Meteorological winter starts tomorrow so I think it’s time to start this thread. We have a storm threat for Tuesday that looks like rain/slop for I-95 but N&W areas could see something plowable. Some fantasy range threats on the GFS/Euro too that can hopefully become something as we get closer. Let’s get this party started!

Flakes a flying in Exton! 

 

I have a family funeral Tuesday so yeah I am planning on a 3-6" event which will be fun to walk through the cemetery in nice shoes. 

We had 3 inches of snow with temps in the low teens the day of my father in law's funeral and burial. It was quite the interesting (and sad) day as he passed Christmas morning, then was buried just before New Years.

Sorry to hear about your loss. 
 

My grandmother’s funeral was during a snowstorm in 1987. I was a pole barer. They did their best clearing off the church steps. But all I could think about walking down them wearing dress shoes with no traction was slipping and dropping the casket…I’d never be invited to another family function again!

So we are looking at a potential true Miller A type of storm for Tuesday with the L coming out of the gulf states and a cold air source to the North. When was the last time we saw type of setup? It’s been a while. 

The models have shown only one positive thing in the last two weeks for a major pattern change and a possible major snow event for us but when it will ever occur will just be plain luck.  If you old timers recognize the current major pattern shift on the last weeks runs which we have not seen in nearly 6-10 years is identified as the four corner lows which are developing and pushing into the Gulf of America. Then these lows are quickly re-energized with a ton of moisture and are setting up for a good Miller A type of storm event- rain or snow along the east coast.  The lows  south of New Orleans into Tampa are impressive on the model runs. This is the best look in model runs in a long time  as it  appears the GOA is opening back up for business, however these low pressure systems are also quickly becoming southern sliders too.  The cold dry air that does come through with a cold front is NOT retreating back up into Canada so quickly before the moisture reaches us. Would not be surprised if the Carolina's up to Washington DC sees more accumulating snow then us  this year. This pattern is slowly setting up for a lot nuisance mix storm events snow/sleet to rain for our area if this keeps up. A pure snow event will be hard to come by in the next few weeks

The snow has just about ended and looks to be mixed with drizzle now. The 0.5" of snow we recorded in East Nantmeal this morning will make November 2025 the "snowiest" November since the 7.3" of snow we saw back in November 2018. This is the 10th November in the 22 years I have been at this location that we have received measurable snow during our 11th month.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I too have a funeral on Tuesday.
