My take on the severe weather that was supposed to happen but really didn't get it's act together. Social Media, TV were saying it could happen and let the public know. But it seems the public now won't believe the media if there is a real threat in the near future, and there could be property damage and injuries, and loss of life from not heeding warnings. I understand forecasts aren't perfect. But if the models are hinting at something like severe weather, we should all pay attention and take the necessary precautions.

Wow look at those single digits on the map. US National Weather Service State College PA With any luck this morning will be the coldest temperatures we experience until late October or November.

17 this morning.

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?
