Mallow Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Could be. But I think we might see some redevelopment of our "part" of the band. We'll see, I guess. The opposite is still happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Multi-vehicle accident on the East-West Turnpike in NE Lancaster County. Entrapment and lane closures.

Mallow Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Wind has picked up here a little bit, and temperatures are cooling a little more. Seems like the snow might be a bit drier too, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallow Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 The opposite is still happening. Yup, I was wrong again. Per the latest HRRR, things should very gradually taper off from here on out up here in State College. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 as of now, not vry impressive here. though its been snowing for a long time, the grass is barely covered..32 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I just measured 2.6" on my car. Allowing for about 1" of melting/compaction (which is probably underestimating the amount of melting/compaction we've had), that would put us at about 3.5" for the daily total snowfall. We may see up to a half inch more the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Special Statement Expires 4:15 PM EDT on October 29, 2011 Statement as of 2:55 PM EDT on October 29, 2011 ... Very heavy snow will continue through at least 4 PM for areas between Harrisburg... Sunbury and Berwick... A wide band of extremely heavy snow will pivot over the middle and lower Susquehanna valley through at least 4 PM. At 3 PM... the band was about 40 miles either side of a line from Berwick to Duncannon to Chambersburg. Wind gusts to 30 mph are possible as well... which will down tree limbs and will cause power outages. The snow will reduce visibilities in this snow band to near zero at times. The snow will fall onto warm Road surfaces... which may cause it to quickly melt. This could create very icy conditions if the Road surface is untreated and the water freezes again. Lat...

canderson Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Also this snow is by far the heaviest I've experienced. It's like shoveling a swimming pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Just got back, I can say that the 11 inch amount on top of Wopsy reported to Brian (about 4-5 miles west of Altoona) is legit, I measured about 9.5-10" at the lookout. Absolutely amazing what a difference a few degrees and likely a much better snow ratio yielded up there. Pics forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
