daxx Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 The eps from Nye onward looks much better than it's 00z run. I won't discuss much since its past hour 240. It brings the cold and storm chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxx Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I'm not gonna lie. I feel much better seeing the eps run after that terrible gefs run. Sigh of relief, for now. Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh of relief, for now. Lol The way I look at it, being near the boundary in January and maybe the first half of February means we are near the moisture. December and later Feb into March we need better patterns but just a standard SW/NE flow will do just fine mid winter as long as there is no SE Ridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's terrible...Glad I avoided 80 yesterday, I was going to go home that way. You got tractor trailers and cars driving on snow covered roads going 70mph. What's really scary is a tractor trailer pulling doubles. Makes one wonder how many have actually drove in snow. Hopefully between Christmas and New Years we will be able to pick up a storm.

Wmsptwx Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Kinda dead weather wise so thought it'd be fun to ask forum which snow storms are your favorites or dearest to your memory? For me I have three. One was in March of 2011 I believe...it was a rain to snow transition storm that we actually had ongoing flooding during the transition to snow. It thumped the rest of the night snow and ended with close to 11 inches total. My second favorite was Presidents Day 2003...nice powdery snow and had close to 15 inches. My favorite as of now was the March 2017 heavy snow event...best rates I've ever witnessed and measured 18.9 inches even after settling some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in a row home in Philly, with a one way street and cars parked on both sides, and the whole neighborhood had to pitch in and dig out the 30" from the road/block as there was never going to be a plow getting down that street. We had chairs in our parking spaces for a week or two afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxx Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 1: January 1996 2: January 2016 3: February 2003 Those are all storm favorites. The best stretch for me is February 2010. Back to back major storms. Snow depth was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 1. March 1993 1(18" of snow, 65mph wind, 4" of sleet. I had a solid snow cover for 15 days in mid-March. Likely never again) 2. January 1996 (30.5", ended up with 44" for the week) 3. February 1983 (5" of snow between 4pm and 5pm, heaviest snow I've ever seen. Ended up with 24.5") Brian, I have a hard time ranking that week in January 1996 with February 2010. I had the same amount of snow both weeks.

Voyager Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I know I beat on the "I hate snow because I have to drive in it" drum, and I'm sure it gets old for some. I'll just have to reign in those kinds of posts I suppose. Thanks for the kind words all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those squalls are something that make me cringe each time they develop....nothing you can do in a whiteout. No there isn't, but what I do is keep an eye to the sky and look well ahead and watch for "haze" on the mountains. When I see that, I anticipate that a squall can pop at any moment and am prepared to slow or find a ramp to pull off onto until it passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of those great storms where during the final hours before the event the amounts getting increased. Dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That storm blew out the windows in the old Spectrum in Philadelphia. Flyers were home and playing at the time. Game was suspended after the 1st period. Winds in Philly gusted to hurricane force. That storm was modeled incredibly, especially at that time. It seemed certain that the entire east coast was going to be crushed 5-7 days out. You would have appreciated the severe aspect of it...squall line raced through Florida with tornadoes and wide spread damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
