sauss06 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I'm at the point i need sun. All this dampness, my arthritis is killing me. And my yard is so saturated when the dog runs he just rips the grass up. Its fricking pouring in Harrisburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 This is June-level heavy rain here right now. Pretty cool 24 hours after heavy snow we had it all melt and now have heavy rain. Weather's so fascinating. We're flying to Texas Friday and back Tuesday ... while you guys watch for snow here I'm watching for severe there. Things look interesting down there Friday and Saturday for storms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 2nd wave early next week is the one to focus on. Seems like there's an opportunity for 2 pieces of energy to phase on the east coast. Tricky, highly intricate setup, but man if everything comes together we could be looking at something far more than a nuisance. I agree Mike, wave two will have the best dynamics. The one thing I don't like about it will be a stale cold airmass. Hopefully everything lines up perfectly and we score with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unseasonably cold air mass will be eroding...shoot it will be day 4 before the arrival of the storm. That works great in midwinter but not so much in April. As you said we're really going to need things to align perfectly where as on Saturday we might just need moisture to make it this far north.

snowsux Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 10 hours ago, daxx said: Let me try to answer your question honestly. I absolutely get giddy tracking snow when I see a model showing it. Is it weird, well maybe but who gives a sh!t. I would like to ask you a question. Do you get giddy posting stupid comments? It was a valid question. I was only asking it because a lot of you guys are acting like this has never happened before, while (at least in my experience) snow always seems to be modeled during the first part of April. On a personal level however, I now have another question....for you specifically. Do you talk like that in the "real world" to people's faces, or do you reserve your smugness for the internet where it's "safe" (it isn't, by the way)? I have a feeling I already know the answer to that one, but I just wanted to hear it from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
717WeatherLover Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I enjoy this forum because for the most part there is a level of civility, unlike the MA/NY/PHILI forums. Some long time posters know each other well enough that they can laughingly take little pokes at each other and can take the ribbing. Some of us come here because we are snow lovers. We always want to be in the jackpot, always want to believe things will come together for our area, love to break record highs/lows/amounts. We look at snow and the possibility of snow with the enthusiasm of a child hoping for a day off of school. Some of us are proudly weenies. Today, maybe because we are facing the reality of the end of our snow season, the civility is missing. Can't we all play nicely? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate your thoughts! I'm the "perpetrator" because I asked whether or not people get this exited every year when the GFS shows snow during the first part of April? That's some geeky mom's basement D&D logic right there. Incidentally now that I'm in the process of Doxing Daxx (that sorta rhymes, doesn't it?), it appears that's exactly what I was dealing with. I'll get back to my fun little project here and let you guys cry and commiserate about how much of a meanie I am and how much my screen name offends you, lol!

paweather Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I still believe system 1 is the key if we can get that to come further north get the cold front out of the way earlier we will have a decent chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Big dog potential next week but we're really fighting odds on that. My fear with Saturday is the truly cold air mass shoves that one further south. Can't believe I'm saying that on 4/3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Here's Pivotal's maps... first 10:1, then Kuchera. I'd focus more on Kuchera numbers as closer to what to expect, unless rates (banding) from either or both become intense, which would pull numbers up towards 10:1's higher amounts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I bolded in the quote is pretty much spot on. We all know each other on some level and each others "quirks" for lack of a better term. Everyone here knows I'm the biggest Warmanista there is, yet they all accept me for who I am, and why I'm a warmanista (which is because I'm a tractor trailer driver). They also know that. in season, and if I'm off work and sitting in my house, I will follow and root on a good snowstorm. The only civility that's missing is from the "snowsux" guy trolling. That being said, I was hoping for a west coast trip this week, but instead I'm leaving out tomorrow for a run to Atlanta and then to Greenville, SC for a backhaul to Mountain Top, PA. Looking at the latest GFS run, my Saturday may be a white one as I'll probably be coming up I-81 out of Virginia that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
