Yeah, cam is tilted now, but somehow still up.

And now it's seems to have met the inevitable

Roads are a sheet of ice in Middletown.  Back roads especially bad.  I went 2/3 of the way up a nice hill, did a slide and spin and returned down the way I'd come.  Haven't done that since I lived in Michigan 

Moderate to occasionally heavy snow here.  Looks beautiful.

Crazy reading the last page or 2 how close so many of us are geographically yet experience such different results this time of year.  Whenever covid eases, we should have a gathering.  I can only imagine how different most of us are in person versus how we are perceived on this board.

That would be fun!  I'm 5 miles WNW of Etown right inside Dauphin County

Really is that a official measurement from the airport? im less then 10 mins away and i had over 6 inchs last night and now im just a shy under 10. I remember years ago the news had harrisburg has a total of 17 inchs middletown has 12 I lived right next to the airport where they measure for harrisburg. how can you be that off for 2 measurements ? harrisburg airport and middle town measure the same place lol

Nothing official.....just my driveway and choosing the best location to measure from.  The sleet has quite obviously packed in the toral measurement as I didn't get one in before it started.  So you most certainly have the more accurate measurements.

4" since Noon in Middletown...nearly all in the last 2 hours.  Storm total is 8" with a hefty dose of sleet in that.

Puking snow for at least the last 30 min. in Middletown

Thank you. Sleeting like hell now at work in Harrisburg.

Right.  When do we think it will switch back to snow?

Mod sleet just started 10 minutes ago, what do you guys use to see the sleet line? Is it advancing still or should we switch back to snow soon in the LSV?

Same here.  Heard it start 

Nice steady snow now in MDT

First call (Horst did say that Lanco could go higher (or lower) and this represents his middle ground:

That horrendous red line is right over my house.  If I looked up I could see it, but I'm pretending it doesn't exist.

This is all looking quite lovely!

The course curriculum will not involve a ton of meteorology, but you can project meteorological data with GIS if you like. The NWS maintains a comprehensive dataset of GIS shape files that you can use to map warnings, storm reports, best tracks, etc. I have used the data in some of my class projects, which usually give you creative control. It's quite fun to manipulate if you ask me. 

That's along what I was thinking, but are there GIS jobs to help do data mapping for Meteorology?

Heavy rain in Middletown with some flakes mixing in.

Heavy rain in the city. I love 33 and pouring rain. Ugh.  

33 and rain for me too.  So it goes.

I'm considering returning to school for a GIS degree.  I grew up loving meteorology and loving maps (of course!)  I changed my mind at the last minute after being accepted to school for meteorology, mainly due to a boyfriend and not wanting to leave town....ah 18 year olds!  In any case, I don't feel like my brain does math the same at age 40 and don't think heading into meteorology would be wise.  I've been pondering GIS and wondering if that degree ever overlaps or has relevance in meteorology at all.  Thanks!

Around 9-10" here in Middletown with 4 hours of heavy sleet.  Its a bear to shovel....sticky as all get out!  Anyone bored?? Lol

Already up to 6" and now mixing sleet in Middletown 

Very heavy now in Middletown! Currently 4" with 1.5" in the last hour.

Yes, those 3k NAM snow maps that I just posted on the last page drop the hammer on Harrisburg & all of I-81 in PA. The hourly panels were spectacular.

Praying that pans out!  I'm ready for some snow!!

Harrisburg and Carlisle up through Northeast PA is buried this run!

Beautiful

During the Jan 2016 storm, Cumberland County was fortunate to remain under the "Death Band" for 3 hours.  The snow rates during that period were 3.5" / hour.  I got 10" in like 3 hours. Ended up with 35" total in the end.  Biggest storm of my life.

You gotta like this run for Lanco!

I was in Shippensburg.  It was glorious!  I had 34"
