Itstrainingtime Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Margusity is a moron, though. His name could be Henry GFSity. Agreed, but he has really tuned down the hyping over the past couple of years. Heck, there have been a couple of times he was more conservative than the "official line" at Accuwx.

Itstrainingtime Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah, they are rarer than people think. They really are. It was a special event when we were younger. I think today there is a sense of entitlement amongst a large contingent of I95 folks that they should get them on a regular basis. The last fews years are an anomaly.

PennMan Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 One other item to note, is a little gem Eric Horst always told us during my college days. Double digit snow falls (10" or greater) occur once a decade on average in Pennsylvania. Just a tidbit that always sits in my head when see day 15 threats punch out 15: of snow on the GFS or 84 hour clown maps on the NAM. They occur more often than that depending on location. Just off the top of my head I can name 6 10"+ storms in the 90s and 6 from 2000-2013 at my parents place in Lebanon County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read more than once where Eric has said that historically, Lancaster sees a double digit snowfall about once per decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine it would be much different over that 20 mile stretch and I think Lancaster has us beat in the 2000-2013 timeframe WRT # of storms.

Eskimo Joe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah, they are rarer than people think. For clarity, he (Horst) means widespread 10"+. Not some bogus S&S Stormchasing report out of Red Lion or Shrewsbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 My Thursday point and click forecast says "A chance of snow showers after 1PM. The snow may be heavy at times." Same for tomorrow night. Did I miss something? Similar forecast for UNV. Snow showers likely, mainly between 1pm and 4pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Cloudy, with a high near 16. Wind chill values as low as -1. Light west wind increasing to 6 to 11 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 My point and click said the same thing for yesterday afternoon. Just a glitch? A MOISTURE-STARVED CLIPPER...OVR THE UPPER PLAINS EARLY THIS MORNING...WILL TRACK SE ACROSS PA EARLY THURSDAY. INCREASING CLOUDS AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE SHOULD HOLD TEMPS UP A BIT TONIGHT WITH LOWS MAINLY BTWN ZERO AND 5 ABV. GEFS PWATS REMAIN BTWN 1-2SD BLW NORMAL DURING PASSAGE OF CLIPPER. HOWEVER...OPER AND AND ENSEMBLE QPF IS SUPPORTIVE OF LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS...WHERE OROGRAPHIC FORCING WILL BE GREATEST. ELSEWHERE...WILL MENTION JUST A CHC OF -SHSN TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. ANY ACCUMS SHOULD BE LESS THAN AN INCH. From CTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 12z Euro similar on track with Mondays clipper from last night, 12z GFS came north a little bit tracking the low more thru northern PA. That system again appears to be one with the best moisture and best chance for a widespread snow across the state. The track of the low is important though, the more northern track suggests the best snow would be more for New York State. Ideally for pretty much everyone to do half decent. we need the low going along or just under the mason-dixon line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
