2001kx Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 The key to not whining is not having expectations. I don't I see 12" snow this year and I'm content as a clam with whatever happens (save for ice storms, I want nothing to do with ice). mapgirl, welcome! You'll find this thread to be one of the friendliest of them all. agreed.. this year i will be happy with just 2 - 12"+ snow events and a blizzard. just ban me now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Well I am going to go out on a limb here and put up some predictions. Season Totals For Locations Pittsburgh: 45-50" Johnstown: 75-85" Clarion: 45-55" State College: 45-55" Williamsport: 35-45" Greencastle: 25-35" Harrisburg: 20-30" York: 25-35" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 You can lock in the massive storm the Euro is depicting on day 9 since I'll be in the Atlantic on a cruise at that time. Bring it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Where in the hell did that come from? I expect these kinds of things from time to time in the GFS long range but the Euro? Drops in and cuts off a nuclear bomb of a 500mb low. Deepens it all the way to 5200m at hour 240 on the Jersey Coast. For this time of the year, that's off the charts anomalous for 500 heights. Reminds me a bit of the later February 2010 storm that retrograded into New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 FYI I moved from MD to Pine Grove PA this fall so I will be posting here mostly this season. I went to Penn State so I am fairly familiar with PA climo but definitely have to get used to micro climate issues for my area like I was with MD and VA. Hopefully we have an exciting year.

Blizzard92 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 This may have already been posted, but this is pretty wild considering how dry the rest of the Northeast was during October... A TOTAL OF 11.04 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE MONTH MAKES OCTOBER2013 THE WETTEST OCTOBER ON RECORD AT HARRISBURG. THE PREVIOUS WETTESTOCTOBER WAS IN 1976 AT 9.87 INCHES.

psuhoffman Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 GO AWAY NEW PEOPLE YOU AREN'T WANTED just kidding. Prepare to get pissed when blizzards split the App and Atlantic uprights. seems to run in cycles...80s and 90s were very good to PA in terms of big snow events...then 2000's on have tended to favor coastal areas more. Not sure if/when that trend changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 It looks like the Euro today has recovered from whatever hard liquor it got itself into last night. It does have a system near that day 8 timeframe, but it runs a low thru the Lower Lakes and up the St Lawrence. Basically more in line with how the pattern into mid month appears to be shaping up.

Fozz Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hopefully this year, so us in PA (or near enough to it) can cash in I think northern MD (as well as York/Lancaster) is one of those in-between areas which isn't quite I-95, but also isn't that far inland (like JamieO land for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
