It dates back pretty far, I’d say Jonny Depp?

The wife has mentioned one of her true bucket list items includes seeing the pyramids and going to Egypt. 2027, the max eclipse (totality is 6+ mins) is over Luxor, Egypt. That one is already in our plans

Sadly didn't make it to Ohio since the weather was unclear heading in and driving 3 kids 5+ hours was a tough idea. Going to see 93% here in SCPA so should be a good experience nonetheless...maybe even get a little darker.

Probably 2” now at pen mar @Bubbler86

Snowing so hard liberty’s lights are gone from the back yard

That last squall did the job on covering the grass and deck really well.

SN+ moved back in now IMBY

Snowing here again now. Pretty fun day. The squall that came through earlier this afternoon when we were grabbing dunkin in the boro was sweet. Drove back through Blue ridge summit and got to enjoy it twice.

I need a fort Ritchie/pen mar pic. Awesome, nice squall that covered a lot of things here passed through a bit ago

The band up in NC PA streaming through just north of Lock Haven is impressive. SSW issued and honestly some training there, can imagine localized couple inch totals will come in there.

Heavy snow in Carroll Valley, actually getting accumulation on grass and deck at the moment. 33

That was some very very heavy snow in Carroll valley for 20 or so minutes, vis was down to near 0 with gusty winds. Grass has some coverings along with the cars. Sun back out now. Let’s see if we can get one from the NW in a bit.

Need to experience this once in my life, 10 feet there? wonder the frequency of a storm like this. Can someone pull the books? @psuhoffman

It might be blowing greater than that here right now.

@Bubbler86 do you happen to have the asos link for ravenrock? I used to get those readings a few years ago and we just had a crazy gust across the road in Carroll Valley.

Great discussion above, the PDO seems to really be more a driving factor than it has been before. The “base state” comments really have merit given the Pacific just spoiling our chances more than once at a big dog pattern with staying power. I need to do more digging into the QBO to see if that has some pertinence since our longer term telecomms seem to be the bigger factor. Things like the MJO seem to mean a fair bit less than they used to. also on a side note, why so much effort to move posts from thread to thread? This is a free forum and it’s volunteer work to be a mod. I salute the dedication, but seems like there are more important things in life than moving posts from thread to thread. There’s no weather going on currently.

I had posted along with many Mets yesterday, and in the days leading up to this, if you’re in an area where the fronto is optimal, coupled with being in the right area for 850s, the ratios would be awfully high. Small pat on the back since that was spot on.

Yeah we just added .2 as well

It sucks to see it close by, esp for the northern folks that were only 30-40 miles south of it, but I can’t complain too much with a 6.25” and a 3” in the same week.

Great pics, it’s time to make the next storm happen. Shame modeling showed a nice back down last minute, but it’s been a big time IMBY sport this winter. I’m at 23” for the season which is one of the better #’s overall I believe, and 2 storms with 6”. Need a region wide hit sometime.

Just under 3”, nice scene out there. Maybe we can will the late week event into something solid?

3” here, beautiful morning. What could have been, but in reality the FGEN band even over our area would have had big winners but big losers in the subsidence zone.

Friday definitely has potential. If we get rain in a 986 off ORF the week of PD, that says a lot… maybe we will this one in
