right on up to 70 and go through Colorado and Kansas. -
New Year's greetings to my Central PA friends from a rather cold Hesperia, CA where the temperature right now (7:30 pst) is 32 with a wind chill of 26. I've got to tell you that dry, desert cold feels colder than our damp cold back east...lol.
-
So my plan to drop down to I-10 to avoid the snow might just be a fail. The cold air made it much farther south, and now the NWS is predicting 1-4 inches along the whole I-10 corridor from Sierra Blanca to Lordsburg.
-
My truck driving plan is to drop south to aviod the mess that I-40 will be, and now it looks like I-10 will get in on "some" of the activities as well. NWS El Paso says perhaps up to 2 inches in the lowlands... Ugh...
-
Thanks guys! I'll be monitoring this thread (along with the models and the NWS) for your thoughts and analysis.
