MAG5035 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Good time for a new thread as the storm has exited the area. Tonights 0z guidance continue to suggest a plethora of northern branch disturbances the next several days that for the most part could deliver mainly light snowfall to PA (especially western PA). GFS and Euro have been suggesting a better clipper traversing the region around hr 126-132 (Sun night into Monday morning) and that might be our next more widespread threat. GFS hung a nice stripe of snow on the folks that largely missed out on the brunt of Tuesday's storm, while the Euro low was further north and had more snow in northern and western Penn. Both models continue to be wall to wall cold for the eastern US. In the case of the GFS it's amazing how it's like the anti 2001-2002.. where it forecasted all kinds of cold in the longer range that never materialized. This winter pretty much every time it's occasionally showed a major warm up, it's either been muted or never happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Temps have really crashed tonight, looking at mesowest most stations in the LSV are in the low to mid single digits, with even a couple below zero here and there. Downright frigid in some parts of the central and west, with a couple -8 stations in the southwest below Pittsburgh (fresh snow), -5 in Clearfield, -8 in Punxy, -6 at Indiana, and -4 at Johnstown. Most State college mesowest stations are below zero with the Stormstown one reporting -7. -1 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Currently sitting at zero degrees. My coldest so far this winter was -4 on two occasions, Saturday 1/4 and Tuesday 1/7. I'm not so sure we drop to that level as both those mornings were about the same at this hour (4:30AM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick G Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 -2.1 here today. I am dealing with some medical issues here so I didn't get much of a chance to participate in the last non snow event here: less than.5 inch in Wilkes-Barre PA. most k-12 schools are delayed due to weather. the college I teach/work at closed early yesterday due to poor weather. (lots of students commute from Lehigh valley) . Medical issues: I injured my back a few years ago and now have a spinal cord stimulator to manage pain. it is time to replace it. during the pre op testing, a couple of things popped up. most of those things are minor, but one did require more tests. I am waiting for the test results. (small mass in my lung--most likely scar tissue from a previous illness) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdskidoo Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 it would really be nice if one of these storms would deliver the axis of heaviest snow a couple hundred miles farther to the north and west. I'm pretty sure Philly and NYC have at least doubled my season snowfall so far. it's starting to remind me of '09-'10 all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennMan Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Low of -4° at my apartment in Bellefonte. My car thermo dropped as low as -7° in the stream valley south of town and it generally reads high. Lots of frost and steam from the Logan Branch of Spring Creek. My boss just got in and he had -15° at his house in rural Clearfield County outside of Houtzdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday's clipper looks pretty healthy for western and northern PA on the 06z NAM and GFS. If we get enough clippers to move through, one usually over-performs up here.
