Bunch of 30”+ reports in that region. Blockbuster storm for them.

You should comment on the wind

Dropping a degree a minute with sustained winds down to 50

Temp just dropped 11 degrees in a few minutes and the wind is howling down to 52 and dropping

28 and white out conditions here at my house in Black Mountain.

Going to be a huge temp gradient setting up this week between WI and IL

Yea might’ve gusted to 20 finally

Bingo. SPC was way too gung ho on this anyways. Day 2 Moderate was insane for this setup

Very happy to see minimal impacts from the severe threat today! Now, let’s root for that changeover this evening. Temps are dropping like crazy over the western half of PA now. Latest GFS & HRRR last hour is bringing 1 to 2 inches of snow even to the LSV. It should be a fascinating weather evening. I might nap in the early evening & then wake up late night to watch it snow if the radar looks promising later on.

Not entirely accurate. Many departments and associated agencies were informed of the decision prior to noon and were told to leave NLT 2pm. It was not all at once.

Sad to hear, Roger and I shared a passion about moon phases and tidal current, and their interactions with weather systems. Big loss to our forum.

38.3°

They've finally pulled the trigger on a WWA. A little surprised it wasn't issued sooner, given the robust anafrontal precipitation shield.

Very sad to hear. Enjoyed his posts. RIP

I want to say it'll be mostly melted except for the piles by saturday afternoon

There have been some wind damage reports mainly in the York and Harrisburg areas so far. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/today.html

it's the same problem though. OPM directed everyone to basically leave at 2pm... everyone all at once. Only once have they ever staged it as "up to x hours leave, NLT then Y departure." You can also tell the normal reporting chains are not functioning, as it took forever for media to pick it up.

Is anyone staying up to see the changeover to snow? I have to be up very early so doubt I make it but wouldn’t mind getting some reports from those that do.

Was there severe weather anywhere in the state? This was being billed as the largest most severe threat in many years.

Moderate snow here in Monroeville.

It is not just the wind direction that is a factor. All day the flow was southerly and it still is. A very messy warm sector with low cloud cover and showers today is what tempered the severe weather risk. Powerful cold front moves through later this evening and that should be accompanied by a low-topped line. That could still tap into the strong wind field to produce areas of damaging winds.

Well, that was nothing. They shut down schools for this?

Added about 1/2 inch of snow from the NW this afternoon. Looks like more upstream as dark approaches. Temp is down to 30.
