This will likely be the last post of 2009 and I just wanted to take this time to express how grateful I am to have all of you as readers of the blog. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to come and see what’s going on in the world [...]

This will be a big story this weekend, especially in the Laurel Highlands and Northern Alleghenies. Some spots will pick up over a foot of snow by the early part of next week. If you live in State College, Altoona or Bedford and eastward, you’ll have little snow but a lot of cold and [...] A widespread 1-3 inches of snow fell over the area last night into this morning with our weak system. A second patch of snow/mix is possible later this evening into tonight as the system pulls away. There could be up to 1-3 inches more snow added on to areas mainly SE of the Laurel [...] It won’t be huge, but the snow will come down at a good clip at times, and make for tricky travel. Areas south and east of Altoona could have some ice mixing in with the snow at times, but it won’t amount to much. Here’s a look at our accumulation map: The system [...] Hey everyone… I just wanted to extend a warm welcome to our newest blogger, Zak Brisko. Zak is from Greencastle, PA, which is located just east of our viewing area in Franklin County. Currently a student at Penn State University, Zak spends a lot of time watching the weather. When he’s not looking at [...] I had the opportunity to visit San Francisco over the summer and had a blast. We went to Pier 39 and saw all of the sea lions just chilling in the docks. Now, it’s been discovered that the sea lions are missing. Where did they go? With piles and spots of snow left from the storm on the 19th, it’s time to get the ground covered again. Looks like tomorrow will bring the chance of the ground becoming all white with a 2-4″ maybe up to 6″ snowfall in spots. A weak system will move across the area bringing with [...] Here’s a list of snow totals from the National Weather Service for Monday night into Tuesday’s snow… We haven’t dealt with much lake effect snow this year so far, but that will change tonight and early Tuesday. The Laurel Highlands and Northern Alleghenies (usual spots) will see the highest snow totals through noon Tuesday, with most areas west of Route 219 picking up 2 to 4 inches of fresh powder. Some [...] Different people have different definitions of ‘White Christmas.’ To me, a White Christmas is either having a fresh coating of snow on the ground or having snow falling from the sky. Either one works for me. On the set tonight, I asked Marty and he said that snow on the ground is a White Christmas. I posed the same question to the twitterverse tonight, as well. Here’s what you had to say… Here’s a long-term discussion from the National Weather Service in Lubbock, Texas. I know some of the words won’t make sense, but it’s pretty good… Enjoy and Merry Christmas! LONG TERM… IT IS THE MORNING OF CHRISTMAS AND I AM BACK IN THE CHAIR TO BRING YOU THE LONG-TERM DISCUSSION WITH A BIT OF [...] We’re tracking Santa again this year. You can follow along here.

Check out this cool video taken in Brooklyn. It’s a timelapse of the snow storm they had last week.
December 2009 Snow Storm Time Lapse from John Huntington on [...] I’ve increased snowfall totals a bit tonight, as the fluff-factor should yield some higher totals. Take a look: The 1 to 3 inch area includes Ridgway, Emporium and Snow Shoe. 3 to 6 inches will run from Clarion to Clearfield to Huntingdon. 6 to 10 inches will run from Ligonier to Ebensburg to [...] Here’s our snowfall accumulation map: I’ll post later this evening with more specifics as the storm progresses. Everything looks on track tonight, with low pressure forming in the Gulf of Mexico. This storm will be severe off to our southeast, but close enough to give many of us a plow-able snow. The heaviest amounts will be south of Route 22 and east of Route 119. I’ll update the storm tomorrow evening [...] The weather pattern over the next two weeks is fully loaded. Now we just have to be on the lookout for something to trigger a storm. Everything is falling into place. The global indices are favorable for a storm in the eastern part of the country basically from now through the end of the [...] It looks likely right now that we’ll get some. The big question is….will there be a storm? A big storm? It’s possible, but it all depends on what happens in Canada. We’ll have one or two waves move up toward the Alleghenies late this week and into the weekend. If the vortex over Canada [...] It’s been over for over a month now and it’s time to take a look back at Hurricane Season 2009. Our sister station, WTOV-9, posted this on their blog. Have a look…
Well, our Wintercast says so! Seriously though, after a mild start to next week it looks like arctic air will be coming back. But how long will it last? Check out some of the maps that I use to determine the longer-range forecast: Take a look at the PNA-NAOÂ ensembles over the next 2 [...] |
