MAG5035 Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Some big totals being reported in Cambria and Somerset counties. 11" was reported near Seven Springs Resort in Somerset County as well as these Cambria County reports.

Technically that area's in Somerset County. Either way there must have been some impressive fluff factor to go with elevational enhancement.

I have to guess it's rather uncommon to see clipper totals exceed a foot regardless of location, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Wow, just got home from work. What a surprise to see the snow get heavier as I headed west from Mechanicsburg to Carlisle. I've got 0.8" of new snow here with a temp of 24.8 degrees. No prob accumulating with weakest/lowest sun angle of the season. This was not in the forecast last night at all. Flake size increasing right now but radar looking like maybe the end is not too far off to my west. Still, more December snow to enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Have a dusting so far from the patchy snow that is still hanging on back this way. Models still all over the place in the extended. We do appear to be heading for a moderation in the pattern to begin next week, but beyond that there hasn't been much run to run consistency on operational models. Good chance we reload on cold with the EPO forecast to take a nosedive and MJO heading into more favorable phases. Today's 12z Euro has one heck of an overrunning/frontal wave event for Christmas. Models have been hinting occasionally at this type of scenario in this timeframe and with the attempted moderation in the pattern next week and ample cold available just to the north I would watch for this to potentially happen where the gradient sets up...and our region should be near it.

Atomixwx Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Getting these little events and the cold right away kinda gives me the gut feeling that we're looking at a 2013/2014 kind of season. Which doesn't verify with anybody's picks, so maybe it's just a month of this and we torch, but my supported by zero science gut thinks otherwise.

Blizzard of 93 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 It was a nice little snow event for a few hours today. MDT recorded .5 inches, bringing the seasonal total to 2.4 inches, which is right on normal pace for the season to date. It looks like we may have a winter storm to track for Christmas! The Euro today has 8 inches of snow on the ground across all of CTP by the end of the 10 day run & it was still going at the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2013/14 type season could happen if we can maintain a dominant western/Pac ridging (+PNA, -EPO) regime, especially with the continued absence of -NAO..which was a thing we had a lack of in the 13/14 and 14/15 winters. Well I guess overall we've really had a lack of established -NAO in most of the last several winters. The Pacific has been a big driver of our winters lately. The onslaught of storms and mountain snows in the west last winter that ended the California drought meant we had to deal with persistent ridging in the east. Persistent +NAO/AO also didn't help with releasing sustained cold either. We have had a pretty good pattern going currently, not necessarily for big hitter storms.. but for sustaining cold and providing some snow opportunities here and there. La ninas can also be a potential factor in front-end winters. 05-06 was such an example where a really good late Nov/December went kinda flat later in the winter (aside from the Feb 2006 blizzard. Of course we have the 95/96 La Nina episode and I don't have to provide reminders of the snowiness of that winter...although most of the damage was done there Mid-November to mid January. Those were both weaker Ninas and our sensible weather when it comes to weak enso episodes on either side of the spectrum usually are more influenced by the traditional teleconnections more than the other way around (stronger Enso episodes actually doing the influencing).

CarlislePaWx Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Amazing what 1" of snow on the ground can do for radiational cooling. As of 10:30pm I'm all the way down to 11.8 degrees and still dropping. If the winds don't pick up for a while I might reach upper singles. NWS forecast low for me for tonight is 22...lol.

CarlislePaWx Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Yes, the board appears to have gone weird. Where's our mod, maybe he can tell us if it's a glitch. I don't see a reply button anywhere. BTW, last night's 0Z still giving us an overrunning white Christmas! We're under the 240 mark now so it begins to have a tad more credence...emphasis on "tad".

Blizzard of 93 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Yes, I don’t like the new look of the board either, hopefully they will correct it. The 6z GFS is on board for snow for CTP with 2 waves coming up from the south on Christmas Eve & ending the day after Christmas. For Harrisburg, it brings a total of 9 inches of snow by the end of the 26th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Yeah, I thought something was wrong with my phone last night. I had to sign back in, and then the text was in the wrong spots, etc... Today it's back to normal, but the skin and features are different. So far I kind of like it, at least on my phone. Haven't checked on a desktop yet.
