sauss06 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 had plenty of sun at my house, but yeah once the front came through and winds picked up...holy cow was it cold outside. i had very little sun at all. It did peek out every now and then. It was cloudy and windy all day. When i came in at around 5, i could instantly feel my wind burnt face.

canderson Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I never saw the sun yesterday. Last night thought what I did see was the wind blowing all sorts of trash cans and whatnot around. We had to have had gusts to 35 - it was blowing pretty hard. But hey that's winter in HBG where it always is windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paweather5 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Brett Thackara @BrettThack The sun's activity is weaker than it has been in 200 years! | Strange doings on the sun, as sunspots are down. http://on.wsj.com/1ai38Mn Can someone explain what this really means for winter. So if it relaxes does this mean cooler then average temps. Or does this not effect the winter at all. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Looks like the western half of PA is going to see their first accumulating snowfall of the season tonight into tomorrow between the frontal precip which could end as a period of snow and the lake effect that gets ushered in behind that . The central could see come coatings to an inch here and there, esp west of I-99 while the Laurels should pick up generally 1-3". Wouldn't rule out advisory amounts in the higher ground of Cambria and Somerset either, esp Somerset County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've told people not to be surprised to wake up to a coating tomorrow and maybe a few slick spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 I saw JamieO gets his first snow on the grass of the year. Laurels probably get an inch or so as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vogan Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 First flakes of the season spotted here in the LSV this morning. With the exception of a very wet 5 day period in October we have been in a dry pattern for the last few months here. Hopefully that will change in the coming months.

JamieOber Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Good news on the Euro Weeklies, from what I am hearing:Week 2, near normal temps with a -wpo and a +pna, cold over the Plains Week 3, near normal temps with a weak -epo and a weak -nao, cold centered over Lakes/OH Valley Week 4, nice...below normal, with a -epo and a -ao. That's really interesting stuff. Any thoughts from the experts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 as djr reported already,( we live close) my roof was covered and had dusting in the grassy areas, not on paved surfaces. As i came to work just on the other side of the susky, i saw no evidence of snow. Must have been some decent over night wind too, the rubber covering my firewood was blown off, as was some other things in the yard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in October there was talk about how were supposed to be above normal for the first half of the month. By Saturday morning, as we start the second half of November, that sure won't be the case.

Agreed. We have seemingly dodged some warm periods and truth be told it has been a "normalish" fall (a tad on the dry side mind you), and hopefully a segway to normalish kinda winter would be nice. Looking at Easterns progs of the both the AO and NAO trending negative has to raise an eybrow of many snowlovers. Got me excited. I knew starting up the sleds on Sunday would get Mo Natures attention... Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Speaking of dry - KAVP currently has 22.44" YTD. 26.22" is the record for lowest precip in one year. It's a record that really is not infeasible to break at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
