KamuSnow Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Had a very light snow shower about an hour ago, currently 35F and rising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 In any event those south winds mean the warm front is already farther north, no? There's a cold front pressing south that's partially across northern PA (south of Bacon Strips), not sure how far south it will make it, but that would become the warm front as the storm moves closer I believe.

Dewpoints will take ya down....plus we gotta watch this High.

Sunny and Warm Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'm originally from the LV, and I feel for you guys. What could have been... I'm glad that nearly all of you have the proper expectations for this storm. Some of the worst busts I ever recall came from SWFE storms. The warm air seems to always arrive much more quickly at upper levels than forecast and the front end dump becomes an inch of snow turning to ice and possibly a dry slot. At least that seemed to happen a lot. Good luck anyway, and I do hope you get something on the backside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This storm doesn't feel like a bust like the last storm (obviously i know it didnt happen yet but let's assume for a minute it goes the way it is looking). It just got warmer as we got closer to the event, which happens a lot with these SWFE events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyweather Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Tiny flakes here as well. Temp is still 36. This happens time and time and again. Yet people don't learn. I'm hovering 33, which was my forecasted high for today. Yet everyone is slashing totals, rain rain rain they say. Even EPAWA is slashing totals ( big red flag that we are going to get hammered) CAD at its finest, the Lehigh valley always over performs with these events. NWS just updated WSW to 3-8" with .2" ice, no plain rain. Wfmz is on board with no rain as well. Gonna be a nasty commute in the morning.

Hurricane Agnes Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Was just out and saw some tiny tiny lazy flurries drifting around. OBS Overcast and hazy with occasional flurries Temp 39.6F Winds SW light Didn't expect the temp to blowtorch before the event. I can see why the models were having issues. Wonder if we see an occluded front later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dews are still pretty low here, I think it starts as frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dews are still pretty low here, I think it starts as frozen. Ain't that the truth, although given how cold it was this past week, it was a surprise to see the temps creep above the mid-30s. Hoping to avoid ZR with the ground so cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Reilly Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 some sun through high clouds here had a few very small fine flakes a few times but nothing too note worthy winds west-southwest ahead of warm air advection 38 with a dew point of 29 so it will not snow for long here hoping to squeeze out .3 to .8" of snow is that asking for too much LOLMedia Delaware County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
