March is turning out to be a wet month so far 4.55 rain so fat this month. Waiting on the snow in the rain Guage to melt to add to the total for this month.

Did NWS get called to investigate the damage?

Didn't I read 309 is still closed at 3:45pm?

Have about an inch of snow here that is very crusty.

The old saying of: after a thunderstorm in winter within 10 days it will snow, rang true again.

Snowing here and temp 33.

38 here.

1.09 rain so far today. I had .23 rain before that front came through.

Temp down to 39 here.

Front coming through now experienced the same temp drop. Heavy rain blowing sideways.

Yes it sounds much later than yesterday. But this afternoon sounds like we have to be on the lookout for severe weather.

You should have did a powerpoint presentation on the weather threats were facing today and offered counseling to those individuals.

Seems quite unusual that CTP is strongly on board for this event. They are usually pretty conservative.

Tomorrow I'd just like to have a good thunderstorm consisting of good thunder and continuous lightning without wind over 25mph. But I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.

The NOAA NWS Storm Prediction Center has placed south central Pennsylvania in an Enhanced Risk (Level 3 out of 5) for Monday March 16th. Pennsylvania averages only 5 to 6 Enhanced Risk days per year. Damaging straight line wind gusts are the primary threat, but a few tornadoes are possible as well.

Thanks for your analysis on this. I did see someone commented on Facebook (I don't know what site or thread it was on) this person said they and their spouse had damage on their property and it was the loudest thunder they ever heard. They also said they went down into their basement till the storm passed. So maybe there was just a brief touchdown of a tornado. Also I wish there were more radar sites like in the Harrisburg area for better coverage during severe weather events.

You got to keep that tanker spit-shined.

I wonder if this will expand a little more north in the coming days?

Temperatures will climb in to the 60s again by Monday and then plummet into the 30s on Tuesday. 'Tis the season for BIG temperature swings.

Found this on facebook I didn't know NWS was doing a storm survey. Nepa Storm Chasers eSnosprdot8ch492c2au0hctgtfa7h30f8lhi1ct786i7mh7um2c3693i7t3 · Dauphin County Tornado Update Some followup on the tornado warned storm in Dauphin County on Wednesday. I have actually drive on the exact road in the exact rural area it struck and there's a solid chance it missed every home as it's extremely rural in Shermans Dale and Blain, PA. The storm would have only been on the ground for a short time maybe 10-15 mins, 3-8 miles max before lifting. This may have hit a house or just tore up some woods but there was clearly evidence to suggest it was causing damage. I clipped a photo of the debris ball with the overlay of the general area it would have been. It's all thick woods and very rural homes. I personally stayed in a cabin about 2-4 miles from the exact spot this storm happened at. I'm very curious to see what the NWS survey team determines when they conclude their investigation. Anyway, thought this may be interesting to everyone. I'll update when I found out. - Espresso
