(and that was to appease my wife) Back during the brutal cold snap at the end of January I wore a polo and a light jacket to work. Never a hat, never gloves...no need. I am the polar opposite of @Voyager I embrace deep winter! (Could be in part because my parents lived in Alaska...) if i wear gloves, people know its cold. I work outside sometimes and i'm responsible for snow removal at or building, so i do wear Carharts when i'm out in it. On Monday morning after i cleared snow i went in to get my coffee before i left for work and my wife was like oh man you're wearing gloves but it wasn't from cold, my hands are cut up from metal and the shovel handle was ripping them open again.

It will still be nice to see light snow in the air, even if it doesn’t add up too much. The 0z GFS is bringing a little more precip, on Friday, so maybe some of us can squeeze out a dusting to an inch or so on some surfaces. This week is frigid, & ground temps will be in good shape with the current snow cover. I don’t think this will be the last time that we see snow this month. Here is the 0z GFS for Friday: What I just glanced at shows temps staying at or below freezing during the snowfall now...still an issue of most of it being during the day but could even see some slickness come into play Friday evening. Without daytime issues I would say the progs are mostly suggesting a 1-2" snowfall (LSV). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Sure is a beauty out there this morning. Enjoying our 1 week deep winter. Good stats Pawatch. Yeah we found a way to get it done, but like i said, it sure wasnt the easy route. My letdown is that i like to see snow on the ground for extended periods, not here today...gone tomorrow. Most events were like that here in the LSV, or we tainted with many, so its just not clean snow. I'm not mad, just bummed. Definitely snowed enough times to keep my spirits up this year. Would be great to see 1 more "clean" snow event. the one that is showing up 3/22 is a doozy. That could wrap it up nicely if it could trend right for us. Thats the period to watch. 3/18-22. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty enough good reasons to be mindful of that window...whether or not we get a flush hit and what color the flush is TBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Could be in part because my parents lived in Alaska...) I never was a fan of cold weather, but at one time, before I drove commercially, I actually did like snow. My intolerance for winter snow and cold came from the five years I lived in Phoenix. I never recovered from the year round warmth, ease and worry-free driving, and in MY opinion, comfort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we enter spring, the normal shortening of the wavelengths gives the chance for something big to pop. I'd take my chances w/ what the 0z was showing verbatim. One big @ss stemwinder to wrap it up. Cold would likely follow for a couple days, then....its a wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 At least march storms tend to be bigger and more of events deeper into the month. Wound up monsters are more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The milky-white sky is producing a steady stream of flurries over me right now. I could almost even call it steady light snow. With a temp of 20.8 it really does look and feel like the depths of mid-winter outside. My low this morning was 14.9. Still have 2 more mornings to go with lows down at least into the teens. Maybe below 10 tonight if winds can stay calm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Outside of the potential Friday snow, the models have been trending toward a slightly colder solution for much of PA as it pertains to the first part of the Cutter low Saturday night. Something to keep an eye on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still mostly rain but we have had several of these systems start as frozen this year and some afternoon models show frozen Saturday night now. I doubt it is something we all stay up and watch for. And year it still gets into the 50's on Sunday. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know showme thought it might go under, but I just don’t see that. Actually I’d prefer your suggestion. We just proved that without a block it still can happen.

Festus Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Two pretty good rounds of snow showers here. And a fair amount of blowing and drifting as well - far more than I would have thought given the amount of compaction the past 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Maybe @daxx can give full details but the limited Euro maps I see seem to show 1-3" over much of the LSV Friday (again, maybe not roads) then snow depth actually increases Saturday night/early Sunday AM. Not a lot but seems to suggest some snow to start the later weekend system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I know it's been discussed already but both NAMs give us between 1 and 2" of snow on Friday. That's yet another day this week to see snow falling. I've had last Thursday, Friday, Saturday, today, and then Friday. Nice. Temp briefly touched 26 and is back down to 24 with more clouds than sun. Had a couple pretty heavy snow showers move through here earlier too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The 18z GFS increased the precip amount for Friday & brings a good period of light snow to the LSV. If everything goes well, we could be looking at 1 to 2 inches of snow to pad the stats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The EPS still has a very good looking pattern setting up for day 10-15. I think this pattern could work to bring us some more snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have only been 5 of these 50 inch snow winters since 1980. MDT is sitting at 40.9 inches now, & we have a realistic 4 weeks to get it done!
