famartin Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Something like that. The upcoming storm resulted in some anger/frustration I believe. Can't control the weather, some people will never learn. Its unbelievable that it would happen after the winter you guys have had already. I guess snow really is a drug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksCO_PA Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 LOL - checking out DT's Facepage for the 1st time today & it looks like he's added a "Jay Hatem" to his staff at WXrisk. Jay appears to have been given enough responsibility to issue "Alerts" following threatening model runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daxx Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Snowpack down to 11" here, I hope to tack some on before the changeover to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 This is probably obvious, but right now I'm thinking 1-3" for Trenton followed by ice late Monday night->Tuesday, then a break... then ice to rain Tuesday night->Wednesday. If there is indeed a break (which I'm hoping for very much), I'll probably just archive the first part... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardlover Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Ok, I think this is the appropriate forum to ask this question... I'm scheduled to drive from Newark, DE to Hagerstown, MD on Tuesday night after work for a rather large business meeting. I am bringing two colleagues with me, plus there are folks driving from NYC. About 20 others are going to be flying into BWI and/or Dulles on Tuesday night. I am not thrilled at ALL about the forecasts and need to make a decision relatively soon as to whether or not we should cancel this business meeting. What are folks thoughts about the travel severity driving along I-70 west, as well as inbound air traffic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellice Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 What has happened to NWS websites? They are not fully functioning. I know they are hit very heavily during storms, but it's hard to believe that the offices which can call upon such heavy duty supercomputers start malfunctioning just when they are most needed. Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_AR_ Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 So what's the scoop on the friday/saturday storm for our area? The main thread is 95% only analysis for I95 south and east as usual.I head it could be a slushy few inches for NEPA, but from all I've seen it looks like low qpf back this way.

The GFS again is marginal. The NAM least interesting. I would think NE PA (potentially) ends up with a few slushy inches, I guess its not out of the question either for SE PA either, but that area will be fighting issues like marginal low level temps, unfavorable time of day and potentially intensity of precipitation issues. Definetely still worth watching. Maybe its a stronger thump like the GEM shows and temps. work out just right aloft for several inches of heavy wet snow in part of eastern PA.

Right now I'd probably call for light rain to start - maybe a period of sleet - and then a slushy 2-3 inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adk Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 2-3 inches of snow would do wonders for the ice sheet that are much of Philly's sidewalks. People...when snow melts during the day and ponds on the sidewalk...it's going to freeze overnight. put some salt down. I could have skated to work.
