canderson Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Tomorrow looks really slippery if you’re N/W of say, State College. I don’t think MDT gets much zr but be careful to the rest of you guys. Freezing rain is scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Well, I'm certainly not excited to see these long write-ups about the upcoming pattern. Especially since I'm looking to FINALLY get back to work (hopefully) from my Covid and shoulder surgery induced hiatus. In fact, it downright terrifies me to think I may come out of the house in a potentially dangerous and far from ideal pattern for a commercial truck driver. I wish I had the resources to sit out the whole of winter and wait for spring, but I can't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paweather Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Mid month on the 12z GFS has an interesting evolution. It is a long way away but that is when I think PSUHoffman was also talking about (with the Mag and Showme posts today) the pattern kicking in ripe through February.

You only need a T of freezing rain to verify a WWA, which is fairly likely even in H-burg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The 18z GFS & NAM are delivering a few inches of Snow to most of us on Sunday. It will be very interesting to see if we can thread the needle and get a few inches of snow out of this on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoralRed Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year to All. I guess sometimes there are more important things than snow and celebrating New Years Eve is one of those things. I see the maps for Sunday. I am not ready to shovel more snow yet. That 25" is still in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruin Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Well atm down to 23.8 forecast low was 28 and under clear skys most of the night. tomorrow high is now down to 36 vs 49. precip looks to be way behind schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerplunk Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year! Bottomed out at 21.9 here this morning. Could take awhile to scrub that cold air out, so fair amount of freezing rain seems likely. Am debating whether to break out a Frost Guard windshield cover I bought several years ago, but have never used. Only use my car on Wednesdays so many times can count on warm temps to melt any ice before I need to drive. But with the possibility of more ice Sunday, will probably bite the bullet and put the cover on. Which I’m not looking forward to due to some vertigo problems. However, sure beats the prospect of scraping ice. Hell to get old. Haha. I envy those of you with a garage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be truthful, I pretty much lost interest when it became obvious that the upper level support (500mbs) would lag behind and along with it the cold we needed to help offset the crap airmass in place before the system. So I for the most part have been casually glancing at best and looking more beyond that to what that system may mean for the possibilities for around Friday. I might add, I like what I am seeing for Friday, IFFFFF the temps can cooperate. The setup at 500mb is primed for a potential MEC somewhere in the East as currently projected. But we are talking 7 days and there are things to be worked out first to see if we can realize that potential. But back to your original question. Outside of Northcentral and Northeastern PA I think most will be left wanting for any somewhat meaningful snow. This is excepting the coastal stalling and/or intensifying quicker which would change the equation. For those salivating over the NAM runs and their snowfall just remember they are at range. I myself think they are out to lunch here. The globals (GFS/Euro/CMC) probably have a more realistic snowfall presentation but even they are probably over done as well on the southern and western edges of the snowfall. But again, I haven't followed closely so take my thoughts for what they are worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 The 0z Euro run for next Friday into Saturday has the winter storm possibility that @showmethesnow mentioned above. Buckle up, the winter storm chances should be starting to line up later next week and beyond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
