Blizzard of 93 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 The CTP point in click for Christmas Eve for places just north of Harrisburg, such as Pillow, has snow mentioned… Friday Night Rain and snow likely, becoming all rain after 1am. Cloudy, with a low around 34. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 The pattern is currently not ideal, but CTP mentions snow a few times in their discussion today over this coming week. .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Thursday will start dry, but a weak short-wave will bring light snow to the western and northern tier for Thursday evening. There will be a brief break in the precipitation before the next shortwave and PVA moves overhead and brings in the next round of precipitation by Christmas Eve evening. Temperatures are on the warm side, so expect mostly rain. However, some wintry mix is possible along the northern tier and at those higher elevations/cooler spots. Precipitation will hold on through most of Christmas day. Expect a wet Christmas instead of a white Christmas as this will be mostly all rain, but it is possible for some snowflakes to mix in with the rain as the low-pressure system moves out of the area Christmas night. Another shortwave will bring an additional round of precipitation for Sunday afternoon and evening. This system looks to be colder, so there will likely be snow across the northern tier, with a chance of a wintry mix across central Pennsylvania, and a rain/snow mix possible across the southern tier. The low-pressure system will move directly over the Commonwealth, and the positioning of this system will greatly determine precipitation type. At this point, the beginning of next week looks rather unsettled. An upper-level trough is likely to bring another low-pressure system to the area Monday/Tuesday. Precipitation type at this point is uncertain, but likely a rain/snow mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 There are many fast moving systems heading east between Christmas & New Year’s Day. If the timing is right, we could see Winter weather from at least 1 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 What a morning, and I'm still sitting in the Jeep waiting to get going. This was my post on Facebook a while ago... Folks in the Skook, be VERY careful this morning on the roads. 309 south of Leibys is an icy mess, and there's an accident at the 443 Lehighton cutoff. There's also a car down an embankment on 895 going to Andreas per my co-worker. I'm sitting it out with about a dozen other cars and trucks by Central Spring right now after fishtailing it all over the place in the Jeep. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Every year it’s the same old Possible storm December 8th timeline, disappears. Then maybe Christmas...Christmas now looks like a torch,yuck. Next thing you know now we’re into January. When we have cold there is no moisture and when there is moisture there is no cold. Love this place and all the posters that make this place great! Yesterday in 1959 we had 5:5” of snow. Everyone have a good Christmas week! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the timing is right, we could see Winter weather from at least 1 of them. I think it’s more likely that the temperature stays above freezing for the entire period between Christmas and New Year’s (as both the 0z Euro and GFS except for one panel depict) than that there’s any real winter weather chance to track. But I do like where the GFS is going a day or two after the new year. Hopefully that doesn’t get wiped away at 12z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 A low of 31 and some thick fog with visibilities <1/4 mile. The fog and temp combo has created some slick black ice type spots on the roadways this morning, careful out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
