Hi! Good to hear from you.

Please chime in when you get the chance. We would love to have your insights.

Let’s see - don’t think this is the same storm at 1/15, but don’t be shocked if we get another one of those H7 fronto bands setting up further north than progged. Could be over the LSV somewhere. May get a surprise in there. 
 

Also, I really like the 2/15-2/22 timeframe.

Your coverage/reports/forecasts on WGAL for the January 2016 storm were epic. I think they're still on the station's YouTube page.

That storm was insane. I’ll never forget storm taking shape and the CCB aiming right into SC PA and thinking “man, someone is going to top 3’ from this”. But of course you have to be measured and conservative on air for hours, so it wasn’t until we had reports over 2’ ground truth that we started to verbalize the monstrous historic nature of the storm.

I think AllWeather's name is Matt.

Yes sir. I’m in real estate now and loving it, but my wife still asks for forecasts so I stay plugged in every day.

I miss the old WGAL part time Met that used to post on here. I think he got out of the business a few years ago. He knew his stuff, but was friendly with us hobbyists.

Oh, hey! Used to be full-timer here. Glad I’m out - TV is a rough business. Super happy now and lurking often!

He deserves the reddest of tags. Pete is an amazing meteorolgist and one of the primary Winter Desk forecasters at WPC. I went to school with Pete. Great guys and very knowledgeable. This is the type of work that is done when looking at the big picture. It’s not just hemming and hawing over every single deterministic output. Yes, it’s great to look at, but parsing the details on the why is why we love what we do. I’ve been utilizing Cluster Analysis via DESI v3.2 which I unfortunately can’t share and trying to see the behavior of ensembles and potential outcomes. Pete broke down the primary features and some sneaky elements that could very easily sway the forecast. 
 
I hope people get a lot out of the information provided. It’s one of the ways I learned about how things work in the synoptic world when it comes to Winter Systems. Years of just reading on here from previous Red taggers and knowledgeable posters. Been a great experience with a ton of laughs in the mix. Hopefully we can bring this one home! 

You should have a redder tag.

Wind driven sleet in Manheim at 6:35

This is brutal (seasonal snowfall). Came without a legend, but I think we can all fill in the blanks 

Down with COVID and living vicariously through our NE friends. At least I get to look at a dusting in quarantine! 

Nice dendrites out of these light returns. Good for a coating. Nice surprise!

Here comes Tuesday:

I can't wait to be disappointed again. 

Seems like a certain storm chasing group has disabled their page on Facebook. 

2” still pouring snow in Manheim. Occasional sleet mixing in.

Thanks.  Not sure if I consider that a full close off despite that small area in the middle.  Maybe someone who knows more than me could opine as usually a close off is a little more clean.  Larger, more circular.  

It’s technically closed off as the height lines do form a (very) small circle.

Nam... because it's the 1st 0z to come out lol

Look at all that cold air

Amazed at the GFS sniffing two events out before the Euro. Props.

Yeah there was a little "debate" this morning about going from boring to boom in a rather short period.  .

Dont waste your time looking....just boys being boys....

Thankfully the nooners helped to fix things a bit.

Ha I saw. I lurk in the shadows a lot (and I bought a new phone since last year so just now signed in).

Hey Matt....Good do see you.  Always a good sign when folks like you are stopping in.  You liking where were at?  Nooners came in pretty close for 144 hrs out.  

Love the ensembles coming around, but there has been SO MUCH SHIFTING in the short-term though of just our boring pattern for the next few days, so I follow the ensembles to see where the real trends lie. Being in the bullseye 140+ hours out though in this shifting pattern tends to lose confidence, so we'll see. Good to see a true Miller A though...it feels like it has been a while. 

Well, damn. Glad I bought that new snow blower. 

Hope you all are doing well!

15” storm total in Manheim, and still going moderately. 

As a whole, this is one of my favorite storms. 3 days of snow falling is fun. 

13” in Manheim, Lanc Co as of the last measure. 

Closing in on a foot in Manheim, Lanc Co. 

and still puking, meteorologically speaking. 

I’m surprised at the expanse of sleet in the Philly area. That LLJ must really be cranking. 

Puking gigantic snowflakes in Manheim. Wow.

I'll be over w/ snowmobiles tomorrow and show you how to play in this stuff....and not forecast it!!

and I'd say about 5"ish here in Akron.  Gonna measure tomorrow early and see what we get after the rakage ensues tomorrow.

Haha bring it! We back to a farm and it’s usually snowmobiles 24/7 when it snows.
