Blizzard of 93

Great post from the New England thread… Maybe 1 more chance?

Thanks for researching this info! I thought that something was off with their measurements and final tally. There is no way that 0 precip and additional snow was not recorded between those 2 hours of early afternoon heavy snow. It would be great if you or @Cashtown_Coop or someone with a contact at CTP could reach out to them to have them look into this and possibly make a revision if they find an error. We only have 2 official recording locations for CTP snow-Harrisburg & Williamsport. It would be great if they made an effort to get it right for the sake of history.

10 minutes after I posted this it stopped & the radar fell apart! The mountains won again against a Clipper…

CTP now has this for the Harrisburg area. This Afternoon A chance of snow before 5pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 37. Southwest wind around 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Same here, it kind of took me be surprise. This is now the 3rd day this week that we are getting snow!

This Clipper looks to be tracking well to the south of where it was modeled even on this morning’s model runs. The radar looks solid & decent precip looks to be staying together over the mountains.

Yes, this is remarkable in March with full sun as well.

I agree…I’ve never had a problem with the time change either. More daylight after work in the evening is great for time in the yard with my kids or more time to take a family walk with our dog.

The ensembles yesterday all showed a good looking pattern for late season winter weather chances during the last week of March.

Yes, all of the ensembles today now show the trough back in the east in 12 to 14 days. Maybe we have 1 more chance before March is done?

Marysville snow photo from today before a little sledding with my daughters.

MDT as of the 5 pm climate summary recorded 3.0 inches today. I didn’t realize that MDT also recorded 0.8 inches of snow for the Wednesday event. The March total snow right now stands at 3.8 inches.

My final tally in Marysville after several backyard measurements in protected areas was 5.3 inches of snow. Great Warning level event here! Still occasional light snow here now.

Snow had picked back up again here in one of these streamer bands that made it down here.

I’m getting worried about the MDT measurement. They reported .5 mile visibility at 1pm & 2pm but recorded no precip in the last hour…. Let’s just call that very unlikely…lol!

Down to light snow in Marysville now. Great event here with over 5 inches of snow! I will try to get a final measurement before I start to shovel & clean up the cars. My temp is 24

MU made it too!

I was overdue for a bullseye!

At 1pm MDT reported Snow with .5 mile visibility.

Heavy snow now in Marysville at 1:15 pm. It might be the best rate & flake size combo of this event so far!

Sounds a lot like my yard around Noon. Snow never stopped here in Marysville, so I’m certainly over 5 inches here now.

Did snow pick back up again for you?

Hopefully the MDT observer can get an accurate measurement with all of the wind. The CTP website being down won’t help with the official stats either unless they are back up & running soon.

This band looks legit & extends back to Cumberland,MD & Bedford, PA. Hopefully everyone gets a couple more hours of snow. Moderate snow continues in Marysville.

I just measured in several protected spots in the yard and measured 4.75 of snow as of 12 pm in Marysville. Moderate snow continues. Winter Storm Warning is about to verify in Marysville once I cross 5 inches soon!
