  1. My 6.8” of snow melted down to .51” liquid, for a ratio of 13.3:1. We had a couple hours up front where nothing was accumulating, so the actual snow that did accumulate was a good bit higher ratio. Had the kids out sledding and shoveling, now have a fire going outside. Nothing better than fire and snow. Great day in the sun. Cheers to American Weather!
  2. Low of 12. Will have qpf from my 6.8” of snow a little later. What a splendid scene out there.
  3. Whiskey Gingers flowing over here. Congrats to the Eagles and Bills. Intense games all the way around. Almost wondering if I didn’t under measure. Looks like more than 7” out there. What a fun storm! Down to 16 already.
  4. Final measurement of 6.8” here in West Hempfield Township. Awesome fast-moving storm today! Have I mentioned I love this winter.
  5. 4pm Obs: 3.8”, 3.3” of which came in the last two hours. Heavy snow and temp of 26. Glorious.
  6. 2pm Obs: .5” as skies are darkening, temp has dropped to 30, and rates are ramping up. Roads starting to cave and a juiced radar to the southwest. Let’s get it!
  7. I think it will start to stick once the temp drop accompanies those higher rates this afternoon. That radar hole opening up over us is less than promising haha. But honestly, the big stuff should be through the mid to late afternoon hours.
  8. Yes I’ve heard others state this as well, just not sure what the scientific reason for that would be. Haven’t seen any studies about that claim either but am open to them if they are out there. A topic for another time ha. Today we’ve got a snowstorm to track!
  9. I think you’re confusing air temperatures with sun angle and intensity. Green house effect is one thing but the question was about whether solar effects are greater today and I’m not sure how that would be possible. Snow update, things are finally sticking here pretty consistently. Will be curious to see how much qpf we lost on the front end but the next five or so hours should be the big show.
  10. Finally getting some stickage on certain elevated surfaces and grass tips, as snow intensifies and temp has dropped to 33.
  11. The kids just alerted me to the fact that scattered snowflakes are indeed falling from the sky. Here we go.
  12. Good morning, all. Sitting at 33/32 here and got .01” of rain yesterday. 1/3 of my backyard still has snow. I’ve felt Lancaster is the place to be all along so let’s see how it plays out. Time to have ourselves a snow day!
  13. A little late here but for MDT I’ll go 6.2” off of .53” liquid. CC: @CASH_COOP @Bubbler86
  14. Our backyard holds snow so well, still have half of it covered. Loving all the ‘lil snow on snow events this year.
  15. I just want to emphasize again how much I love where Lancaster sits for this event. Seems drawn up for us southern LSV folk. Can’t wait to watch it rip!
  16. Canadians have just been so damn consistent. It’s uncanny.
  17. How about McCort handling Sem recently, and then going to compete in AA state duals haha. And to think, there’s a team that may be better than them in FCA. It’s absurd these all-star teams compete against all these small rural schools, but I’ll save my public vs private debate for another time ha.
  18. Hey, that may still yet come! We’ll see if the wife can stay awake that long haha. Odds: doubtful.
  19. Kids in bed, manhattan in hand, Penn State wrestling coming up soon on BTN, and a snowstorm on the way. What could be better?
  20. ICON adds to the emerging consensus in a somewhat juiced manner.
