r-ville Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I am going to New Waterford OH, which is just south of Youngstown, for Xmas Eve. Missed two storms due to trips to my in-laws, so add that to the ensembles support. 12z GFS Hr 252 verbatim crushes OH with winter on Xmas Eve if I see this correctly. http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~gadomski/MRF_12z/mrfloop2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My inlaws are just south of Youngstown, which does pretty well with lake effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTWX Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Unfortunately I still don't have time to post any images, but things are coming together A BIT for some kind of cyclogenesis along the east coast on the 23rd or 24th. The Euro Ens have been hinting at it, the OP Euro is now showing something in the southeastern US at 240. The GFS ensembles have some decent hitters moving up the coast that weekend as well. The PNA takes a bit of a jump for the end of the month, and the NAO is TRYING to return to a more-neutral state. We will most likely have BL issues (again), but that's the least of our worries right now. Either way, lake effect should kick in for the first time behind the storm on the 24th or 25th. I posted yesterday in the main forum about a possible ssw event. Today's GFS 240hr 10mb temps continue to warm along the north pole and Alaska: This is a wait and see item.If this were to come to fruition, we would head into a much colder pattern toward New Years and beyond with some blocking finally showing up.

sauss06 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 exactly 10 degrees warmer this am from yesterday same time. Was 30 when i left the house for work. looking at the GFS, rain maybe a lil snow mix Sunday / Monday? Also looks like the temps drop next week after being in the high 40's and maybe 50 on Friday.

MAG5035 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 it's really windy out this evening by the way. When I was in Altoona a bit ago the highway dept was starting to clear a large tree that fell onto a side street and 6th ave. required dodging a couple trash cans.

MAG5035 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Tonights Canadian throws all kinds of haymakers next week. What appears to be a light snowfall to start off the week being in between a brief reinforcing cold shot and the developing system in the south. That system then cuts thru the lower lakes on Wednesday winding up and getting the lake effect going in the wake of it. And last but def not least, the storm that has been consistently showing up the last few days on here and the GFS starts on the NC coast and comes ashore up in SNE for Christmas eve and day. Pretty robust with that low and would throw some respectable snow into a good portion of C-PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I really hope the Christmas storm materializes for the area. But at the same time, I do hope it is not more than a few inches as I am on 24 hour on call from the 22nd - 31st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 potterwx ftw I'm not holding my breath, but at this point I will take an inch of snow. I had some flurries overnight from some renegade lake effect but that has since been over by 6AM this morning. The GFS looks atrocious still and I'm begining to worry for the winter as a whole. Where did you find that at Jamie, what website? Oh and I noticed that you have mapgirl as your signature, what happened to her? Hopefully everyone can get at least some snow before Christmas, but it looks more and more bleak as the GFS runs keep comming. I have some chance at some overrunning events before eventually changing over to frozen mix/rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PottercountyWXobserver Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 woot woot 0.3" of new snow lol. I don't think I have ever been this excited for this amount of snow. It is still falling fairly light, def lake enhanced from the FROPA. Had a little misty ZR with some graupel associated with the front around 11PM-midnight before turning to all light on/off snow showers very early this morning.
