Saturday looks like once again we won’t know until late in the game whether it’s an advisory level event or not. ill say this, I have places to be Saturday morning. I really don’t want a 1-2 event that just annoys me.

Congrats guys. Those a brutal miss for us

I think this winter is done for us

Maybe I’m just misremembering but I don’t remember some of these absolutely wild swings within 48 hours. I mean I remember the gradual bleeds north on the models but I can’t remember a storm just up and shifting 100’s of miles over two runs two days out

I mean, it wasn’t. But it’s still frustrating that we went from being rain and too far south to twelve hours later the models showing us too far north lol.

But man we are cursed here. We went from being 50 miles too far south to 50-100 miles too far north in like 3 runs

I’d rather this than a 2 inch storm that makes my commute a nightmare honestly

It would be pretty typical though if somehow this slid south of us

I haven’t been posting on purpose, mainly because I think if we get anything from this it’s a bonus. Looks like we could get half a foot or nothing.

Well, this list certainly lends credence to the idea cold periods are less sustained, even if extremes are still there. the fact ten of these are this century, one is in 1999, and four of the top 5 are in the last ten years really is pretty eye opening.

Dude, just stop your trolling. The fact is that every time we are modeled for a pattern change or a window for a big storm it does materialize. Sure we had a couple smaller events over the last few weeks but that period was heavily hyped for a big storm that never came. Then the pattern was expected to flip next week yet that has disappeared. You don’t need to tell someone every single time they post something that isn’t rosy to stop posting it.

Don’t read the maps then. Honestly you attacking anyone posting anything is really really old.

lol. We have a poster in our thread that goes crazy every time we top out at 89

Won’t it be great. Probably no snow and then hit April and weather is exactly the same as January!

Hey at least you have that. Outside of a few areas in the metro here that got raked by a lake band, Pittsburgh is on two straight years not even verifying an advisory event. I would estimate IMBYi have maybe 9 inches for the year.

I’m also not going to lie, took the train to New York yesterday and the fact I could see snow piles all through to the nw Philly burbs and even in to Philly told me they got a lot more snow than we did. I asked on the cpa thread and someone there got 18.5 over two weeks. I know some of you cashed in on that lake band but for the rest of us we might ge sitting under 10 inches for the year

Shouldn’t be shocked. This happened constantly last winter.

We are running out of time very fast

How much did some of you get in the last few weeks? I’m on the train from Pittsburgh to nyc and I’m pretty shocked I’m still seeing snow piles in lots. I’m in Paoli now and still seeing it.

Please keep posting these. It’s extremely relevant

The clipper one is fascinating to me and I’d love to hear a met’s take on why we don’t see those? Maybe @MAG5035 could elaborate?

If someone wants to post date to prove me wrong, feel free. Where the changes really feel different are a couple places. one, there is still cold and snow but not quite as many extended cold snaps. Snow cover over a longer period seems less. there also seems to be a change in the types of systems we get. I’d love to know what happened to clippers. I remember we used to get a couple 1-3 or 2-4 type clippers a year and I don’t feel we have in 10 years. The lakes definitely did not used to be open for LES al year. They used to freeze in January cutting off LES. That change seems almost undeniable. I mentioned this to Tim, it doesn’t seem we set up for front end events anymore. Those events we used to go from snow, to ice, then possibly rain seem gone. It always seems to be we are simply riding a kid or snow line immediately. I can’t remember the last time we got a miller b with mixing issues but still a good front end 2-4 inch type thump.

But I also think it is relevant. I don’t think you can argue that winters have been overall warmer. You also can’t argue that the lakes used to regularly shut off for LES by January as they froze but really don’t anymore. We hadn’t had a true Alberta clipper in years here. I don’t know how all these things tie together, but they are very relevant to our local discussion

I know. The response to what is a meteorological fact, which we discuss on here, was way over the top and shows how unfortunately politicized science has become

It’s amazing how triggered some of you get at any hint of climate change talk
