MillvilleWx Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hope ZAK is ok! Probably passed out from all the tracking! Man has it been a winter down here. A winter full of sharp cutoffs, ice, heavy snow, and extreme cold. I love the snow and tracking storms but it has been very harsh in this area. What made it tough is all the sharp cutoff storms where we get 8-10 inches and 10 miles down the road almost nothing. When you work in the area that got the shaft and live in the "snowbelt" it is really disruptive. I lost 4 days of work being stuck back here. At least now everything is kind of shut down so it makes life easy. Historic winter on the Mason Dixon line. Trust me it doesn't always snow here, but when it does it can go big. Part of that is the elevation, relative proximity to the coast, and the terrain. When we are cold enough and get the moisture it is squeezed out to the max around here. Anyway more snow tonight, should be fun! The last few winters were nothing here, so this makes up for it in a big way. A few pictures from part 1 and part 2 of the "Blizzard" of 2014. http://www.flickr.com/photos/32639942@N03/sets/72157640931575715/show 24.5 inches total. Pretty spectacular pictures. Not as much as down there, but 17" up here at Millersville packed quite a punch. Cars barricaded into their spots (I was lucky enough to be one of them ). Warmer day definitely helped, but more snow on the way to basically replace the lost snow here. Been a remarkable season thus far. Personally from snow I've seen fall over my house in MD, Millersville, Penn Yan, NY and driving, I've seen about 80" of snow this year. My friends who went to OWLeS up off Lake Ontario have seen more like 200" this year from all these snow events. Wild year of weather. Imagine if we had a -NAO. Just wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wow Yeah, we are doing all of this without a solid -NAO. Although that +PNA helped a bunch. But I think the once overlooked EPO may prove to be a better indice.

MillvilleWx Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Yeah, we are doing all of this without a solid -NAO. Although that +PNA helped a bunch. But I think the once overlooked EPO may prove to be a better indice. Sent from my iPhone Agree with this statement. I'm pretty sure someone on the Mid-Atlantic board did some research on this feature and actually proved that the EPO signal is a slightly better indicator for "most" areas on the upcoming winter. The +PNA was huge to bring in the motherload of cold air from Canada, but that -EPO proved to drive the pattern for the most part. That NAO signal was the only thing that didn't work out in our favor, but we really didn't need it too much from 40N on northward (or N. MD north if you want to get technical). Tonight looks good for 2-4" in this area and 83 Blizzard will get death banded and walk away with as much as Cape Cod is looking forward to.......j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'd agree looking at the models and temps. Lol, waiting for cars on the track checking in on the models!! Nice warmup next week too, hope we avoid rain! Huh? This is northern stream energy passing south us...temps will not be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeffsvilleWx Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Roof collapse at WGAL reported. You ok, AllWeather? Doesn't look like it was a complete collapse. The structural integrity of the building was unknown after hearing some noises and seeing bowing beams so the building was evacuated until integrity could be determined. http://lancasteronline.com/lancaster/news/snow-on-roof-forces-evacuation-at-wgal/article_fcf12404-95b9-11e3-aba7-0017a43b2370.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 4 degree temp drop last hour here at the Ville. 36 degrees and will continue to drop. Could be ugly out there once stops. Ice and snow. Pretty much replacing what we lost. I'm still sore from digging out today. What a storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmsptwx Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Zak's right usual suspects west of I 99 will do well, radar looks weak atm. Hard for anyone to complain though after a foot plus on the southern tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick G Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I have 22 inches on the ground right now with another 2-4 for tonight. This reminds me of 93 and 96 where were close to 100 inches total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 FYI there are 2" and 3" reports around Dayton OH near the northern edge of the system so while the radar might look weak that doesnt mean it wont produce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL!!!!!! No kidding! My wife who is not a snow weenie is always fretting. Typical quotes from her this winter: "I don't understand why this is hitting us again. They are not getting this in Hunt Valley." "Channel 8 only called for 3-5, why do we have all this snow" "Why is this hitting us again" "Where is Penn Dot" "This is ridiculous why is it always hitting only us" "Schools are never open anymore" "That child hasn't had a full week of snow since December" :weight_lift: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Maybe they were afraid the kids would trip over themselves on the dry pavement or melt from the sun. It got above freezing you know Tuesday morning around here was an ultimate example this week. After two snow days and a couple delays between the two severe cold shots back in January, there wasn't a delay to be had when we had the coldest morning of the season by several degrees (-15F). They also got away with going on time yesterday and dismissing early right as the death band was arriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick G Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 NWS Binghamton stated that they may have to up the amounts in the southern area of nepa (My area). If they did that then they would be issuing advisories for us. It will be interesting to see how this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thoughts on the clipper? While I do think best amounts will focus on the Laurels and the south central counties immediately adjacent (up to 4-6"), I don't think we'll see a marked drop off east of the mountains like some are thinking with the low moving south of PA and in the process of deepening as it hits the coast and heads to New England. I like a general 2-3" east of the mountains in the advised areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
