Voyager Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Wow radar is nice down MDT way. The motion on that is equally impressive. Eastern echos are still moving northward while the western edge closes in! Quite a convergence zone just to my southwest. At the moment though, it's hardly snowing at my house.

PennMan Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 for the northern pa crew weekend clipper looks good. Nice. Headed to our cabin east of State College, would be nice to see some snow while there in the woods. Still light snow here, maybe another 20-30 minutes remaining.

Festus Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Perhaps a bit premature but here's my assessment for those who forecasted this event. TV Mets (F) - Shockingly poor to the point of debacle. I suppose I should give them a break since most are probably journalism majors who answered "yes" to the question "Have you ever read a thermometer?" during the interview and were then promoted to the weather department. But all I heard Tuesday was nuisance, rain, minor, no big deal, etc. And this is for abc27, cbs21 and Wgal. Short answer - bzzzzzz, no soup for you. NWS (D-) - I try to give our boys in State College the benefit of the doubt but now we have Masters and maybe PhD's in Meteorology so the standard is higher. They were late issuing the original WSW and basically got the entire timing of the storm wrong less than 24 hours prior to start. They originally had little this morning, height of storm this afternoon, tapering tonight. Reality was basically the opposite. As a result, schools and PennDOT were caught off guard. Add to that no updates all day, and an uber-late WSW for a few more counties we all thought should have been originally included and we're left with a very poor performance indeed. They managed to get Lancaster County pretty close which saved them from the F. But wow, not their finest hour on this one. Lastly, our very own red taggers, eskimo joe and others (A) - Just go back through this very thread and look at the astute analysis, supporting model output, and well thought out reasoning. Then look at the forecasted snow maps. I'd be willing to bet they align quite well with what we'll be reporting in the morning. And I believe I speak for the rest of us in saying a well deserved "THANKS!" and an even greater deserved "WELL DONE!!!". Glad you're here!

AlexP Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 abc27 dude kinda apologized for the worst forecast ever. wow, that's shocking! Back edge of the snow looks like it's moving eastward pretty rapidly. Hopefully we'll stay in heavy snow for a couple more hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSU8315 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 wow, that's shocking! Back edge of the snow looks like it's moving eastward pretty rapidly. Hopefully we'll stay in heavy snow for a couple more hours. Yeah, as soon as the coastal took over earlier this afternoon, the back edge started rocketing through western PA, and now we're down to flurries back this way. Doesn't look like much outside, maybe 2" or so -- roads were much better here than Altoona, where there was closer to 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I don't know exactly how much snow we have at the moment, but it's easily pushing 6 or 7". What a neat storm to follow, watch and then luckily get to witness. Snow's starting to slow down, but it's still falling. If ratios were evenly remotely good (they did improve around 8 when those heavy bands were sitting on top of us) we'd easily have 10"+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTWX Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 for the northern pa crew weekend clipper looks good. Yep... on to the next one. Both clippers, tomorrow night and Saturday, look decent. We (west of I-99) should get a few inches with the first, and just about everybody gets at least some on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ratios were evenly remotely good (they did improve around 8 when those heavy bands were sitting on top of us) we'd easily have 10"+. This thing was forecast to do just about everything except what it actually did. A week ago AccuWx was doing comparisons between this and the '93 Superstorm. We had the rain on the coast, snow inland scenario, the apps runner scenario and the "wide right" model. And then we ended up with something completely different - a double-barrel surprise that's going to be a bear to shovel. At least the early end to the snow will allow me to get out and clean up tonight.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Just shoveled seven inches of snow off my car here at Millersville University. It so incredibly wet, almost like shoveling wet concrete. With that I'm off to bed....enjoy the last few hours everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I guess I can go ahead and go shovel and not feel the need to "tidy up" in the morning. Precip is racing eastward faaaast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
