NaoPos Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Wow.. What I day. I needed sunblock and bug spray on the golf course shot a 94. Not bad for not playing in a month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattinpa Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 So what are the 850 temps today? Curious since the area is 60 degrees plus. Enjoying it, but glad the GFS and Euro are encouraging for colder weather and snow chances. I like winter to be winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grothar Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I was out in my backyard having a fire in my fire pit. The honey bees were out and about. Unbelievable, I have never seen a honey be in January. I have seen them as early as late February. Again, the squirrels are burying their nuts shallow- snow on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 0z Euro and GGEM get some light snow in the area Monday afternoon/evening. GFS/NAM say no, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattinpa Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 GGEM keeps an active storm pattern. We'll see what the Euro says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 GGEM keeps an active storm pattern. We'll see what the Euro says. Euro doesn't have the GFS storm at day 6 but keeps temps frigid after the rainstorm. Looks like an east-based -NAO develops by the end of the run, along with a +PNA and a possible 50/50 low coming into place. I'm not gonna stay up for the ensembles, but they should be interesting tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGorse Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 So what are the 850 temps today? Curious since the area is 60 degrees plus. The 850 mb temperatures yesterday were around +5C, however earlier in the morning there was a sharp but shallow inversion. At the top of this inversion (near 1,000 feet), the temperature was +15C. This combined with nearly full sunshine most of the day and deeper mixing allowed temperatures to soar into the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doylestown was running 40 and MPO was 43 while UKT and ABE were in the mid 20's...I figured the latter two were cold air pooling in the valleys but I haven't been able to pin down a reason on DYL being 15 degrees warmer...

I think that was a big reason why, as that low-level inversion was rather sharp. Also, some locations held onto some wind before daybreak. VAY was 45 degrees at one point with some wind while here at the office it was 34 degrees and no wind. I checked some aircraft soundings from PHL a few times during the course of the morning, and as the low-level inversion was eroding the surface temperatures jumped and started to even out. It sure made for a challenging temperature forecast for a time yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmorninglight Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Monarch butterflies reported in some of my friend's gardens yesterday. Must have been the product of a late hatch and chrysalis on the tropical milkweed plants that did not die back until the other morning when it was finally in the teens around here. There were dozens of people on the beach yesterday sunbathing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The American models are pretty far apart from the other models with tomorrow's light snow threat. Imagine if this was a 6+" storm? The forum would be going crazy with massive weenie suicides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outside temp was 38. Ten minutes later when I got on th WW bridge it was 52. I thought that it was strange. Reading this it now makes more sense.

The forum would be going crazy with massive weenie suicides. With low levels starting out above freezing and minimal QPF even on the models which show it... I'm kinda thinking an inch is the most that can be hoped for in most places. That's *NOT* a forecast, mind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Di Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Amazing the different things you see and the mushy ground as well. Next thing you know the groundhogs will be coming out early. But, will hope for a better end of Jan and Feb. Never liked LaNina winters as they usually result in a cool, wet, and long spring. The old man winter flag will not be displayed at my house this year. Just doesn't make sense right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timp Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I feel blessed to have gotten almost 12" during the October storm. This is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg ralls Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Thanks for the well-wishes about the new home! We don't have to actually be out of our apartment until February 22nd, so a big snowstorm on 2/4 wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. We can always schedule a new moving date.
