GrandmasterB Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I'm assuming we can throw ops in here...snowing moderately in Lebanon since ~8:30. Grass covered, starting to stick on pavement. Hoping to cash in this afternoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 600' ASL 600' ASL isn't too bad. I'm at 304' and have snow beginning to accumulate on non-paved surfaces just an hour after the changeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Clouds Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 abc27 going with 2-6 inches now WGAL is also saying 3-6. Why can't they be bold FOR ONCE and say 4-6 or 6-8 inches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-83 BLIZZARD Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 This was taken almost an hour ago. There is now a solid 1/2 inch on the deck and the grass, roofs, car is covered. Driveway just has a little slush near the edges but mostly wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gbru316 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 100% snow now in Lancaster, light accumulation on vehicles but piling up quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Coming down moderately. Grassy areas well coated apart from depressions, and definitely at least 1/2" on car tops. Snow is melting immediately when it hits paved surfaces, so no road problems until this evening most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 What a sight! Light rain to moderate snow in one hour!! All non-paved surfaces are snow covered. Just four hours ago it was 39! Temperature 32 Dew Point 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Be careful guys and gals. I have picked up about 1.5 inches of snow this morning and I was just out and saw several branches crack and come down. It was kind of scary and this is not as much as you guys are going to get. Stay safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I recall Mallow saying something like, an inch by 10AM would mean we're on track. Is this still holding true, in your guys' opinions? I've tempered my expectations, certainly, but just curious. Unfortunately it does look like the heavier band progged for later today has shifted east on the models, so though we're "right on track" now, I think it's much more likely we end up with 3-5 inches. Given how difficult it seems to be for this snow to really stick around on any but the coldest surfaces, the lower end of that estimate may be the most reasonable. I don't remember who it was last night talking about just this scenario (and I laughed them off ), but they were right and I was wrong. EDIT: It was Wmsptwx That all being said, I'm enjoying the snow we do get today. Any snow in October is awesome! Oh, and here about 1 mile south of campus (Pugh and Easterly), we have a decent coating on everything but paved surfaces (which are still just wet). We might be approaching 1/2" in the exposed grassy areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 A heavy, wet snow continues to fall at a moderate pace. We are officially below freezing in Manor Twp. Temperature: 31 Dew Point: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Taking a look aloft, the 850 temps are now below freezing across all of Pennsylvania. All that's left is the low level thickness (540 line) which is draped across I-81. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Seeing all these huge temperature drops makes me jealous! We can't manage to drop even another few tenths of a degree here in State College. Per the Walker Building obs, we're just stuck between 34.1F and 34.6F. It may be reading a little warm (a degree?), but it's certainly not below freezing yet out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 I think I-81 may wind up being the demarcation line for the heavy precip. This low seems to be bottoming out pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upper level temps and thicknesses should be cooling through the day though, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighter precip means less qpf and less ability to cool the surface. Upper level temps and thicknesses should be cooling through the day though, right? Ya, but even when the heavier snow was falling, the temperature didn't drop much at all. With the airmass cooling in general, though, temperatures have to cool with the next good band, I would think.
