.25" snowfall recorded here

Cartopper with some flakes still falling. 20F

Some of us also need to realize the SER is not going anywhere. Basic Nina climo. The key is when/if GL ridging/-epo/hudson bay pv displacement can squash the SER at times and allow for something to ride along the flattened gradient extending sw->ne. This isnt a big storm look necessarily (though always a chance) but a more Nina-esque way to pad our seasonal snowfall.

We cant figure out mid January now we r hanging hope on a 26-27 enso event?

There it is. One of, if not the more likely ways we could win this month. Not a monster storm look but would fit the Nina climo with a SWFE. Lets ride. Eta: -epo, neutral/slight -pna, split flow energy coming out of SW US, flattish SER, GL ridhing.

With the EPO going hard negative, not sure how much into positive territory we would want the PNA. The EPO look continues to get closer (ie we arent kicking that teleconnection...it appears real), so a negative pna could even work helping nudge the SER into a gradient zone in the Mid Atl with SW flow events tracking sw->ne along the boundary. Thats with a negative pna or maybe neutral. Strong +PNA with a robust -EPO runs the risk of being bitter cold and dry. Though we always run some sort of risk or another. In short, if the -EPO is real, which it does look to be, I will roll the dice with a slight - or neutral PNA rather than too much of a good thing. YMMV

His new year's resolution was to get more clicks.

Newest Hrrr now has a car topper for parts of SE PA tonight.

Temp went from 36F to 24F in 90 mins.

Just had a back edge squall move thru. We are at 1" now. Nice one!

RGEM and FV3 get another small batch of snow showers into SE PA overnight tonight. It just wants to snow this year.

.5" in 15 minutes. Nice rates with that one. Ringing in the New Year properly!

Wow! That escalated quickly.

Nothing yet in Ivyland. May have seen 1 stray flake in the spotlight. 32F

@RedSky we really do night snow very well. Is this considered a vampire squall?

Here it comes. Anyone else up?

Wishing all my home forum members the Happiest of New Years as the pixie dust flies!!!

Amazing! Happy New Year!

Vampire dust under the stars. What a sight to behold!

This too

We are a mother fucking snow town. There is zero denying this

Negative

I've enjoyed the first 2, have not had an opportunity to the the third. Cheers!

Happy New Year @Scraff and my other beer connoisseurs to my South!
