    Wow my total QPF here ended up being 1.2”. A real shame I could only squeeze two inches of snow out of that. Temp hasn’t moved from 33 all night and remains there now. Might get some stray snow showers today from this coastal development.

    Great post. The answer is….we don’t. That’s what makes this hobby so infuriating haha. But also, if the models were simply dead accurate all the time, we wouldn’t have this hobby. We all love it, even with all its flaws.

    In fact, I even recall posting about the first run of the HRRR that showed that outcome and saying how we can’t rule it out and how it has sniffed out similar thermal issues at 48 hours before. I think someone even put a weenie symbol on my post haha.
  4. Mount Joy Snowman
    The HRRR at long range nailed the idea of massive warm air intrusion.
  5. Mount Joy Snowman
    Whereabouts do you live Superstorm?
  6. Mount Joy Snowman
    Boy you ain’t kiddin. There was no battle; the warm air simply won out, as it so often does.
  7. Mount Joy Snowman
    Yeah, I mean there’s absolutely no way I got more than them 20 miles to their southeast. Absurd, but par for the course.

    An additional .3 of sneet here over the last couple hours. Event total of 2.3”. Now an 80/20 mix of rain to sleet, with everything compacting and washing away. Fun while it lasted.
  9. Mount Joy Snowman
    It really is quite the battle at the moment ha. Constantly back and forth over here.
  10. Mount Joy Snowman
    Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle, it’s actually switched back to snow here. Don’t have high hopes but let’s see where this goes.
  11. Mount Joy Snowman
    Seeing multiple mPing reports of sleet well up into Lebanon County already. The HRRR first sniffed out the aggressive eastern warm nose at its maximum range of 48 hours. Impressive.
  12. Mount Joy Snowman
    Mix being reported all the way up to the Lanc/Berks line already. Will be interesting to see if it holds off for the Harrisburg crew as was modeled.

    CC line was never really close to me and yet…..here I am sitting under sleet. Would love one more bout of snow under intense rates but I doubt it. We know how this usually goes.
  14. Mount Joy Snowman
    Awesome congrats! We have completely switched over down here. Was really hoping to hold off until 4 or 5pm but warm air wins again down here.
  15. Mount Joy Snowman
    An additional 1.5” has fallen here in the last two hours, bringing the storm total to 2.0”. Sitting at 31/30 and sleet starting to mix in when rates let up.
  16. Mount Joy Snowman
    Still 32/31 here but with moderate snow now and much healthier flakes. Was just out driving and the main roads are mostly fine but side roads are dicey and my neighborhood roads are completely snow covered. Beautiful scene.
  17. Mount Joy Snowman
    Been snowing for two hours and just measured a half inch. 32/31 as rates picking up. Wife sending me out to run an errand so will report on roads shortly.
  18. Mount Joy Snowman
    Yeah if you squint hard enough the recent HRRR runs have been getting slightly better for northwestern Lancaster County. Gonna be a real war over here come 4-6pm, me thinks.
  19. Mount Joy Snowman
    Inefficient accumulation here early on with temps waffling between 32 and 33 and a DP up to 30. Hoping we squeeze in a big thump sometime between 1-4pm.
  20. Mount Joy Snowman
    There are three things in this world I can sit and stare at in perpetuity: a steady snowfall, a crackling fire, and two dogs wrestling. That’s it. That’s the list.
  21. Mount Joy Snowman
    The CC is a must when searching for that sleet line.
  22. Mount Joy Snowman
    Mulch and patio table have caved as rates gradually increase here. Beautiful scene. 32/28
  23. Mount Joy Snowman
    First stray flakes have broken out here in west central Lancaster County as we sit at 32/27. Inner cylinder has been removed from the rain gauge. Let’s get it while we can!

    Narrator: the observer was, in fact, not ready to go. I would gladly stroll up to MDT with my trusty 18 inch steel ruler but I’m a little hungover today, as evidenced by my silly 2am posting. Pap went a little too hard last night (a rare thing these days) and momma is giving me the side eye this morning ha.

    Sitting at 26/21 here as I hit the hay. Let’s goooooo!!! G’night.
