    Have you experienced a dust storm yet? It's on my bucket list...they seem pretty intense.

    Cloudy/36F

     

     

    Yes. One last summer, and many when I previously lived here from 96-01. The big ones are quite an experience.

    Most humans would have no idea, people in Philly would think it is some kind of scrapple.

     

    Surprisingly, more people here in Phoenix probably know what graupel is, simply because when do manage to get anything frozen out of the sky in winter, it's almost always graupel.

    Out this way, since we are constantly battling the primary driving up into our area, it isn’t true. Our best systems are where we are nowhere near the mixing line and we’re the primary transfers in time ti keep us snow but to also have the secondary shoot back bands of CCB from the coast 

    Yeah, depending region you're probably right. My home in Tamaqua though, we'd get our heaviest burst just before changing over. When I'd see the flake size grow and it would be dumping mad dendrites, I'd tell my wife it was about to flip...and it almost always did.

    Said it the other day…Gotta smell the rain for the best snows.

    NAM looked way too paltry based on a ton of other guidance, but it has been locked once or twice before. signals been strong for too long. 
     

    The words “toss it” come to mind (even if it knows something the rest don’t). That fits my feelings better for now. 

    Almost everytime I "smelled the rain", within the hour it was indeed raining. Living that close to the changeover can be a real nailbiter. For the lucky few who never see the change, the reward is worth it, though.

    You should probably read more and post less

    Maybe you should stay out of our thread. Most of us get along quite well and don't mind the off topic (and sometimes off color) banter. We're all friends here, and every one of the regular, long term posters are well respected.

    and like so many times in the past, that blue dot between the 4.9 is right over my house.  Some things never change....hehe (not for a second do I really care or worry about it) - just funny how models consistently do that for Lanco.  It's like they troll me.

    I can relate to the snow hole as models always predicted a lower total "horseshoe" around Tamaqua no matter which way the storm was coming.

  7. CTP seems fairly confident for a storm nearly a week away. Of course this is subject to change, but seeing likely and 70% chance this far out is intriguing. 

    For Tamaqua:

    Saturday Night
    Snow likely. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 27. Chance of precipitation is 70%.
    Sunday
    A chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 34. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

    This is the 7th not the 8th.  Plus temps are still not overly cold.  Snowing in the MA (MD, N VA) but 2M temps are above freezing for some of them.    Philly near 32, LSV 25-30 during the height of the snow. 

    25 to 30 are perfect snow temps. Cold enough to accumulate, but not to cold to go out and enjoy it.

    Seems like the models just want to keep pushing the heart of winter back. Should we be thinking of getting the punting team back out on the field on 1st down?

    I'm telling you, winter won't return to PA until I do. Wherever I am, there too shall the cold be. Look at last year. Coolest and wettest winter in the southwest in over a decade. 

    And back when I was trucking coast to coast, whatever side of the country I was at was where a trough had set up. When I was in California you were warm and dry and I was cold and rainy/snowy. Then, when I was home, the west was warm and dry, and PA was cold and rainy/snowy.

    Mother Nature hates me...

    :lol:

    6z GFS looks cold enough for snow from NYE onward with a few storms that miss to our southeast this run.

    I’d much rather see this than seeing storms heading for the Great Lakes.

    Again, we should have our chances.

    I agree with you. Suppressed storms can and do trend west and slam the region. Cutters never seem to trend east. One they cut, they never seem to come back.
