RootDKJ Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Time to get a thread going for this next storm. AN ACCUMULATING SNOW IS EXPECTED FROM MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY, WITH A FEW INCHES POSSIBLE. THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY MAY RECEIVE SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW. A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION IS ANTICIPATED FROM LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY. THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THAT TIME PERIOD IS ICE. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATION. Snow-forecast.com is calling for around 5 inches at Blue on Tuesday and then .7 inches of ncp on Wednesday morning. Quote
RootDKJ Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Posted January 31, 2011 Powder Morning Tuesday??? I am behind the curve and haven't checked any info on this storm on the accuweather storms. It sure seems like a long duration event..sort of unusual is the majority of our winter weather storms have been 4-8 hour ordeals... I'm thinking that Tuesday RAW right now... Quote
n0xidee Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Might be off from work this whole week. Might head up a few different days this week. Quote
bluemt1988 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 yes! that's why they started making the liquid base. haha Quote
JFskiDan Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 this storm has awesome potential to suck. Quote
JFskiDan Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Cold surface temperatures with warm air aloft is the recipe for sleet and freezing rain..roads are gonna be a mess.. won't suck for powder skiing tomorrow morning...for me anything frozen is positive...net gain to the snowpack.. tomorrow morning will be good for skiing, but the sleet/freezing rain could be a considerable amount - roads are gonna be a mess, really high potential for widespread power outages as well. we will get a good forecast when its all over. some people think it will be colder LV and north....wait and see kind of storm.

RootDKJ Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Posted January 31, 2011 Looking good for Carbon County Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 this storm has awesome potential to suck. Yeah, this one could be a buzzkill with the ice in the forecast, I think I'll sit tight and just watch this develop and how the roads/powerlines are afffected. Elk and Catskills are forecasting 6-15". Oddly, the VT forecast is 2-4" right now. Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 What Vermont forecast are you looking at...I'm seeing 16-24+ inch storm totals for southern and mid-Vermont..less in Northern VT..more like 8-16 but they'll get more snow on the back edge...the 2nd part of the storm will have gulf moisture. It is not written in stone that we'll get major ice in the Poconos..might be more of an icing problem in southern PA..alot of uncertainty between I-78 and Root 80.. Moe you thinking of packing up the Moe-tel and chasing some Pow?? I was looking at the snow watcher page on TWC.com, but I just pulled up the NOAA weather alerts which make more sense. The Moe-tel is mothballed for the time being, I'm needed at home, so day trips are about the only way to go for me, unfortunately. I'm hoping in a week or 2, Mrs. Moe will be able to handle things on her own so I can get out for some 2-4 day trips. I've got cash, no kids, no job, 10 pairs of skis and I can't go anywhere. Fahk me. Quote
toast21602 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 5-10 for the LV and then a change to some sort of mix. Quote
toast21602 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 slow moving storm. looks like the midnight prediction of it starting will be a little off. afternoon session at Blue might be the best bet, unless it's already a mix by then. Quote
toast21602 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 funny I thought this storm was moving fast based on the radar..I'm guessing a 2AM start time for the snow..anyway I'm guessing it will be best while Toast is there.. i can only hope. Quote
snorovr Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Snowing in the Willow Grove PA area. Looks like more coming on the radar. Quote
toast21602 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Snow and ice mix here. Not looking like the snow event we were all hoping for. Quote
toast21602 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 I'll head out to the ER in a little to check things out Quote
RootDKJ Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 OK...wanted a 6am update...it's snowing lightly and it looks like almost an inch new so far. I haven't looked at the maps or discussiong yet to see when it will change to sleet/freezing rain and what's up with the development of this storm. I've got about the same. Don't know if there's any freezing crap involved until I go out to clear the cars. Quote
moe ghoul Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Things look slick down here and I haven't seen any traffic on our street. Hope you guys get some snow up there. Quote
moe ghoul Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Northbound NE extension apparently is blocked by an accident as of about 1/2 hour ago, FYI, if anyone is headin up, check the traffic reports. Quote
phillycore Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 It's a skating rink around here, forget the skis...break out the ice skates Quote
RootDKJ Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 It's a skating rink around here, forget the skis...break out the ice skates Or snowlerblades. Mostly rain coming over on 78 which turned into a sleet storm in Pberg. 22 is pretty greasy. Hmmmmm WaWa. Quote
toast21602 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Not going up. Freezing rain here. ER is packed. Might not get out on time. What a bust of a storm. Quote
moe ghoul Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Not going up. Freezing rain here. ER is packed. Might not get out on time. What a bust of a storm. El sucko. BTW, thanks for the updates this AM. I'm heading up to Plattekill tomorrow for Powder daize Thursday and Friday. Sounds like they may get some good dumpage. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 GSS said the first 4 runs were great, but then serious ice crust. Ouch. We never got the snow event that we were expecting overnight. Looks like the ice is coming sooner then expected Quote
moe ghoul Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Hoping that happens for Blue, right now they're calling for a rain event down here, maybe some sleet. Quote
