PottercountyWXobserver Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Just got back from class, we have exactly 6" of snow from the storm. Looking at the radar we might be able to squeeze another 1" of snow. The snow has been that type of 6:1 rainy/snow mixture, it has completely caked on everything. I haven't had the chance to measure the QPF amounts since 7AM, so I will wait for the storm to be over to let you guys know. Side note, the GFS is still indicating northern PA receives 2-5" from a mini storm saturday night before the deluge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Wondering how close our in-house model was? It had 3 to 5" up your way.... It did better than the GFS, NAM they were indicating based off from the Bufkits out of KBFD 7-12" . We currently have 6", with the back end coming through soon, maybe we can add another .5-1" of snow, we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Monday looks to be a substantial flood threat if we get enough precip. GFS verbatim here has ~1.40" QPF and temps getting into the 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 It's very bright in Harrisburg. I thought the sun was out but it's just very white clouds overhead allowed it to come through so brightly. Very little rain since 9 a.m. here.

We should be in your neck of the woods late afternoon. The light snow has let up here...roads are just wet. The roads are miserable here at least, its just hard to plow it since its caking on everything. The roads might be ok up until clinton county I'm sure, I haven't heard of any reports further south of here. The storm kinda underperformed, but I think alot of that has to do with the crappy ratios. You should be fine though, because in about 20 minutes the storm will be just about done.

Still coming down, but the edge is pushing through, that was a great burst of snow. Whoever is just to the east of me may pick up a quick 1-2".

MAG5035 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Getting a little wind here now, but not bad. The snow is coming down though, picked up a fresh coating pretty fast. Just some snow of the bs variety down here off the mountain. Was pleasantly surprised how well the snowpack held up, still looks to be the 3-4 inches i measured late last night during the rain with no major holes. I suspect the monday storm will be a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the monday storm will be a different story. I thought for sure we'd lose more snow here than we did. It's compressed down, but the grass is still covered in 95% of the areas I saw. Helped that we held between 32-34° for the entire event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
