I see you had to switch to a bigger ruler haha.

Next couple hours are crucial but my chances for getting that high are slipping away the longer that band stays arced to my NW and north. It seems to be setting up over 2001kx over to just NW of IPT. @2001kx has to be getting crushed. This is the band that's going to see the excessive totals and it's setting more NW than any guidance had it earlier today. 

Up to 8" with moderate rates. Snowing decent but I probably lost my outside chance at 20". 

it just keeps getting heavier...up to 13" as of 9:25

Man, I'd love to be under the very heavy band that has been parked west and north of State College.  That kind of thing is rare here in Iowa.

Its rare here too.

7.0" Moderate snow. 

That band associated with the thundersnow over Mt Davis (Somerset County) is lurking. I did see the GLM flash product on the COD satellite page pick up on about two or three strikes back about an hour ago. The extra instability likely aided by the SE flow over the one ridge line in that region. 

Im keeping pace with you so far.

also its dumping snow again

6.7" as of 6:50pm

under a nice band right now.

That stuff about to come up into town from the south looks nuts. Checked the CC product to make sure that wasn't a mix lol (50dbz!)

 

 

Bring it up our way

4.8" as of 5:30

3.8" as of 4:30

Definitely, the radar seems set up real nice right now. You may miss the most intense bands but I think you should get to at least 12" without too much drama. 

Thanks mag..

Wow on the 18z HRRR. And these Kuchera totals aren't doing anything mind blowing ratio wise. Did some calculating and KAOO and UNV get to their ~2ft amounts via  14-15:1 ratios. Selinsgrove (SEG) and IPT get to their nearly 32" totals via a 13-14:1 average. This is doable if the QPF ends up that high in the deform bands. 

 

 

Think I have a shot at 12" back here?

at least a solid 1" here so far.
