The Iceman Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I am just happy to see snow falling in this crappy pattern. Agreed...there was no cold air with this storm...my expectations were curbed to that alone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yup, saw the writing on the wall last night with this one. Good storm, wrong time. We'll probably wait until January for a serious threat now, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porsche Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Snow mixing now in Leola, 15 minutes outside of Lancaster, expecting maybe a coating. Still happy to see it snowing in a pretty poor pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Well guys with this failure I realized how much time I waste on the weather. Taking a long break from here and looking at anything weather related. Next time it is actually snowing i'll join with my obs. Till then see ya everyone. Sounds like me...but worse lol. Ya win some, ya lose some. In NCPA you get used to it...a pleasant numb feeling lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSU8315 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 A good reminder at how hard it is to get a good snowfall in a rain to snow situation, especially when there is no source of cold air to tap. That is, unless you live on a mountain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 You on 501 or 645/Pin Grove Road/Lookout Point? I was up on 645. Nasty mix here at home at 560', temp is 35.1°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckyplayer8 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I was up on 645. Nasty mix here at home at 560', temp is 35.1°. Yup. By that radio tower is pretty good area to get wind readings. Its where I took those pics from the Oct storm. So only a coating up there? Trying to decide if I want to wake up to go out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will probably manage at least an inch up top, should get another hour of decent snow at least. If only we could say the same here in the valley.

Wmsptwx Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 So...any other threats out there?? Or is it a post-christmas wait from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porsche Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 So...any other threats out there?? Or is it a post-christmas wait from here? From what I'm hearing probably not till Mid January at this point, AO and NAO not looking good, and the MJO is not doing much for us either.

PottercountyWXobserver Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 lol sounds like I beat some of you guys in snowfall, albeit at a lowly .1" At least I didn't take last place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Finally had a few minutes of all snow here around 11:45-50. I'd say this was a fairly typical rain to snow bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 How much snow ya workin on up there? I can't believe it took you till sometime around 7 or so to turn over there. If I had to guess, about three inches...yeah, it was a really slow cool down. Blah. At least we'll be white for a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm starting to think following weather is a sport, not a hobby! The past couple days really confirmed, we have an awesome group of posters in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxpatriot Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Epic bust for a lot of people, but then again we all knew this was a thread the needle set-up. Maybe something showing up on Dec. 14-15 on the models? Looks really iffy again, but at least it's a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckyplayer8 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Just proves how much you need to put in stock of climate/history/ typical meteorlogical knowledge. Nuetral NAO and no low level cold feed into the storm usually means 95% rain 5% snow unless you are well inland at an elevated position. Looking back at the mountain today, the first Blue Mountain has nadda. The second is very white....would say at least an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
