    I was quite surprised to measure 5.5 inches here this morning, looks like the inverted trough set up right along the river (east of most mesoscale models).

    As much as I want the snow too, it is fairly interesting and rare to see this set-up where the LSV is one of the only locations still reporting rain (with snow now falling in all surrounding directions)... reflected in the station mesonet too for temperatures still in the upper 30s here.

    75% rain / 25% snow mix toward Linglestown (35°F), with no accumulation. Given the marginal boundary layer temperatures, it will be difficult to see snow accumulation if model trends continue to support subsidence across the LSV. Most of the model snow maps are way too high given ratios and ground temperatures. It's looking snowy in Huntingdon County (https://stormsellweather.com/weatherwall/pawebcams.html), where banding has been present most of the morning.

    Some flurries here this morning. We must have had some freezing mist/drizzle overnight, as my car was coated in ice. Meanwhile, my flight to the American Meteorological Society conference has been canceled now a second time...

    Yes, wonderful resource! This has been my main tool tracking the storm all day. Looks like the sleet line pushed all the way north to almost Lewistown...
  6. Blizzard92
    Back to mostly snow here, though seems like the warm air is trying to make another northward surge across the LSV. This is quite a unique setup for the area (given the surface temperatures).
  7. Blizzard92
    Sleet has already pushed through here north of I-81 in Dauphin County at around 11:45 AM.

    I am keeping an eye on that northern extent of the CC in north Franklin County for potential trends this afternoon. Though the heavier reflectivity returns moving through the LSV could keep those north of the turnpike with at least 25% snow mixing in with the sleet. I am getting about a 75% snow (needles and random aggregates) and 25% sleet here.

    There are some indications in recent radar frames that the mix line may be slowing down or retreating south a bit in parts of Bedford County as some colder air filters in.
  10. Blizzard92
    Wow, it's wild to see how fast the sleet line is pushing north in the last few CC radar frames

    6.5 inches just measured here (Linglestown area) and heavy snow continuing, 11°F
  12. Blizzard92
    Visibility dropping below 0.25 mile here with very heavy snow too... Like a wall of white given how small the snow flakes are.
  13. Blizzard92
    I just measured 4.0 inches (8 AM) in the Linglestown, PA area. Very fine flakes, but rates seem to be increasing now and it has surprisingly added up quickly.
  14. Blizzard92
    Obviously much higher QPF event back in 2007, but does anyone recall the breakdown of pure sleet (vs. snow / freezing rain) accumulation in the Valentine's Day storm across the LSV?
  15. Blizzard92
    So much for my flight to the annual American Meteorological Society meeting on Sunday!
  16. Blizzard92
    A nice 2.1 inches of snow toward the Linglestown area
  17. Blizzard92
    Just finished taking a walk and there was a very light dusting of snow on top of the sleet/freezing rain.
  18. Blizzard92
    Receiving more freezing rain than I expected, even in the heavier bursts... Probably about 90% FRZA and 10% IP with temperatures in the upper 20s.
  19. Blizzard92
    Coating of snow on all surfaces here with visibility dropping below 1 mile
  20. Blizzard92
    A bit over 2 inches of snow here
  21. Blizzard92
    Visibility dropping below 0.5mi now, with all surfaces covered. Much better snow growth than our last storm!
  22. Blizzard92
    We've been under fairly high radar returns all evening in Dauphin County, but having trouble sticking still with warm temperatures still hovering around 32-33°F.
  23. Blizzard92
    Coating of snow on all surfaces in the Linglestown area, with large dendrites continuing.
  24. Blizzard92
    Changed over to freezing rain and sleet here now, after about 2.75-3in of snow.
  25. Blizzard92
    Still light (all) snow here (1.5in), but very poor flake quality (notably the warm nose has pushed back south in the latest CC returns). Watching heavier returns move in from the west and hoping for some better dendrites...
