Currently 46° in Lebanon. So far today 0.85” and 1.60” total including Sunday night-Mondays first wave. Radar looks to get busy soon even with some lightning strikes
12z Euro not showing much hope for winter storms the next 1-2 weeks. My gut says we will get 1 or 2 more chances in March before we put this season to bed for good
Yes, in Lebanon my weather station hovered around 30° throughout the event. Seems like Lebanon City just skirted the southern edge of the death band. Saw on social media someone posted close to 12” in Fredricksburg about 7 miles northeast of me that parallels Route 78 near the Berks County line…wild stuff
To illustrate the intensity of this narrow band that set up, I have a friend that lives 6 miles north of me near the 78/81 interchange in northern Lebanon County and they have about 8” and I have 5” closer to Lebanon City
This goes to show that rates are everything for the duration of a storm. Before the last storm it was almost 50° 12 hours prior to start time AND rain first. Went over to snow and boom snowed 1”/hr for 6 hours and I got 6” and every road and highway caved immediately. This storm comes 12 hours after a high of 40° and comes at night but rates not nearly as great, we had the fluff factor make up for lower rates and no pavement caved this time
Just measured 5” here in Lebanon with light snow presently. Like others, even with 5” on the snow board, roads and sidewalks just wet, even with a night storm
