Ride Delaware ? Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Well folks, now that this quick moving storm dumped 6" of fluffy pow (or so I hear from reports), its time to start looking at the next one that could be arriving the middle of next week... This could be a typical Nor Easter from early reports, with that developing into a full blown blizzard in a majority of New England... It will set up like the past few storms... Storm from the west will meet with a storm coming up the east coast and potentially develop into a strong winter storm... Early indications show that the High Pressure in Canada should keep the warm air at bay in a majority of New England... However, there is a possibility that the mid-A could see an atmospheric battle that could lead to a mix reminiscent of the one we saw earlier this week... Cold air up top may have a warm air wedge driven into it with a cold surface temp which could lead to some mixing despite temperatures being in the mid 20s... Its honestly too early to tell if this storm will even fully develop, but if it does, and the cold air beats out the warm air, it could be quite the snow event, even in PA... Quote
bluemt1988 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 here's hoping for a bomb of a storm next week! Quote
sexkitten Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 OMG you guys are crazy. Don't talk about the snow this far out... you'll scare it away. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Posted January 22, 2011 Still looking promising for this upcoming week, even in the Pokes... Right now they are expecting the cold air to push out the warm air to make for an all snow event, but temps are borderline for the Lehigh Valley... Lets hope it gets a little colder and you reap the benefits of the storm... Should I take my brand new powder board to K-Mart, or should I just take my custom and my rock board for the trees? Quote
toast21602 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Sexkitten the past four storms were forecasted a week out. If we get dumped on you should take off work and learn to ski powder. I agree. Quote

If you have a powder board I would think you would want to bring it for a forecasted storm, but maybe I'm just stupid. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Posted January 22, 2011 Yeah, I decided to take my old and trusty downhill board and my powder board... I'm good to go... Quote
bluemt1988 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Wow people are really starting to talk this storm up it seems. Was in walmart today and must have heard about 5-6 people talking how this storm could produce 1-2ft. Must be reading on the hype machine ok by me! added stoke! Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Posted January 24, 2011 Your not a pro yet? Quote
Johnny Law Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 looks like a mix down south but should be fine further north Quote
AngryHugo Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 winter storm watches are already being issued for the southeast...2-4 inches expected for Huntsville Alabama..I wonder how many plows they have... Alabama has as many snowplows as teeth The local news will hype the shit out of it like they do for everything. Quote
RootDKJ Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 So what's the thinking on this one? Wednesday or Thursday? Oh yeah, NWS just issued some forecast totals Quote
Johnny Law Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) That's not including elevation This storm is kind coming in two parts, tues night and then wednesday. The track is all over the fucking place but what looks to happen is a mixing line from say reading to allentown. The mix will be short NOAA is saying less than an hour for Reading. What's important is the highest snow totals will come right along the mix line but with no mix. The Pocs will most likely do really well from this storm with probably very little to no mixing and some of the highest totals your going to see anywhere. Like everything this storm could move 50 miles and fuck us all but I just have a good feeling about the above. Gotta stay on this one lots of potential for fuck ups. Two scenarios have OTS and 3" of rain for the dolphins. Edited January 24, 2011 by Johnny Law 1 Quote
Johnny Law Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Should mention there are models showing 1.5 to 1.75 qpf in six hours, if that does end up being the case be super vigilant. There could be jack shit on the ground and then 3/4" and hour later, that's when shit gets really dangerous on the roads as the idiots didn't get enough warning and are stuck out fucking things up.

Johnny Law Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Blue mtn peeps have a line in mind, gotta get a sic pow shot if this snow comes lets get it done Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Posted January 25, 2011 Got up to Killington with the rents several hours ago... It was -6 in the car around 5:30... It got down to -11 before the front started coming through with this little clipper... Its now about -5 with temps rising throughout the night and tomorrow... Clipper is expected to yield 2"-5" with the most over the upper elevations, so if there is any upslope we should have a decent day tomorrow... They still aren't too sure on this storm... Earlier today they weren't sure if it was going to come this far west, but throughout the day they seem to be increasing the odds of it hitting... I'm hoping preliminary snow totals will come out tomorrow... The new powder board will be ready for Pico on Thursday if we get a decent snowfall... Trip report will be posted in the New England Thread... Quote
JFskiDan Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 this storms all over the place. like johnny law said, this could do real well for the poconos, provided it stays on track. but i am reading more like wednesday/thursday. Quote
DiMe Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Snowing in Brooklyn but the real storm I believe is down South going out to see then hooking back in to the north east. Hope it starts early so I can sick out and get a solid pow day. Quote
n0xidee Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 So is tomorrow day or night or thurs best time to go up? Quote
