Blizzard of 93

That’s encouraging! Hopefully I switch back as well. Right now the sleet is pounding away. @Itstrainingtime , I just measured.3 of sleet, to got along with the 1.5 of snow, which brings me to 1.8 frozen for the event so far. I only need .2 more for your forecast to verify here !

Yes, it is also odd that MDT for the last 2 hours has had Obs of “Fog/Mist”, but has recorded .12 of precip combined in those 2 hours. Hopefully they account properly for the sleet for the storm total later on.

There was no sleet in Harrisburg for the storm if my memory serves me correct. I was only 15 back in 1993, but the 2 feet of snow & wind was beyond epic.

We flipped to mostly sleet with occasional light flakes mixed in around 2 pm. Surprisingly Epic sledding conditions with my kids for the last hour. As of 230pm, we have 1.5 inches of snow/sleet combo. Hopefully the heavy sleet gets me over the 2 inch mark later on for the event !

I still am holding onto all snow for now in Marysville.

Here’s one last look at the 12z Euro for this storm.

Heavy snow now in Marysville.

Moderate snow started back up in Marysville about 10 minutes ago.

I am anticipating that your 2-4 forecast will verify! Many us now only need another inch or so of snow for it to verify at least on the lower end. Another 2 hours or so of decent snow should make your forecast verify.

Here’s CTP’s latest snow map.

Nice ! I swiped these maps from the Mid-Atlantic thread. The cold air at both levels seems wedged in much deeper over the eastern half of PA. Hopefully that bodes well for a few hours of good snow when the rates pick back up.

Here’s the latest Critical Thickness map.

Light snow continues in Marysville even during the mini lull in the radar. The snow should be picking back up in intensity soo. The radar looks to be blossoming & filling in rapidly in central & western PA.

We have about.3 on the ground as well now here in Marysville with steady moderate snow continuing. It’s a beautiful wintry Saturday morning. I just got back from a nice @Jebman walk. The cold & snow hitting my face was a dream that came true. I realize that this is only a minor event, but any snow just makes me so happy !

Yes, same here in Marysville! Moderate to heavy snow & all surfaces quickly caved !

Nice ! CTP Radar is showing the precip filling in behind the initial band over the western half of PA.

Please let us know how that initial band does for you. Also, do you think the precip will begin to fill in more between the initial band & the main shield in Ohio ?

That forcing looks good for the LSV. Hopefully it will help to sustain good precip rates to fight off the mixing as long as possible tomorrow. We will also need to keep our eye on the critical thickness levels as well.

I think most of us would get onboard the 0z HRRR.

It’s nice to not need to worry about temps tomorrow morning for a change.

The 12z GFS was a little better for MDT, but no complaints if they put 4 inches of snow in the books tomorrow.

Thanks @anotherman ! Here is the 18z Euro. Between the 2 on the Euro & the 4 on the GFS for my yard, the 2-4 forecast from Monday going by storm type made by @Itstrainingtime looks to be on track, or should I say, on board !

The dew points are currently in the single digits across the eastern half of PA. This arctic air seems to be ready for a fight! I am all aboard the @pasnownut snow train to max out this event tomorrow!

Speaking of the weather, here is another view of the 18z GFS. I have no complaints for my yard! @canderson & @sauss06 would approve as well !
