pawxworld Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 DC weenies are now worrying about being dry slotted. That could happen if this actually did move farther north and west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 are you in hagerstown or greencastle for the storm? Greencastle. Not much of a difference though like 15 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawxworld Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 snow starting to pick up here. As canderson had said it really hasn't stopped snowing all day seems like with little or no radar echos it still wants to snow here. The good stuff to our west is on our doorstep and should be here shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 DC weenies are now worrying about being dry slotted. That could happen if this actually did move farther north and west. No, just one weenie who apparently is more interested in history than anything else. Phin put him in his place. I just about spit out my tea when i read that. Anywho, the radar is looking great right now for these parts. Time for a 'thumpin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hershey Bears game has been cancelled for tonight. FWIW, Wink104 has been advertising an additional 6" for the Harrisburg area...in reference to some comments about weather/news outlets and such.

The Iceman Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 anybody else having drizzle? what the heck!! Where's my cooling!!!? probably need heavier echos and you'll go back to snow real fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexP Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Looks like it has actually stopped for the moment in Camp Hill. Management at my office is going with the "no big deal" approach to the storm. A couple of our employees who live in the Warning area have inquired about leaving early, but as of now the boss is taking a "wait and see" attitude based on the fact that local TV and the NWS have continued to downplay this event.

Scummyratguy Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 i had to grumble since everything else today has been going quite well. I was sort of surprised by the placement on that low by hpc. the prssure falls sort of indicated it might be further west.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 anybody else having drizzle? what the heck!! Where's my cooling!!!? It's actually freezing drizzle right now. York is 32/28. Once the main batch of precip gets here you will go to all snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 anybody else having drizzle? what the heck!! Where's my cooling!!!? They're having flat-out rain to the east of you in some parts. Lot of the northern Philly burbs have had rain mixed in with their 3-4" already. Don't freak out about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWxJr Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Totally stopped here...Looks exciting... definitely feeling bad about Harrisburg commute. A lot of my neighbors commute from Harrisburg...I think this sudden onset of snow might cause a lot of accidents unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckyplayer8 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 If your zoom in , http://raleighwx.americanwx.com/models/radar/northeastradar_loop_large.html , you can see that intense frontogenic band is set to tear right up into the lower SRV, with of course me hanging on for dear life.

pawxworld Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Snowhole... Nice! Look at those yellow returns down south heading north they will hopefully merge with the back building west precip. Another hour or so should be fun here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The only depressing part about this storm is the lull. If we event had .25 - .5" snowfall rates all day many places would be looking at a nice double digit snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNOWFALL RATES OF 1-2 IN/HR WILL THEN SPREAD NEWD ACROSS DE...SERN PA...MUCH OF NJ...THE NEW YORK CITY METRO AREA AND WRN LONG ISLAND BY 00-03Z. A PROGRESSIVE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH LOCATED OVER THE WRN CAROLINAS AT 18Z IS FORECAST TO TAKE ON A NEGATIVE TILT AS IT EJECTS NEWD ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THIS EVENING. AS THIS OCCURS...OFFSHORE SURFACE CYCLONE WILL MOVE NEWD TOWARD A POSITION S-SE OF LONG ISLAND BY 03Z. MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES ALONG AND S OF A LINE FROM NRN VA TO CNTRL NJ WILL INITIALLY SUPPORT RAIN /POSSIBLY MIXED WITH FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET/. HOWEVER...THE COMBINATION OF STRONG DEEP LAYER ASCENT AND STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL CAA OCCURRING IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING SURFACE LOW WILL FAVOR A QUICK TRANSITION TO SNOW AS THE PRIMARY SHIELD OF PRECIPITATION TRANSLATES NEWD DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY NIGHT. MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES STRONG SYNOPTIC-SCALE ASCENT WILL BECOME JUXTAPOSED WITH A ZONE OF STRENGTHENING LOW-MIDLEVEL FRONTOGENESIS ALIGNED FROM NERN VA NEWD INTO NEW ENGLAND...AIDING IN INTENSE UVV/S THROUGH THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE.

HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER NERN VA...WASHINGTON DC...AND CNTRL/NRN MD BY 21-00Z. AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES TOWARD THE MID ATLANTIC COAST DURING THE 00-03Z TIME PERIOD...STRONG ASCENT ACCOMPANIED BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES WILL SPREAD NEWD ACROSS DE...SERN PA...NJ...AND EVENTUALLY THE NEW YORK CITY METRO AREA AND WRN LONG ISLAND. ..GARNER.. 01/26/2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
