Voyager Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I'm in Wisconsin right now, but it looks like another 1.40" or so at my house per the USGS gauge. What a crazy wet year. I'm pushing 65 inches so far and there's still just shy of two months to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 How did everyone make out last night? Some solid bright colors on the radar. "Looks like York got hit hard" Less than a 1/4" here overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hey, all. Down here in Hamburg area of Berks county for my brother's wedding this weekend. Tornado warning last night, and gusty winds today. Not the best hair day for wedding pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have moderate to heavy at times rain in the Harrisburg area. Its a good thing too, We went all of Saturday without a drop, we were starting to dry out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Well hello there, Eric... Next week looks quite cold...perhaps more like early December than mid-November with high temps mainly in the 40s here in Lancaster...and in the 30s in the mountains. Saturday through Monday looks mainly cold and dry, before a jet stream amplification in the Tuesday/Wednesday time frame. Obviously it's way too early for details, but given the December-like look (as I see it)...this system could bring snow to parts of northern and western PA...and perhaps even a rain-snow mix here. Again, this system is 8 or 9 days away and so it's a very uncertain forecast--the above is my pattern-based speculation and NOT an official forecast! Behind this nebulous system will come another blast of unseasonably cold air lasting into the following weekend. --Horst 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, later this week & next week should bring well below normal temps to most of the eastern half of the country. The GEFS & EPS at 12z today suggest that we get on the snow board early this year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 The best weather news of the day was the latest Euro seasonal forecast that was issued today. It shows a great winter pattern throughout the season. It features a ridge in the western US & a trough in the east, with signs of an active subtropical jet developing underneath.

Ive been away from the boards, but am liking what I came back to in everything from the short medium and long leads. Baby steps gang but getting close enough to start thinking it could be the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 FWIW, 0z GFS op says favored snow spots see a little flakage on the back side of the LP passage. Unfortunately verbatim, it wont happen during the storm as 850's are toast, and precip is gone by the time they become favorable. as is the norm, I'd think that during more intense precip rates, that column might just support catpaws in lucky spots. Regardless the outcome, its still fun to be taking about a nice system like this. Pattern is close, and were it 4 weeks later, i'd be moderately giddy.

Blizzard of 93 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I just watched DT’s winter preview video. He has below normal temps for our region throughout the winter. He also has our region at 200% of normal snow for the season! He said this is the first time in his 20 years of doing winter forecasts that he has had our region in 200% of normal snowfall category. He thinks the pattern is set up to deliver snow to the east right through March. I would sign up for over 60 inches of snow right now if DT’s forecast delivers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
