Thats what I remember about the storm I don't remember and issues at my place from the storm. Maybe we had a half inch or so from it. the further east/ northeast (and the increase in elevation) there was more snow. And we were traveling to Gratz so my grandfather could purchase a wringer washer. And I still have that wringer washer. But hasn't been used in decades. And if i'm right that was the last year of they made them.

20 is the new 40 after all the ridiculous cold that was bestowed upon us weeks ago.

I remember April 1982. I had barely any snow here (being I live down in the valley) elevation 460. I remember going through a little town of Hebe, Pa. elevation 661ft. and there was about 6 inch of snow, there were plows out plowing.

18 this morning.

Were the emergency snow shoveler's activated?

Cooper and his grandmother are thinking ahead — way ahead — and preparing for a special snowball fight in July. https://www.wgal.com/article/boy-keeping-snowballs-in-freezer-for-july/70468549

Thyere's always hope.

Yes, one last hurrah!

I remember how bad the roads were several days after the storm. It was like driving over a washboard.

And March is on our doorstep, you'll be hearing more from him regarding wind.

Beautiful landscape this morning. depends where I measure 3-4 inches at places. On my stone gravel lane 1.5-2 inches fell overnight. Trees are caked with snow.

33 and very wet snow started about 10 min ago.

And of course looks like I'll miss it by about 15 miles or so.

Temp dropped almost 2 degrees the past hour. Down to 35.2 now just waiting on the rain to change to snow. .23 precipitation today. Most of that was 97% rain.

Took notice that NWS didn't alter their Winter Storm Warnings as of 11 am update. So they must feel somewhat confident on their forecasts

I know it's far from over. But might as well stick this in here. Maybe the storm will surprise some of us.

Even CBS21 say the Susquehanna Valley might only end up with 2-3 inches. https://www.facebook.com/cbs21news/videos/1288428943103685

In the last 15 min. the snow turned to rain here.33.4 temp. and a 33 dp.

.DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1: Heavy snowfall is expected today into Monday over practically all of the Southeast half of Pennsylvania. Confidence continues to increase in an area of low pressure rapidly developing off the east coast today as a very dynamic upper trough digs southeast from the Great Lakes region and amplifies across the Central Appalachians and Mid Atlantic Coast. The latest 00z Sunday guidance continues to come into good agreement on the position and strength of the coastal low as it strengthens/bombs out as its heads from the Outer Banks late this morning NNE to about 125NM east of KSBY this evening. GEFS Ensemble Plumes and their respective anomalies of various parameters show a well-defined inverted trough over Central PA today, extending NWWD from the aforementieond coastal low. This trough is at the western edge of a highly anomalous East to NErly LLJ (falling into the minus 4-5 sigma u-component of the wind at 925 and 850 mb). Increasing upper level diffluence ahead of the digging upper trough will support gradual enhancement of snowfall rates across all of Central PA today with snowfall rates within these quasi north/south bands of snow exceeding 1 inch per hour (possibly over 2 inches at times in heavy CSI bands across our far eastern CWA. A complicating feature that will enhance and extend significant impacts from this storm will be the increasingly strong NNE to NNW wind - that will gust over 30 mph tonight (and likely over 40 mph) on Monday. This will lead to significant/extensive blowing and drifting snow with localized near whiteout conditions possible. KEY MESSAGE 2: A high degree of uncertainty remains with expected snowfall over the rest of northern PA. Significant uncertainty still remains regarding snowfall over the rest of North-Central, NW PA and the Middle Susq Valley considering the likelihood for a quasi-stationary nearly north/south band of heavy snow (lasting several hours or more) along the axis of an inverted llvl trough and leading edge of the lower/deeper DGZ that will be situated from the Scent Mtns to somewhere between KUNV/KSEG and KIPT later Sunday afternoon/Sunday night. A couple of things to keep in mind regarding this snowfall forecast: * As the low quickly deepens off the east coast, expect areas of enhanced low to mid level frontogenesis and UVVEL to develop in the western periphery of the system. Much of this banding will likely set up just east of the CWA, but could still develop across parts of our central and eastern zones. * Multiple models continue to show a snow band associated with an area of low level convergence within an inverted trough extending northwestward from the coastal low. While this type of band is more likely to set up somewhere in central PA, it will likely be narrow with a widely varying snowfall totals on either side of the band.

Heard the geese last night around 11pm sounds like they were headed north. So the signs of spring are starting to show.
