    Yup. It did finally.

    Precipitation started back up again here after a lull. It's still sleet though, even though it's quite heavy. I was hoping it would be back to snow...
  3. Voyager
    Thanks. Amazing how such a shallow area can change the outcome.

    Off to bed soon. Biggest take aways from this night is the change to sleet and the precipitation shutting completely off for the past hour or so, as well as the feeling of talking to myself all night...

    We flipped to sleet when I was walking down to the fire, and now even the sleet has shut off. What level was above freezing? According to my app, everything up to 850mb is 31 or lower.

    I don't know, but I'm not feeling comfortable with that pivot for the coal region. Looks like by the time it gets here most of the heaviest precipitation will be due west and north, and we get a brief hit from the tail end before it lifts out of the region.

    We have flipped to sleet. Measured 4.5" more after shoveling for the dog, so a total of 8.5" before the changeover. Bad night for this to happen with the cold and the wind...

    According to my drone app, the temperature at 5,000ft dropped 2 degrees back to 30. Perhaps I may have dodged the sleet bullet?
  9. Voyager
    Gravity waves?
  10. Voyager
    Wind profile from my drone app. It shows 32 degrees up at 5,000ft, or just above 850mb. I guess pingers will be here soon.

    During the Blizzard of 93 in Bethlehem PA we flipped to heavy sleet for 6 hours, then flipped back to heavy snow for a couple of hours and still ended up with 17 inches. I often wonder how much we'd have gotten if it would have stayed all snow.

    Actually, the 22z HRRR wants to take the sleet all the way up to Scranton. Can that even be right?

    Dry air...sleet...anything to f**k up a good snowstorm... Still all snow here. Just measured 4" on the dot, but had to shovel for the dog, so we start over. It's been 6 hours since onset, so I don't think it'll mess up the numbers too bad. Air temp is 23 in my backyard, but I just don't like seeing that dry slot or the pingers moving north so fast. Scares me a bit.

    1.75" here in Tamaqua, but we started later than you guys south and west.
  15. Voyager
    There is truth to that. I've seen many a forecast bust for to mix and change much farther north. For my backyard, if the Lehigh Valley or Reading changes, we go over about 15-30 minutes later, even if it's not forecasted.

    Same here in Tamaqua. Never in the center of a contour or jackpot zone. Always on the gradient.

    I am NOT liking the 19z HRRR. That run shows sleet wrapping around all the way up to my location. It would be so nice to NOT taint for once.

    But the creator of thundersnow...

    Getting some nice dendrites mixing in with the smaller flakes now, so the heavier stuff is hopefully is moving in. I just wish the wife was home from work already. She has a rental car that she's not familiar with as her Jeep is in the body shop getting fixed from when a deer ran into her drivers side fender and front door about a month ago.

    I may miss the first flakes, but I'm going to take a little nap to recharge the batteries for a night of observing and (hopefully) filming for my YouTube channel. Currently 26 degrees with solid lead gray overcast.
  22. Voyager
    Yes, I did forget about that one. And you are right. PA is full of them. I-80 by Lock Haven. I-81 going up through Clarks Summit. Etc and etc....
  23. Voyager
    I'm a trucker, and I can't even begin to think what it would be like trying to climb the Pine Grove to Tremont hill on I-81 northbound at the height of this storm.
  24. Voyager
    I take a ride with my next door neighbor to go to Macungie to get a truckload of heating oil and come back to an I-81 mauling on the NAM's. Unbelievable!!!

    You forget me and my Schuylkill County pixie dust...lol
