I've been trying to stay off the hype train for this storm since I was burnt by decembers storm when they called 18-20 inches here and we only got 8. It was still nice but I'm very hesitant buying into any of the really high totals yet. Hoping euro still holds steady. My expectations right now is maybe a foot of snow at most. Anything more than that and it's a plus

Crazy video. they haven't had a snowstorm this big in 50 years. i always forget places like that don't have systems in place to handle such a heavy and huge amount of snow so the city basically becomes paralyzed. Good luck getting to a hospital or anywhere in that lol

The warning at the top of the site is pretty cute But yeah this winter is looking pretty exciting snow wise. Especially after that record setting low snow year beforehand. Being above average this early on is looking good.

those couple hours of sleet really cut numbers but finally the sleet is gone and there's some huge flakes out there now

that band of heavy snow is setting up amazing

im surprised at how cold the temps are holding at some places. models kept showing it warming up gradually. by now it should have been 29 degrees but its still 25 degrees

i'd be fine with a foot of snow even if it doesn't hit us as hard. harrisburg hasn't had a storm in december that was bigger than 13.9 inches since its very tough to get a big storm like this this early in the season. most of the big stuff always happens in january and february

still blowing my mind we're going to get something this big in mid december

that would easily crush the 13.9 inch record for december in harrisburg. geez

uh oh for some reason i forgot all about dry slotting goddamnit lol

I took a look at the top 10 snowstorms on record and i can't find a single one that occurred around here in december. every single one was in january/february except for the march superstorm of 1993 which was kind of an anomaly in itself. there's potential to get close to that list or on it if we get 18 inches or more around harrisburg

here you go

wasn't expecting a severe thunderstorm warning ontop of the wind advisory. calling for 60mph here. that front really got its act together once it got to central

The outlook for this winter looks pretty mild. Obviously these things can be wrong and it just takes a lucky setup to give us a huge snowstorm but it's not looking great. Remember the 2011-2012 winter during our last huge la nina? I wouldn't be surprised if this current la nina does something like that either this winter or next winter. Depends how long and how strong it stays but right now it's making its way to being the strongest since the 2010-12 la nina

It's very unusual I'm up in PA and we've had 4 days where our record high temps have been completely smashed. It's been so warm this october and november that spring flower bulbs are coming back up again. It does look like we're going to see at least a few more systems this month and possibly even december. I mean 2005 did give us systems until early january...

Still blows my mind we had Laura and Delta hit within 15 miles of eachother in less than 2 months. If 2020 didn't already look apocalyptic enough for the people living there

in my eyes banging your other shin would be better because your shin already got hit and can only take so much damage before it can take no more. If Delta hits the same areas as a powerful storm I doubt they'll ever try to rebuild that area again. Kinda like how that one city in the late 1800's got hit by 2 powerful hurricanes within a decade and they just gave up and moved everything to "the old dirt town up the road" houston lol

lmao. Hey at least there's no one like ldub23 on that site lol

Those may snowshowers were something else. Over a week into May and I was driving in whiteout conditions and saw the mountains turn white

It's august 29th and we might be on the N and O named storms soon but guys...the atlantic is BOONNEE DRYYY

Naked swirl churning towards the coast to lash Louisiana... Kinda funny seeing all these sites acting like Marco is still some formidable tropical storm or hurricane when it's practically been decapitated

Then you would be failing to see or underselling the favorable atmospheric conditions that were developing over Hanna and over the western GOM. It just ran out of time to see that potential through. Yep Hanna was intensifying pretty quickly but ran out of water. Otherwise we could have been talking about a cat 2 or 3 potentially making landfall in the US in July. Hanna was very impressive and the wind speeds never caught up due to land interaction and lack of time.

It's august 12th and on average we only have 1-2 named storms by now. And not only that both the gfs and ecmwf have been horrible this year...how can you be annoyed we haven't had a major when we barely even have named storms at this time lmao obviously we've had a ton of named storms compared to average but there's a reason why many of them haven't taken off...because the environment is usually unfavorable hence the 1-2 average

I'm glad you'd rather people die. Good on you. If death comes for you and your family I bet you'll sing a different tune. You have to strike a balance. Look at Japan. They were able to keep stylists and other small businesses open but everyone wore masks and were considerate of not spreading it. If we all did this here we could keep everything open in a limited capacity. Same with South Korea. Even the EU countries have faired better than us in terms of limiting spread and opening things back up because there's not so much misinformation being spread in those countries to get their citizens killed. Currently I've had a fever off and on the past few days after seeing my sister who had a temp a week before after I talked with her. I haven't been sick in almost 2 years and it's been almost a decade since I've been sick in the summer. I also never get fevers. I just assumed it was something else the past few days but haven't felt right at all with my body temp going out of whack off and on. I feel better than feel sick again constantly. I got my car inspected yesterday and it was the first time I forgot to wear a mask around people in public that weren't people that live with me. So hope nothing bad happens to them. But yeah gonna get tested tomorrow so I'll let you guys know. My moms been coughing up a storm but refuses to get tested and thinks it's nothing serious lol. My sister is a big liar so I wouldn't be surprised if she lied about having it since she likes to give her daughter to my mom every weekend. Tons of history there I won't go into but my sister and her husband are pieces of shit. Reason why I think I got it from her? Spoke with her a ton not long after she had a temp herself and then a week later I started getting one. Seriously if I can't get myself cooled down in a tank top, pants off and air conditioning blaring at night then I'm going to suffer if it hits 100 twice this weekend lmao...well unless I get chills instead of hot flashes but I've been getting both back to back so eh...done ranting just sick of people thinking you can disregard human life unless it's someone they care about then it's different lol

I know two people in the area that have died to it. My cousins wife's parents both were on ventilators in april for a month. The father died because he wasn't getting better. Back in June my old coworker had a future in law that had to have both legs amputated, had multiple organs failing and she died because they waited too long to go to the hospital. She was only 40 and completely healthy. I also barely follow anyone on twitter and have seen multiple people I follow catching it and ending up sick. I'm sick of people saying this stuff. Anyyywayy...we might have a close run in to 100 on sunday possibly...the pool water at my parents place is scorching right now.
