Itstrainingtime Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 The clipper that came on Tuesday after the Blizzard on Sunday in 96 prompted me to write a letter to the mets at Weather World. My question was answered by Sam Perugini who was an on-air met at the time. I still have his letter to me safely inside my college Meteorology textbook. @Birdbean- that 6 to 8 hour thump you're referring to - that came with the coastal that Friday. I had to drive to York that morning and it took me nearly 2 hours to get from the Mt. Zion Road exit back to the Centerville. I measured 11" from that storm and it all fell in just about 6-7 hours. That was a very heavy wet snow that tapered off to drizzle in the afternoon hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasnownut Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 13 at my casa in brownville... That's still plenty cold for me. I'll leave the jostling for position on the cold board to you norther/westers. Have at it ya whackos.. Truth told cold isnt bothering me nearly as much as the last couple years, so I'll just enjoy it....especially if the Tuesday deal can work out for us. GFS still says keep an eye on it. ICON not far from something either..CMC came on board w/ the idea as well. I think via surface panels, they are understating the cold, as you look at 700/850's, we should be ok. Oh, and just for fun, go look at the 384 GFS. That's one hellava frontal boundary. Even though it likely changes a bunch ot time, thats impressive to see a 1055HP. TGIF.

Itstrainingtime Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 47 minutes ago, Itstrainingtime said: The Blizzard of 96 primarily fell on a Sunday into Monday morning. On Tuesday, a clipper raced through- I measured 2" in Centerville but areas south of here in MD had up to 6-8". Finally, a coastal delivered 11" here that Friday. I have all of this written out in great detail. The following week brought a massive rainfall combined with temperatures in the 50s to completely obliterate what was still a 2' snowpack in the matter of 8-10 hours. By Saturday the main stem Susquehanna was way out of its banks. 24 minutes ago, Superstorm said: Actually the clipper only dumped about 3” of snow. Another storm a couple days later dropped 11”.

And this is why I think that monster storm on the 12z yesterday will happen. It's the pattern buster. It'll also be the last hurrah of a winter that kinda wasn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hunch from a couple days ago still has a shot at something. Hope so, and if not, well just another way to fail. Me thinks a nice little WAA event would ease the pain of us snow starved ones, while those that have concrete base just get a refresher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not holding my breath on this one, it’s over a week out. If I had to bet, there will be a good snowfall somewhere, but it really could be anywhere if it does happen.

That would shut just about everything down for a few days I would imagine, given the lack of snow removal equipment, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
