JamieOber Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Sorry, but Ji is right. Warm and wet, cold and dry. oh well If you said to Ji "Leesburg will now get the same amount of snow as Pittsburgh, including this year so far, but the catch is you have to give up your first born to adoption" Ji's reply would be "hold on, let me see if I can talk my wife into it."

Voyager Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I hate the Appalachian Mountains. They rob me of my thunderstorms, kill an Alberta Clipper, and now they delay/deny my warm-up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL ! All kidding aside, what I was concerned about seems to be happening. At least, here in Pgh, we wasted a decent Nov/Dec pattern of cool and wet weather. Way too much rain for getting favorable storm tracks. Now we'll probably 1-2" our way to our annual 40" total. But this winter could have been much better. Yeah, I'm gonna say it, and I don't give a f*ck who dislikes it : Winter is over, welcome to the High Plains. When you're always kicking field goals inside the red zone, most of the time you lose. Wake me up in Jan 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I know some will say "What about the cold ?" Good question. IMHO, cold air is good for two things: 1. Changing rain to snow. 2. Setting the stage for potential snowfall. Other than that, cold air is useless. Especially below zero temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmister Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 It is my 7th winter in State College, having left from the Philly area and to see them get another major storm with us getting fringed makes me so angry! I cannot believe how many 10+" events they have seen since the 2007/8 winter...what have we seen? One? (2/5/10). Just crazy. And I know that as soon as I move back to that area there will be nothing but inland runners that dump snow in Central PA and windy rain in PHL!

NortheastPAWx Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Believe me Jmister, you're not alone. It's so damn frustrating to see how these snowstorms have become all or nothing the last few years - and how often we land on the nothing side!

Big Jims Videos Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm going to drive to the shore for the second time this year to my moms house in Monmouth county because for whatever reason Monmouth county is storm jackpot since like 2009 it seems. Central and NEPA can't catch a break. I don't remember storms like this when I lived at the shore and areas nw got shafted as much back in the 90s and 2000s.

colonel717 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I an joining in on the complaints. Another 1-3 inch "storm" for my area. If it over performs we get 2-4 inches....Big flip. We have over 30 inches for the year and I dont think anything over 4 inches on the ground at one time, My brother lives in Middletown, freaking DE and about to get his 3rd major storm, expecting 6-10 or more while imby we keep nickle and dimeing our way to above season average snow probably by the end of the week. I have not had to use a snow shovel yet this year, and not expecting to have to use one after this "storm". I have a snow pusher with wheels that I use for our small snows. Give me 3 6-10 inch storms as opposed to 20 1-2 inch "storms" any day. Glad I could rant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmsptwx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I need it, lol. I hate these I 95 storms more than anything and since when did the southern tier turn into a snowbelt!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEFD17 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I need it, lol. I hate these I 95 storms more than anything and since when did the southern tier turn into a snowbelt!!!! I thought I was the only one who had this mindset. We get snow then proceed to have it rained away 2-3 days later. 3rd year in a row I have grass showing the end of January. Good news though is now I can get all the bull crap cold but no snow. It will warm up enough to rain again. Tired of hearing "looks to be Albany/Catskills south is going to see the brunt of this storm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Lol don't get me started on the cold. It makes you wonder if some ppl have to pay the heating bill the way they cheerlead. Up here I've just came to the mindset that we are in a horrible spit for dynamic snows and maybe I should move to south jersey haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gripe with this one. We get the bitter cold that everyone else does, and most likely worse, over the next few weeks, but the snow? Forget about it. That's for I-95.

And as I said yesterday, it used to be that even the storms for I-95 would also be storms for us...used to be even if they got like 20" we'd still be good for like a 9-14" event or so...PD2 was 15" here for example. Now you either have to get the razor-thin 8-12"+ zone or you're screwed - and it always sets up along the 95 corridor anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that lately the best place to live if you want a shot at seeing 10 inches of snow (or more) is to the south and east of these interstates. I-81 to I-78 to I-95. Best chances: I-81 to I-76 to I-95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-81 to I-78 to I-95. Best chances: I-81 to I-76 to I-95. I agree and there is almost no denying it. If you want nuisances that are a pain in the butt to drive in and clean up regularly live here. If you want a nice all out snowstorm live along I 95 from Philly to Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Actually more excited than usual for our yearly trek to Daytona and the 70 degree plus weather we usually find!! Looking at the models I don't see anything until day 7 plus so no real reason to get excited about anything. We've been hearing mid range looks good since December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I feel for you guys...i really do. One thing I found comical was in the southeast forum yesterday. I guess at one point South Carolina and Georgia were in line for snow. Once it became obvious it wasn't going to, they started griping about Boston stealing their snow. Um...it's supposed to snow more in Boston than it is in Savannah. It's also supposed to snow in your locales, which is kind of my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I really can't wait for this winter to be over. The tight gradients and southern tier/Philly jackpots with regard to snowfall, AND the extreme cold periods have made this winter suck so far.

Voyager Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Lancaster gets buried constantly while our ski resorts in N Central can't buy a natural snow. Philly gets buried constantly while our ski resorts in the Poconos can't buy a natural snow. Sorry, I couldn't resist, but it's the same situation here in the east as well. I wonder when the natural order of things returns, and we get into a more climatologically "proper" winter pattern where the mountains get more snow than I-95 and the Mason-Dixon Line?
