Ruin

Dont know who is still up but the next model is at 4am right?

if this pans out it will be funny last year they forecasted way above normal snow way below normal temps it was opposite. this your I am hearing above average tamps just below on the snow. Id like to see them wrong again colder and snowier then normal

I was a bit skeptical about how long we'd keep the 'pack given the season we're in...sun has taken it's toll for sure but I still had solid cover outside of tree areas this this morning. 

Was also surprised to see my temp at 20.8 when I left for work. (it was 15 at 10pm last evening) 

the over night temps for the last 2 nights have buster way higher then foretasted we never got lower then 18. both nights had cloud cover with no fronts or Low's around has me pretty puzzled. over night lows were said to be near record 8 and 10 last 2 nights temps were 18 and 20.

Someone should tell ABC27 you don’t measure snow officially from a parking lot. Edit to add: I don’t mean to be snarky. But you are a meteorologist at a news station. 

 

 

they do this to downplay the snow accumulations. they have always under cut snow accumulations. they will claim its cause the normal ground had snow on it all ready. but a snow storm I remember a few years back MDT reported 14 inchs  then harrisburg airport reported 8 mind you both of them are reporteed from the airport. I chuckled and turned it off.  

I just looked at the radar dunno if it's a temporary pivot or back filling but I do see the more circular shield now vs before.

Whether a new coastal or becoming a coastal itself  the precip shield is transforming into more of a coastal like one even now.   The HRRR has the lowest pressure transfering from SW VA to the Central DelMarVa in one hour (it does not move that quickly) but as usual the models jump around to different points of Pressure sometimes.

Ah thank you  my local news weather guys just said it will end about 3am-4am when before it was midnight. so maybe something to the coastal thing and moving slower.

If you look at the HRRR and the western edge in Western PA, between hours 2 and 4 it basically stops moving while heavier returns over the eastern half of the state go from being East to West Alligned to more South to North.   My unprofessional opinion is that is due to the energy transitioning to a low at the coast and the shield becoming more circular as a result. If all goes close to this, people in the LSV, especially the further South and East you go, have a lot of heavy snow ahead of them.  3-4 hours 1-2"/hr snows. 

Oh its transferring energy to a new coastal? I thought this storm was just 1 storm all along. was riding from the south to nc then to off nj coast? at least thats what the tv mets were saying I didnt hear one time it was a classic transferring storm.

temps never made it to the forecast high today of 39 only to 34 down to 32 all ready snow has been sticky for a bit now maybe 2 1.2 hours  looking like a inch or so.

A pic of the banding setting up for southern  and East Central PA.   Radar may even take a traditional coastal look to at this point with returns blossoming in from the S/E instead of West.  

 

 

it would be nice if we got some classic wrap around to tho I dont think we will get much of a negative tilt.

hmm Major over running precipitation? 

i was hoping this would be a foot storm but ill take what we can get.

I think its funny when i hear people say its above freezing the snow wont stick to the roads. ive seen snow stick to roads at 41. also IO dont wanna see any posts about sun angle it snowed in mid to late april last year and laid on every thing. forecast high today was 44 in my area. only got to 39 tho cause of this temps were adjusted not to go as low tonight as they were earlier today reason why who knows lol. I looked at 5 different local sites and 2 national sites for temps in my area tomorrow. they range from 35 the lowest to 42 for some reason.  tho for last nights storm I had sleet at 34 id like some one to explain that one . for timing Ive seen it last till 3am on some sites others say 10pm still others say 6am so I have no clue.

I agree with you 100 %

There is a 6 inch snow storm on the way for at least the LSV tomorrow.

While I would love a foot plus event like most of us, I will take this event tomorrow all day. 

MDT after tomorrow will be well above normal snow & near 40 inches for the season.

Also, when was the last time that we had 3 separate accumulating snows with 4 days?

What I am trying to say is that we should enjoy this memorable stretch of winter!

the only thing that comes close Is 2011 if memory serves we had the back to back blizzards that year. one was like on a sun night-tuesday morning i think and the next one was late thursday into sat. all the weather guys around here were like not buying 2 blizzards back to back it just doesnt happen. well they all had egg on faces after that week.

this looks pretty healthy. why are people saying it looks strung out and weak? it has a nice solid shield of snow. strung out to me would mean patches of snow and some breaks.

Mostly all snow now temp 32 still hasnt started sticking.

Sunday I’m a bit “worried” it snows all day but not heavy enough so it melts on contact. Going to be pretty warm.

shouldnt really be a problem 1 models have trended colder last few runs. I didnt see todays tho. 2 the ground has fresh snow/pack that will help with any accumulation 

So im under a wwa tonight for 2-3 inchs. but last night was under nothing and I got a shade over 4 inchs lol 

it stopped about 5 or so am here. had close to 4 inchs. it started snowing lightly again at 7am picked up another .22 no melting going on at all temps are prime.

yep this is gonna be one of those storms when they called for a little you got a big dump. tho makes me worry for sunday into monday storm watch it miss us lol

whats funny my area got no wwa or anything no crews were pre treating roads at all. temp at the start was 32 now 26. gonna be a messy early AM

Looked outside everything pure white. some of the heaviest snow rates all season. I dont even have to look to the lights outside to see the snow. Radar at the moment is just derpy wrong looks like they are having radar problems tonight. took a whole area of snow and just shut it off from dark greens to nothing in minutes on accuweather. other radars show a full  snow in that area. I measured  just over 3 inchs all rdy pretty shocked.

I dont know if we are getting any systems to move through are area. but on the bright side the temps 2 days ago for my area were all mid 40s. then a few 50s a week plus out. now they are mostly 30s a few 40s then 1 day of 50 and rain. so bright side temps are going to be good for snow esp overnight in the low 20s

yeah this storm fell apart over night no plain rain at all.
