YAY!

TIS is no longer missing or dead!

This morning's two hour delay as a result of the ice, turned into a school closing real quick like. I wonder what happened at the school busery?

This morning's two hour delay as a result of the ice, turned into a school closing real quick like. I wonder what happened at the school busery?

The changeover was always going to be an issue of "when". My guess would be that they put out the initial 2 hour delay and then went and evaluated how the roads were doing.

This event could have been bigger, but the early start last night actually warmed the ground up. Sucks because I had hoped to be working from home today.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Also, the late week "event" is looking more and more like it's heading out to sea. Looks like January could be a bust for snow lovers. February has potential, but time's running out quickly as winter holds and plays stall ball.

 

[3C's]

Winter is over! Get out the bikinis!

 

[TheIronSheik]

Looks like the next best chances will be around the 26-28th time frame. And around Feb 1-2 time frame. That one would be nice. I'd love a blizzard for my birthday.

Your birthday is in February? Are you sure you're not me?

When I'm at home I'm you. You're going to blow our cover, jackass.

JACKASS?!?! You need to buy me a wristwatch before you get to call me those kinds of names.

ugh, was hoping it wouldn't pan out but looks like we're in for freezing rain and some crappy roads tonight/tomorrow.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Looks like the models are backing off the "blistering heat" they called for next week. I put that in quotes because I've been seeing a lot of people talking about a "huge" warmup coming next week. It's weird how when someone says "above average temps" people automatically assume Springtime temps. Sadly, in January, upper 30's can be considered above average temps.

Anyway, stick a fork in it. Doesn't look like it's happening. So put away the swim trunks. But what the models are hinting at is something brewing off the coast for the 18th-19th. Considering yesterday it looked like we may not see anything fun to track for a couple of weeks, even a small chance is better than nothing. Stay tuned!

 

[El Floppo]

That's a lot of Flops! http://mashable.com/2015/01/06/weather-service-supercomputers-petaflops/

I am looking forward to using the newer models at work, as this article is dead on with not much reliability beyond 7-10 days. HRRR also was dead on last week with a weak snow band moving through western Ohio.

In this thread, I get to tell you to stop complaining about flops. Take that, soccerboy!

Another possible chance would be around the 24th. Not completely sold on this one, but it has potential.

A possible good news for Northeast snow lovers, some models (the Euro not being one of them, unfortunately) are hinting at possible blocking setting up for us. We haven't had that pretty much for the past couple of winters. So even though January hasn't quite panned out yet, the middle to end of winter is definitely looking promising.

 

[Fat Nick]

It needs to snow like crazy in February. I'll be done with our year-end close at work, and I've got a bathroom I'd love to start remodeling. Giving me a reason to stay at home would be awesome.

Brand new GFS model ran its first ever run, and it shows a massive storm around the 23rd-24th time frame. Like, really massive. Like ginormous. Let's hope the new GFS is better than the old GFS. I'd really like to see this one come to fruition.

I was at ground zero for that mofo. I was like 3y/o so my memories are spotty, but my dad build me a monster snow fort and I remember military vehicles driving by our house just off of Elmwood ave near our house. We were right next to Rodger Williams Park before it went bad. Those trucks were scary BTW. Good times.

Me too, I was in second grade on the South Shore near Boston (Hingham). Missed at least a week of school, some of the dads in the neighborhood were stuck on the way home from the city after going to the Bean Pot that nite. Tons of snow for kids ready for it. Snow forts were spectacular!

A couple other model runs are entertaining the same idea of something big in this time frame. But even more important, a lot of models seem to be catching on to the idea of amplification and blocking patterns. You don't get "Blizzards of 78" without this type of blocking in place. Very favorable pattern possibly setting up for very late January into February.

Still no power. Getting a little chilly in here.

How long has it been out?

Came on half an hour ago so it was out about 7 hours.

Looks like after today's runs, this may actually happen. Maybe not so much in my neck of the woods, but could be a good hit for NE. Still holding out hope for me, though.

Mid Feb, thinking President's Day weekend, we've gotten huge storms in the past during this timeframe. Pretty far out I know....

 

[Parrothead]

weather channel's 10-day forecast is showing 3-5 inches of snow for SE PA Jan 23

 

[Mr. Ected]

Told my kids this morning that there was going to be a big enough storm coming to likely cancel school this Monday.

They were excited, until they realized they already had Monday off for MLK.

Don't ever believe that. All they are doing is pulling directly off of a model run. There is a good chance that a storm comes through during that period, as I noted above, but still a lot of uncertainties. A couple of the models have a huge storm for this period. We should know more next week about that storm. A lot depends on what happens this Sun/Mon with the first system.

where is the rain /snow line for this weekend's storm? looks like our neck of the woods (SE PA) is in for rain

Still being sorted out. This is a nasty little guy. Yesterday it looked like we'd get a cold rain, if anything. But now it's trying it's damnedest to stick around with the cold air. I'm hoping a little later this afternoon, we can get a better look at it. Right now, I'm still thinking it's a cold rain for us. But I'm trending towards snow.

This is great parenting shtick. I endorse.

A meteorologist I know and respect very much just posted saying that he's really liking the chances of the 23/24 storm.

Any R.I. snow coming? I have not watched TV in a week. Tia

Looking like a cold rain. But again, still too early to tell.

Thats typical lately. The ground is frozen solid though. Its been very cold here for weeks now.

Just breaking out of an awful cold snap up here in Michigan. Finally in the 20's and feels like a heat wave.

Snowfall:

33" on the ground

167.50 Total

Some of these posts are hilarious.

Hey bub, we had flurries overnight. Panic was the word for a few hours.

Was actually at work overnight (need sleep) and the place I was visiting had the news on. They had some guy driving around with a cameraman in the passenger seat filming the "event".

Oh yeah, 350 inches total last winter. Stop complaining about snow and embrace it.

I would say that most people in this thread are snow lovers. The majority are, at least.

Just playin Sheik. Only read a few pages. Haven't been the FFA in quite some time. It's nice here.

So far, Pittsburgh has had all of 7.5" of snow this year; typical snow fall is 15".

Even better if it was zero inches.

Model runs today paint a cold rain for NJ and SE PA. But the pattern is setting up nice for the 24th. Could be some nice blocking, which in turn could mean higher snow totals. Long way to go, of course.

Just reading the models. Both the GFS and the Euro are liking the setup. Euro has a monster Nor'easter sliding up the coast. Looks like DC to Philly would be the bullseye. But of course, this is just a model, and we are 10 days out, so take that with a grain of salt.
