Blizzard of 93

6z Euro & 6z Euro AI for this coming weekend. Might be time to buckle up again…!

CTP is starting to ramp up the language for this weekend’s potential. KEY MESSAGE 2: Potential East Coastal Storm Threat this weekend There is a growing guidance signal for the development of a potentially impactful weekend coastal storm along the Eastern Seaboard. We will continue to monitor given risk of snow and wind impacts.

I just looked out again & there is steady light snow falling currently despite nothing showing on radar.

Radar looks to be filling in a bit to our southwest for our last round tonight.

Yes, 18z Euro looks good per Mid Atlantic thread.

Still mostly sleet with a few light flakes mixed in. Still Accumulating…

@canderson We are alive & well in the MDT measurement contest. The 5 pm climate summary has MDT at 11.0 today. If we get another inch or so with the last part of the storm, you & I will be battling for the crown! We will need to see what they officially put in the books overnight, but usually it’s close even if they make a slight adjustment.

I’ll take! Looks like they refreshed the Warning a little over an hour ago.

I’ve picked up an additional 1.5 of mostly sleet & a little snow with the early afternoon mixing. My Marysville combined total as of 4:30 pm is 9.0” Moderate sleet is still ongoing.

Latest HRRR says Harrisburg area could flip back to a little snow over the next couple of hours as the mix line sags south a bit.

But do you or anyone have a link to the correlation coefficient radar?

Do you have a link to this? I can’t find it on CTP’s page. Any signs of it sagging back south a bit?

Does anyone know how the “snow depth” measurements work on the regional observations at MDT? The 7 am snow depth showed 3 inches and the 1 pm snow depth said 7 inches. Do they “clear the board” every 6 hours and start fresh? With 1.1 QPF through 1 pm, there should no way MDT only has a depth of 7 at this time right?

Dare I say… best rate & flake size now in Marysville!

Lol, you asked me to post it!

12z Euro

Back to mostly snow in Marysville!!! Don’t eff with the Euro, lol!

Do you want the snow map or the frames with precip types?

For what it’s worth, the 12z Euro didn’t back down and still had predominantly snow from the turnpike on to the north in the LSV this afternoon & evening and stuck to its 12 to 15 total. Not sure what that means, if anything At this point.

As of 12:30 in Marysville I had 7.5 inches of snow. Sleet unfortunately has mixed in. I cleared my unofficial outdoor snow table, so let’s see what I get the rest of the day with the mixed precip.

Lol, no it wasn’t me, but we saw the Marysville number & the family applauded.

MDT is already at .92 precip as of noon with all snow recorded thus far. Mix is imminent, so a couple of inches of sleet are not out of the question with observations to our south. I think @canderson & both went with a little over 12 at MDT. I think we are both still alive in the contest, lol! The guesses above 12 are likely out of it.

When they mix or change, accumulating sleet will still count. Long way to go

It’s not over… MDT still is reporting Heavy snow with .25 mile visibility at 11:56 am.
