Snow has picked up again in Lebanon, added another half inch this morning making is 3” so far. Wind picking up a bit. Temp 23°

2.5” in Lebanon with very fine flakes falling

1” officially measured in Lebanon with steady snow

1/2” of snow in Lebanon and winter storm warning just issued for up to 6” of snow

Lebanon currently at 23° and DP 17

18z GFS kuchera snowmap also showing stripe of possibly 6” amounts in LSV area

18z RGEM looks great too

Latest 18z NAMs getting slightly more amped as well and very much in line with the latest long range HRRR showing a wide area of 4-6” in the LSV region

Latest long range HRRR getting slightly more juicy and hinting at close to 6” of snow in areas like Lebanon County. That pushes warning criteria as its 5” there

Light flurries in Lebanon right now

Canadian and to a lesser extent the GFS still trying to drum up trouble at the end of the week too

12z CMC looks great too

12z GFS Kuchera snowfall map

Last minute 12z NAMs’ kuchera snowmaps…all looks good

0z NAM trying to keep this juiced up over a large area

I was down at my alma-mater at the Millersville Meteo Dept about 6 weeks ago seeing some old friends and faces at the weather center and asked about the new radar etc. Long story short, its not even operational yet as some parts were missing/broken and have not been replaced/repaired yet to be even functional. Once it is, the radar will not be available for public viewing/use unless the NWS or other media outlets buy the license rights to broadcast it and use it. Its a private company so everyone who “wants to use it” needs to pay for the access. I would imagine the NWS would want it as they are the only entity who can issues warnings, etc. Hopefully we all will get the ability to see it once its up and running and a deal is worked out. Millersville University is only a location for the radar and for research and not the ones who give the rights/licenses out. Although Millersville did spend a ton of money via a grant to get the radar there and access to it for research. But again, its been 5 months installed now and not functional.

Here is the 12z European 2 day 10:1 snowfall map for next Tuesday

Just measured another inch on the snow board in Lebanon making it a storm total of 4” and now it went over to moderate freezing rain. Winds gusty out of the NE at 20MPH and temp 30°

Went back to heavy snow for a while in Lebanon and just measured new storm total of 3” now

Back to heavy snow in Lebanon now

Yes, even over 24 hours ago the long range HRRR was hinting at low end snow amounts in the eastern and southern parts of LSV. Spot on. Im at 29° in Lebanon and only 2” of snow and its heavy sleet now

Like a light switch, moderate snow switched to sleet in Lebanon. Warm nose on the eastern areas really screamed northward quickly. Only 2” here in Lebanon at changeover and that likely will be all she wrote as far as snow accumulation here

Just measured a half inch since the last check an hour ago. Storm total so far 1.5” in Lebanon. Temp 30°

Just measured 1” of snow finally in Lebanon. Moderate snow ongoing

First flurries spotted here in Lebanon…28/24
