Honestly up here in the northern Mid-Atlantic in my winter weather outlooks I do not retool until January 20th each year that is my magic date. This year I was going for 20-35" in Central Delaware County in Extreme SE PA.
Yep, I have seen them gathering nuts at a feverish pitch.
How about the Commanders and Dallas game Sunday? Dallas might try to move the dam game lol, right?
Also, mother nature loves January 7th and 8th during football season when it comes to snow.
Dynamically speaking we have to rank March 13, 1993, somewhere I feel. Storm Surge on the Gulf Coast West Coast. Over a foot of snow down in Brimingham Alabama and 16" of snow followed by 5" of sleet and a rainbow at the end. That was an interesting storm it was like 56 degrees the day before and when it started snowing winds were NNE gusting to like 35 mph and it started snowing at 40 degrees.
Yea I was 9 years old and living in Philadelphia at the time the north side of the alley way had like 2" of snow down and the south side of the driveway had 5-7 feet of snow. We got 22.5". Yes, thunder and lightning with heavy snow with graupel mixed the wind was pretty significant too probably was gusting past 40 mph. After the storm left the next day, it was pretty warm.
0z This Guy will be back!!! I am telling you they know. They just gave some fodder to the GEFS for more confluence just waiting for the other flocks to leave up north.
too much flow off the Atlantic there is your warm tongue of air mucking up everything happens most times now. We need a NE or NNE wind vector to hold off the Atlantic think we are still sitting 50+ ACY south.
Yea huge improvements on the 18z GFS see if it holds going 0z and forward. Also has a monster storm on January 10th. I would say we have two threats one on the 7th and the 10th. The one on the 10th looks like the NAO is going from negative to positive both of these have my attention!! Let's watch!! The Geese know!! (I think that's going to be my snow call phrase, "The Geese know!!"
Ralph it is a wakeup call to Winter!!! It's coming!!! Get Ready!! Also, I saw my 7th flock of geese today flying due south! They know!!! Now with my rant earlier about warm ocean temperatures I suppose it is one of the necessary ingredients for our 20" snowstorms. I have a gut feeling we see one of these Biggies that gives us 20" just a gut even if it is only one of them.
