Low of 44 here. I have always believed this to be a true central to northern PA type event and expect even further shifts to the north. Would put the over/under at one inch down this way and would probably take the under. As always, hope to be wrong. Happy Super Bowl Sunday everyone! 

Exactly, I usually tell the wife when snow is coming but never even mentioned this storm because I figured it was a nothing burger.

For next week, if KMDT gets two 2-4" snowfalls in 7 days I deem that a wild success. I feel any chance of a big snow won't be till mid February till mid March.

I had just been thinking that today, a couple of nickel and dime events with cold temps would be wonderful. Considering how Lancaster has the least amount of snow in the state the last 2 seasons if I’m correct.

Cars and deck covered here in Northeast Lancaster Co.

Lancaster Co folks need to just give up the ghost, one or two inches of slop paste which last on the bare grass for 3 hours isn’t even worth anybodys time. Let’s just enjoy our almost zippo snow totals and you can tell your kids and or grandkids about the snowless winter you lived through.

The eagles snowstorm Victory Blizz let’s do it! I’ll even cheer for the Eagles for this to happen. 

I thought maybe somebody did a deal where they traded an Eagles Super Bowl victory for a snowless winter?  

The snow is all out west this year as record amounts in CA, AZ and UT.  I’m happy I at least was able to experience over a foot in October in Park City UT, Jackson WY and West Yellowstone MT when visiting.  Happy for them as heavy precip is putting a serious dent in their drought. Salt Lake had been bone dry when we were out.

It is baffling. If I wasn’t going to NW Maine for a week in February I would be deeply depressed about this weather pattern.

Went to Park City UT, Jackson Wy and Yellowstone the third week of Oct and ended up seeing over a foot of snow in those places combined.  I enjoyed every bit of it knowing snow is so sporadic in our parts. Should have stayed in Park City all winter, they are getting destroyed with snow so far this winter.

Is this at least somewhat like living in Denver? Several hours ago I was walking the river trail in a short sleeve shirt. Potential blizzard conditions hours later. By Monday, sun and near 60 again. 

Good times to be a weather fan. 

I remember many years ago, the Phillies were playing the Rockies in Denver. Game time temps were close to 60 and by the 9th it was 36 and snowing.  It’s was one of those long game slugfests that would happen a lot in Denver.

Not a flake here yet - Lanco curse is living on so far...

No kidding, nothing here either.

Curious if anyone on the board has had less seasonal snowfall than me so far?  I'm at 8.9".

Last I noticed Lancaster City has 6.2”, not only the lowest total in PA but also NJ and DE.

This pretty well aligns with my thinking. Not expecting much of anything frozen down this way. 

At least Lancaster can hold on to the “least snow in the state” title awhile longer.

This is brutal (seasonal snowfall). Came without a legend, but I think we can all fill in the blanks 

Snowstorms to the west of me.     
snowstorms to the East of me.     
here I am, stuck in the middle with nothing.

Looking at the back deck chairs, looks to be about 2” with light snow still falling.

Anyone down in Dover?  They must have a nice pile already, right under all that confluence.

Was wondering that myself, they have been under that elongated band for awhile now.

2016 snowstorm anniversary, only snow we had that winter if I remember correctly.

I remember the super clipper I believe that followed the 96' Blizzard.  We r do for a widespread 1-3" ol fashioned clipper .

Harrisburg had close to a foot in that clipper in 96, as I remember driving in it. Was an over performer for sure as they weren’t calling for nearly as much.  Thumped hard for 6 to 8 hours then we all know what happened with rains a few days later.

I am sure.  And I know some stuff really is important to get there next day but your safety is more important.  I was sort of glad to hear you say it.  We had a Wal-Mart delivery in the middle of the storm, last evening.  It was a box of cat food!  Crazy the driver put themselves in peril over that.

That is nuts to be out last night, that was ground I’m FedEx express. We aren’t out on sundays or if it’s to bad they call us to come back to our station. No sense to be out and risk accidents or getting stuck over cat litter. lol

So next day delivery becomes the next day for another day?  Lol!

I only do that if it’s really snowing or icy, the company hates if they have to pay a tow truck driver to pull you out. Never been towed in 27 years and am out most of the time in snow. Have to be smart where you drive that’s all. People understand if conditions are bad and they have to wait another day.

I’ve had many adventures trying to get back to York county during snow. 

30 can be a nightmare also with the traffic.

It always is, it seems.  I can recall driving to work and literally nowhere else was icy or snowy except that whole area.  Kind of a little microclimate.

I’m the Fed ex driver in Columbia and Marietta/Maytown and everything is flat but Chickies Hill. If we’re getting decent snow I say screw Marietta and stay in town Columbia. lol

Your drive to Mount Joy should be just fine. Only roads with issues are developments. 

Chickies hill area was a little slick this AM from the morning snows.

How are roads in Lancaster county looking?

Mostly dry actually.

Hoping our area fares better than the Eagles today.

Sun now clearly breaking through what is left of the cloud deck and the snow is done.  Temp is 27 with dp now down to 25.

Seems south central PA (York/Lancaster counties) and areas south and west of there really cashed in with their own blob of snow-producing moisture.

Started off great last night but petered out some as the night went on. We ended up right around 4.

Just upped the ante to WSW here, currently light to moderate, looks to be an inch or so.
