Snowmageddon 2022 (1 Viewer)

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Final verdict?

 

[CurlyNight]

It's been spring like here since, well, October when the temp fell a few degrees.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Final verdict?

Final verdict looks like 1 to 3 inches for SE PA. There is a slight chance of more, but it looks like this will be a minor event for us. Even the 1 to 3 inches probably won't stick to the pavement. May see some icy spots in the morning, but the snow will be gone very quickly.

The system is still one of the biggest that's formed in a long time. Nova Scotia will end up seeing a snow hurricane before all is said and done. If this would have trekked further west than east, we'd be comparing this to the Blizzard of '93.

But it didn't. So we won't.

Looks like this will be the last snow event of the season. Now we move on to high pollen counts.

Crazy this thing may have the pressure of a cat3 hurricane.

No joke. This is a monster of a storm.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Probably not the best time to post this, seeing as it's April Fool's Day, but it looks like there may be one last attempt at a snow storm for the Mid Atlantic early next week. Looks to be a possible coastal storm. As of this morning, most areas would see rain, but there is a chance that places further inland could see that rain change over to snow.

Seeing as that would be almost the middle of April, it would have to be a pretty heavy snowfall to have any effect on the region. But early models are hinting that heavy snowfall could very well happen.

 

[TheIronSheik]

So you can guess by now, the reason I never said anything after the April 1 post was because it ended up being a rain event.

Something interesting showed up overnight on the Euro model run. A HUGE winter storm for the Mid Atlantic that the models are saying 1 to 3 feet of snow possible. Yes, feet. But most sites laughed it off as an anomaly. There is little evidence that this would actually happen and it was assumed that it would be gone by today's model run. Oddly enough.... it wasn't.

Still, even though the Euro is dead set on a huge snow storm for the end of next week, most meteorologists aren't believing it. With 9 to 10 days out, it is something to keep an eye on. Who knows, maybe an Easter snow storm?

If I did, we'd have way more snow in the winter.

Why does this thread keep coming back up? Shiek, quit bumping this ####. I'm convinced it's somehow causing cold weather. If we stop bumping it and just let it die, it'll get warm.

####! I just bumped it. 3 more weeks of winter thanks to Puxatawney Fat Nick.

 

[Sinn Fein]

And, just for good measure more snow in KY!!!

 

[playin4beer]

3" overnight here... "Lake Effect".... i'm so ####### sick of this mother####ing weather..

 

[TheIronSheik]

I told you guys it was coming.

 

[The Hank]

I'm blaming this on you!

 

[Otis]

Freeze warning in NY. 2014 so far pretty sucky year.

 

[TheIronSheik]

After last night, the Mid Atlantic can officially close the book on snow for this winter/spring.

 

[glock]

Some people here refused to acknowledge the snow on their windshields this morning. One clown I saw hadn't even attempted to scrape his windshield. Coming towards me he/she started to pull over onto the shoulder and I figured a scraping was going to ensue, but the driver apparently figured that "toughing it out" was instead the best option.

I could not see the driver through the ice/scow.

 

[fantasycurse42]

There was ####### snow on the cars this morning... Unreal!

 

[Rohn Jambo]

This is probably the last snow before the next winter. See you in Sissymageddon 2015.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Don't worry. No snow in the near future.

Just wanted to update in here since the initial winter 2014/15 forecasts are starting to come out. And the early reports predict that this coming winter will be colder (yes, colder than last) and snowier.

Large amounts of sea ice around the South Pole as well as sea ice at the North Pole not retreating at the pace it usually does will be the main culprit. Add in the Great Lakes still iced over, the Northeast seems to be the big loser (unless you like cold temperatures and lots of snow) in the coming winter.

Winter will come early this year. You want a prediction about the weather, you're asking the wrong Phil. I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life. Or at least until Spring of 2015.

19% of the Great Lakes are still covered in ice as of yesterday...

It's our first sunny and 60 degree day and you gotta kick me in the 2014/15 snowballs...not cool, man... thanks for ruining summer

I was just about to post that the Lakes were still 26% covered as of May 1st. Makes me glad I moved to south Florida, where it's been pretty mild this year, just a few "cooler" days.

I'm in the strange minority that loves the cold and snow, my wife and I would live in Alaska if feasible. While that forecast sounds good, long range forecast verification is poor at best. One of the most highly respected forecasters that I follow, not a media hound but a behind the scenes researcher and forecaster with a solid track record, last year forecasted a milder than normal winter based on a number of legitimate "signals" he observed. We all know how that turned out.

The pattern has held up over the summer.

While the fall will kick off with days of sunshine and temperatures above normal in some of the region's largest cities, including New York City and Philadelphia, the polar vortex may make its return for short, sporadic periods in September.

"The vortex could slip at times, maybe even briefly in September for the Northeast," AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok said. "There could be a significant shot of chilly air that comes across the Great Lakes region and into the interior Northeast sometime in mid- to late-September."

As conditions in northern Canada begin to set up similar to last fall, getting colder and unsettled quickly, it is likely that this pattern could become a source for colder air to make its way down at times into the United States, inducing a drop in temperatures for the interior Northeast during mid-fall.

"Temperatures will not be as extreme in November when compared to last year, but October could be an extreme month," Pastelok said.

After short-lived days of the polar vortex in September, the weather should turn a bit warmer in November as rain ramps up across areas from New York City to Boston and Portland, Maine, as well as the rest of the region.

"We will see some dry weather in the Northeast, barring any tropical systems, in September and October but in November it will get wet," Pastelok said.

Following a soaking November for Northeastern residents, El Niño will make its debut early this winter, fueling early winter snow across the area.

"December could get kind of wild due to the very active southern jet stream that is going to provide the moisture for bigger snowstorms," Pastelok said. "The Northeast could have a couple of big storms in December and early January."

Summer here has been remarkably cool. Only used AC 1 day, I think.

[Steve Tasker]

Article in today's paper suggests a polar vortex in September with potentially very cold temperatures. Sweet.

Also says this:

“December could get kind of wild due to the very active southern jet stream that is going to provide the moisture for bigger snowstorms. The Northeast could have a couple of big storms in December and early January,” Pastelok said.

AccuWeather was the first out of the gate with 2015 winter forecasts. The latest issues of the Old Farmer’s Almanac, which was founded in 1792, and the Farmers’ Almanac, founded in 1818, will be out within a month or so. But a news release from the Old Farmer’s Almanac, which is due out Sept. 9, somewhat echoes AccuWeather’s forecast.

“Another teeth-chatteringly cold winter is on its way!” the release states. “With its traditionally 80 percent-accurate weather forecasts, the Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts that this winter will be another arctic blast with above-normal snowfall throughout much of the nation.”

I like the AC on. But I like it set to 72. GF likes the windows open but then I always feel like even if it's not really hot, it's still not comfortable. Constant struggle. Usually I only get the AC on if it's over 82 degrees.

I've been holding at 78. And turn it on at 83-85ish. I have found that closing window shades/blinds when it is sunny has helped tons.

But my issue is the stupid way my house is set up, with a single zone, and the thermostat on the middle floor. Even adjusting the airflow, I am stuck with a freezing top floor in the summer and a boiling basement in the winter. Not to mention that it keeps my stuff running all the time...$$$ gone... :(
