MDT records .9" of snow per wgal. That is not what was posted before so not sure. Cashtown's report was on Wgal. Highest numbers were 4" in C-Burg and 3.8 in Greencastle.

The pictures they showed had the roads completely covered again to the tune 1/4-1/2"

Pics from Harrisburg make it appear probably already adding a one quarter to one half inch as of now.

Waynesboro just threw down a 2 Hour delay. WGAL really tooting horn on blowing and drifting snow tonight and tomorrow.

Roads coated again. Probably quite dangerous now.

The WSW and WAA's are still in effect.

If that radar presentation holds together, Harrisburg could soon be seeing Mod- Heavy Snow during rush hour.

Agreed, I just did not see that happening with that 500H panel on the Nam.

Radar does look good. Snow has commenced here albeit light so far.

Hanover Toyota just told me they are closing early due to the ULL coming through (not joking)

Will chime in with some others who said it, without a phase, how does that come up the coast? Not directed at your post, model discussion.

Masontown to Holidaysburg band, at least on radar, seems to be putting down some snow.

If you followed the posting from the last few days, Snow Showers is the new secret word to suggest good things in the snow department. Last year it was Buckle Up.

Right now the best banding is setting up in True Central PA again. Probably going to retreat south but...

Interesting and obvious thoughts in the MA forum. I say obvious because they are but not sure I had thought of it yet. We were so gung ho on using Kuch because of the antecedent cold air but if one looks at the 10-1 maps maybe the model outputs were a bit more realistic. QPF in Lanco was 2-3" on a lot of outputs....10-1 that is 2-3" of snow. It is almost 30 degrees here right now. Kuch may have over done it this time (sometimes Kuch is lower of course but obviously much higher up this way for this storm.)

I will opine that anyone who is wrapping up the snow totals and judging forecasts off them is risking be off base. All the forecast and snow maps were for the entire storm, not just this AM.

Mod snow and 28 here.

The HRRR last night (18Z) did have an area of banding about 2/3 up into PA. Pivotal does not have the product to see if was suggested 700 fgen. It does show 1-2" up there, think they probably got more, but something is still missing from the equation when you look at the snowfall map for say Lanco or just under the border in Northern MD. It had to be forecasting more forcing there for those 6-10" totals which ended up being 3-4". Not sure many if any models depicted what happened in the LSV and N MD.

ULL moving ESE and fairly well defined in KY/OH on this pic

Later Nooners. 26 and sun through clouds helping a bit with driveway, I had shoveled early this AM, but drifting is counter acting it. Cannot have overly extensive drifting with 4" but some roads are getting covered again after the plow went through.

The good thing about the icon being off is that this board allows the "It is the Icon, why bother" mantra to cast it aside when it does not show what we want.

There are two (or more) things at question here...the bashers and then the model parade, which I know you are not a total fan of especially snow maps, so thanks for putting up with some of us who like to compare and break it down. Many of the model paraders did issue forecasts which conflicted with the high model outputs so there was some actual forecasting/guessing be done.

Sorry, I do remember now. Someone who has a green icon I think.

Very true. Point and click and then impatience on top of it to not go any further. Plus lack of time.

I personally do not recall any met bashing on her except for ruin (with this storm). We Bantered about whether they would bump up Lanco and York to WSW but was just discussion on whether they would do it. If you you think being a couple inches behind on possible snow is bad for many here, remember Hagerstown's NWS headline read 8-12 with 18" lolly's. They got that one DRASICTALLY wrong.
