    We have hit the threshold. Zero degrees at 8:45 pm.

    Yeah, Tuscarora is a couple miles from the house as the crow flies. The drop has slowed a bit, but we are down to +2 as I type this.
  3. Voyager
    I'm at +4 right now. Winds were howling, but as has been mentioned, they have backed off considerably. I do believe, if winds stay light, we can make a run for -5 to -10 even here.

    Wow!!! I don't know about anyone else, but I'm down 14 degrees since FROPA. It was 24 before the squalls hit, and it's now down to 10 with some insane wind gusts.
  5. Voyager
    That was the one bad glitch in an otherwise fairly decent weather station. My anemometer was never correct. Peak gust, even during Sandy, was a meager 26 mph, and the highest I've ever recorded was 29 mph, and that was a gust that I thought was going to rip the back wall off of our house. Everything else (rain, temp, etc) was close to spot on. So far today, my station's highest gust was 19 mph.

    I stand corrected. We actually had two squalls. The first one was moderate with fine flakes. It had just about stopped, and then round two came in like a wall of white with much bigger flakes. That one's winding down now, but between the two of them we picked up between a half and one inch.
  7. Voyager
    Well, it certainly wasn't awe inspiring here either. I had similar rates and visibility the last two hours of yesterday's storm as I did with the squall. There wasn't even much wind with it until it tapered off.

    That line does look a bit ragged right now. Might it do the infamous "summertime" Tamaqua Split?

    Did anyone read this morning's AFD? Pretty interesting (and cool) stuff going on with this weather event. Still mainly clear in the east, so some sunshine will help destabilize things there. That will likely serve to make the snow showers/squalls more intense there. Might even be a CG or two with CAPE nearing 100J in the east between 10AM-1PM. Most likely place for thundersnow is near wind turbines. CAPE will be nearly nil for the western half of the CWA due to early passage.

    It's always darkest...err...coldest right before the dawn. Temp dropped to +3 degrees with excellent radiational cooling this morning.
  11. Voyager
    If my temp sensor is correct we are down to 7 degrees this morning, which I don't think is too far off, since the old mercury thermometer close to the house is reading 10 degrees.
  12. Voyager
    Haha... We really finished off with a bang as the final 2 hours of the event featured 2 inch/hour rates.
  13. Voyager
    Snow has stopped. Final total, 7.3 inches.
  14. Voyager
    I'll do a final measurement once the back edge swings through. It sure does look like it will stop abruptly once it does. Eyeballing things, it looks almost as if I doubled my previous measurement. We've had good rates and big flakes for the past two hours. The sidewalks were shoveled once, and the plow had gone down the street, but the vehicles are untouched.
  15. Voyager
    Just measured and have 3.25" as of 4:15pm.
  16. Voyager
    Moderate snow as well here that is NOT of the usual pixie dust variety so regularly seen up my way. Haven't measured yet, but eyeballing about 2 inches.
  17. Voyager
    Actually, in perusing the nearby CWA's, they all bumped down totals in PA. The 6-8 range over the Poconos Mount Holly was showing has pretty much vanished in favor of a widespread 4-6, and even Binghamton lowered everything in most of NEPA and southern NY state. I guess some last minute shifts in either qpf and/or position of the front and developing wave are the culprits.
  18. Voyager
    Holy crap at CTP's probabilistic map. They bumped it down big time in some locations. Less than one inch for most areas west of US-15???
  19. Voyager
    Very light dusting here.
  20. Voyager
    Interesting. I got bumped back up to 6-8 from 4-6 on the previous map.
  21. Voyager
    I am about 3 miles from being in a winter storm warning as the county line and the border between CTP and Mt Holly is just outside of town over in Coaldale/Nesquehoning...
  22. Voyager
    Same old same old. Model mayhem right up until "go" time...
  23. Voyager
    Looks like the NAM suite wants to shift everything south and east. The Pocono jackpot appears now to be a Lehigh Valley jackpot.
  24. Voyager
    Mount Holly is rather busllish wrt to the Poconos. One county and about 5 miles east of me and watches are hoisted. Lets see what CTP does...
  25. Voyager
    I would have thought that the qpf outputs on most of the models being around 2 inches (I did end at 1.78 inches) plus the snow melt (see my image from yesterday) and I would have thought the Southeastern counties would have had a watch.
