18z gfs/gefs/eps for early January has left me flabbergasted 

You cannot hate that run for sure! 

Everyone get your drink on and sober up beginning Wednesday. Gonna be lots of model watching soon! 

Merry Christmas to all! 

Could be interesting tracking come this weekend.  I'll await your weenie tags.

Big dog hunting is official now that Ralph has told us to bukcle up. 

Flakes flying in West Chester 28F 

Noine degrees in Exton this morning.  WWA hoisted for Chester County tomorrow morning according to channel 6. 

Deep breaths...

It's just one run of the Euro... It's just one run of the Euro... It's just one run of the Euro...

I have a feeling you are right.

We have been down this road of unicorn patterns at day 12+ repeatedly past 8-10 years. Many never panned out and several that did we ended with nothing to show. I'm cautiously optimistic. Certainly not buying into the 2014. 2009,and Jan 1996 talk going on. 

We got the next two weeks of roller coaster temps, then we can begin to look at the long range. 

The question is do we "buckle up"?

I have said it a lot here…
But I am rooting for a Jan 6-8, 1996 redux.
And it just might happen.

NO FEBRUARY 2024 BUST AHHHHH.

Everyone on this board has been rooting for a Jan 6-8 1996 redux since Jan 9th 1996.

Just last February 2024....heavy wet snow.....did you miss that one???

I do remember it now. Had to look it up.  Fell overnight I think cause I went to work and the lot was already plowed.

Huh? did you miss the 5" to 11" of snow across Chester County last February 13th??

This last February, or in 23? I don't remember either. 

Seen more snow today than in the last 2 years! 32 and covering the outdoor tabletop.

Man—the tension I’ve seen throughout this whole website is wild. Getting an area-wide 1-3” of snow would be the equivalent of achieving world peace.

Well it now appears Christmas day will be brown. NO major snow event anywhere on the models for our area for and after Christmas and in fact after Christmas we get torched. Rain I will take but this crap of having  freeze your balls off temps with no snow pack is utterly ridiculous. So many years of this stupid weather pattern is got to end soon. The snow producing storm events never  matches up with the deep cold anymore as the deep cold air sticks around only for a few days . We are always on the frozen/liqid  precip line too as a result.   If we would have had a decent snowpack this weekend, we would have been  below zero for overnight lows. I aslo do not know which is worse, the snow drought or rain drought? LOL  I am sorry but with my 50+ years of weather history  experience, I am realizing that  the only way to break this shitty snow producing weather pattern will be a severe ice storm with a real deep and strong cold snap from repeated passing clippers  every 2-3 days- kinda like 94. LOL. 

1994 was probably the worst winter I ever experienced. I'll never forget  19 degrees and heavy rain. LOL  Skating rinks for weeks.  I remember seeing the salt trucks going backwards for miles cause they had no traction to drive forward to lay salt down. 

One good thing was my Dad worked for the electric company. Our power was only off for a few hours, and we had a pretty nice vacation that summer. lol. 

Had some sleet at the start last night which quickly turned to rain in Exton. 

Long range has some mood flakes Saturday while all the local Fire Departments make thier santa runs. 

Fantasy land looks like we keep a side eye on NYE, but even that doesn't look promising this far out.

18z GFS is an acceptable solution

 

We take...

Interesting run on the 12z. Would certainly avoid Torchmas this year.

Really not a fan of 93-94. We may have gotten a lot of record cold, but it really isn't a snowy pattern. Lots of mixed precip/ice with the baroclinic boundary more inland.

Only good thing about the 94 ice storm was that my dad worked for the electric company.  We had one hell of a summer vacation that year! 

Come 20 miles west and it's a Festivus miracle!

Euro trying to give us a Festivus miracle. GFS says nope! 

Wet roads here in West Chester 37 degrees.

That lake effect storm is just nuts. Some models are showing it affecting the Bills game tomorrow night. Would love another snow game.

Talking about postponing it.  No reason to have it if no one can get to the stadium.
