sauss06 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Did you guys see Matts Facebook post? Longest stretch this year with no measurable precip was 9 days Aug 22-30th. Current stretch is 4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 It was a brutal stretch with all the rain this year. Now that we are looking for white stuff, we get dry weather. Cold and snow flurries is ok for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Wife is leaving at 4pm for Boone, NC. Expecting up to 2' there. Hoping she beats the worst of it... Edit: She arrived safely around 12:15am this morning, and as of right now they are closing in on 15" and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The sky caved at about the 20k foot level this afternoon with one heck of a cirrus storm ongoing. Hate to miss a big one like that but I’m pretty encouraged with the pattern so far this winter if we can keep the charged up southern jet. With the 10.5” storm in mid November I’m sitting at 13.5” total for the season so far.. can’t complain about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 My wife just saw Jim Cantore...and never said a word to him. She said that "weather weenies" were lining up for pics with him. One thing that is pretty cool...she said she watched Jim help push stranded cars in Boone earlier today. Just under 20" down there. I guess they might get several more inches tonight when the upper level energy dives through. Finished with about 22" in Boone. Wife is out on a Jeb walk right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks whenever returns dissipate as soon as it hits your county line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Some bitterness over the missed opportunity for snow around the different subforums the last 24 hours. As a self-proclaimed weenie I get it...though I believe a lot of us have developed a sense of entitlement. Growing up in this area during the 70s meant going through a lot of heartache. Other than the February 1983 storm we had a lot of lean years in the 70s and 80s watching our snows either flip over to rain OR watching a fair number of "southern sliders" as they are called today. I don't have data on how often it happened but memory recalls enough misses south that would send a lot a weenies running for therapy today.

We might have a repeat this weekend - we stay too warm and the SE cool enough for another round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the incredible pattern for late December and beyond is now somewhat up in the air. Horst today said he thinks the entire last half of the month is above normal temps.

canderson Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Was 16 at the house when I woke up at 7:15 a.m. A very cold morning out and about. And it looks like a crapload of rain is inbound Friday evening, 1"+ possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the most incredible snowfall rates during the mid to late morning hours, and my only Christmas ever spent in the dark. We went nearly 14 hours without power that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, CTP mentioned that there is a chance of up to 1- 2 inches of snow by Thursday. The High Res NAM at 12z & 18z is on board ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have made progress on the belly and the grey a bit, but I've got a lot of work to do. Mind you this was merely for fun, and to just cast a bit of "its gonna be ok" into the warmish period coming up, as it looks to be transient and a "no need for toasters" kinda warmup. You guys talking about 2015 made me start to twitch/tick all over again. Hope i never relive a Christmas like that in PA. It's just not right.
