Total storm event: 2.3" snow with 0.18" liquid. Valley Green, northern York County

0.07" liquid with 0.8" as of 7am in Valley Green, northern York County...

the biggest mistake the nws ever made was not issuing a hurricane warning for north jersey and nyc for sandy! nws tries to be too fancy as opposed to operating under their mantra as to being a weather ready nation. cwa forecasting is a broadbrush and many wfo have divided counties to account for differences in the sensible weather observed. bottom line…i agree with the zero sense comment.

Many of you are obviously savy to the college football game, but the ND-PSU rivalry is huge! Both teams travel very well so Miami will be a hoot next week! Not that it matters too much, but the GFS progged temps for gametime afternoon.

A few were mentioning their precip totals for 2024...My gauge is ~3 miles SSW of KMDT which went into the books just under 43" for the year. At our humble abode, we measured just under 42" for the year. Fairly close agreement for having throughout the year rather diverse measurements for our convective precip events.

I am curious as to your implication as to no commentary...? Please elaborate if you'd like...

This is an impressive mid-latitude cyclone; nice mid-level water vapor depiction! https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=continental-conus-09-48-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=data

Yup!

0.11" liquid with 1.6" snow, Valley Green, northern York County.

Dewpoints are low; gonna take some time to saturate the column. Higher elevation=less time to saturate=greater accumulation.

0.01" of snow, IP, and rain; Valley Green, Etters PA. The "bulk" fell around 6 pm Thursday...
-
I'm at 5.1" with 0.5 mi visibility; I'm melting my contents in the overflow open cylinder presently for my cocorahs report...and the pressure has been falling rapidly over the last 2 hours; down to 998 mb!

2.2" on my snowboard as of 6 am...visibility <0.25 mi...it changed over around 3:45 am...Etters, PA northern York County PA
-
The height falls are impressive with the upward motion on the NAM Tuesday am; when the cold feeds into a strengthening coastal low, funny things do happen. Just sayin'...

7 am ob: 3.8" snow with 0.24" liquid in Valley Green, northern York County...

Pretty good depiction of cyclonic flow here in these parts as per the current radar from the NWS...https://radar.weather.gov/station/KCCX/standard

No doubt! I'm in northern York County and "play" in the middle of that "abnormally dry" region in south central PA...and frankly, for this time of year, it's abnormally wet.
-
It also shows a deep tropical connection w/ the water vapor; one thing for sure; the weather pattern has certainly turned from our dry late summer and fall!
-
1.53" from the event with a VERY BRIEF period of frozen mix at the onset Tuesday morning. All snow is gone except in small piles. 29.12" on the aneroid barometer this am. Koeppen's subtropical humid continental (Cfa) is alive and well here in southern PA!
-
1.03" total liquid and 3.6". Had a lull from 2-3 pm here; then the notorious mixed bag until it ended in the evening. Good initial 4 hours gave us the bulk of our accumulation; then again about 3-5 pm for another inch of slop...that ocean off the mid-Atlantic is warm...3-5°C warmer than normals for 5 Jan 2024...enhances precip but any storm strength will bring warm air in as well...

I live in Etters and we are at 1" and roads/pavement are snow covered. I just drove from Lancaster and plows were clearing the shoulders of route 30. My visibility as I type is 1/4 mile.

The NWS office used to be located in the Federal Bldg in Harrisburg before politics moved the radar up in the center part of the state and thus felt the office should be located there as well. The "old" radar was atop a mountain WSW of Mt. Holly Springs...That's when wx models were dot matrix plots!

Chester County is very often split NW-SE...Philly/Mt. Holly

Gotta smell the rain to get the heaviest snows!
