anotherman Posted January 27 That's a possible outcome, but to give particulars 5 days out is ballsy. Better to say "there's a chance of a significant winter storm" and start adding precip types in the next few days and potential amounts starting 24-48 hours out. Right. Waaaay too specific. Plus, it looks like, at the moment, what we do get will be snow. The biggest concern is suppression, not rain. Whatever model he’s using is smoking something.

Whatever model he’s using is smoking something. I fear suppression. I can't shake it. Last thing I'm worrying about right now is taint, and I'm the forum's self-designated taint worry king. It worries me even more knowing that PSUhoffman is worried about suppression and he's further south than me by a fair amount. EJ thinks that the area between Rt. 30 and 66 is in line for a warning event snowfall. I'll take my WWA and like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, it is way to early to worry about boundaries when the final track is far from set. Remember, for the December storm, that Binghamton, NY a couple of days before the event looked to be getting fringed with under 10 inches of snow and they ended up with 3 feet! Also, the day before the December storm, CTP had the 18 inch bullseye near Harrisburg & Carlisle with no mention of sleet. Harrisburg ended up with 11 inches. The CTP snow bullseye in reality ended up from I-80 on north where many places ended up with 2 feet! I like where we are sitting at this range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Which is too early to be honest) The one that's concerned is Hoffman. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrandmasterB Posted January 27 I liked the ridge out west better on the 00Z GFS compared to 18Z and 12Z GFS. I think it was a step towards the Euro. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarlislePaWx Posted January 27 This is unbelievable if it plays out with this long duration. It starts snowing at 7:00AM Sunday morning and doesn't end until 12:00PM on TUESDAY! Folks...that's 53 hours. I think the longest storm of my life was 36 hours in January 1996. I've never seen anything last this long. WOW. Oh yeah, the 14" of snow is pretty nice too...lol. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAG5035 Posted January 27 GFS still mixed southern tier for a time but it's been creeping toward a less mixy solution since 12z today. It also tucks in the coastal low closer when it pretty much stalls, so overall it's looking pretty good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blizzard of 93 Posted January 27 The 0z EPS was a great run with just about every ensemble member low north of the 0z Euro Op. Most of the EPS members are tucked near the coast, some are inland and some just off of the DelMarVa. The EPS mean precip & snow map also increased for much of CTP. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blizzard of 93 Posted January 27 The 6z GFS even though it has a different evolution that is further north than the Euro, still delivers a very good result for most of CTP. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Long duration is a win no matter how it stacks up (well as long as it stacks up enough to play in). 6z GFS says the same snow late morning sunday right into tuesday morning rush hour. AND......if thats not enough, it looks like more opps coming on the heels of next weeks event. Takeaway is it looks and feels like normal winter....and normal is good.

Cashtown_Coop Posted January 27 Hey everyone, quick idea. If things keep looking like snow, I think it would be fun to have a snow contest for the area. Pick something like 5 sites and see who can guess the total snowfall for those places. Start a spreadsheet and tally up the numbers. Like this post if you want to participate or respond directly to my post. If we get 10 players I’ll get it going. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
