EasternUSWX Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 South Central regions are only going to see 3-5 hrs of snow probably but, it will be falling at 1-2" per hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 That explains alot! Reminds me....when we get a slow weather period we should plan a GTG for next month somewhere. I know I mentioned it before but we should just go for it. Have to figure out a location that's good for everyone and then maybe book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itunis Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Ha, that's great stuff. I bet the top floor lounge area with the giant wall of screens will be hoppin' You guys seen the RUC? nice. Yep. Might even walk over there from East if there's snow in the air. But yeah, the RUC looks great. One thing-how will the very wet ground impact accum? I assume the saturated ground will eat up some snow, at least until the rates get going. Hopefully the poor ski resort down the road from here will finally get a base of snow that they can build on with manmade snow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 i had read that it may change over sooner, yes/No? Where did you read that? Looks like a change over around 7 p.m. around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Where did you read that? Looks like a change over around 7 p.m. around here. I'm not sure, i think another thread! I knew you had said between 7-9, so i just wanted to confirm and maybe plan my beer drinking around that. . So you're saying about 3-5 hours of heavy snow maybe, should be over then after midnight-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it does, other times not so much. It didn't seem to that much in October even after temps in the 60s a few days before. BTW, whoa, look at that bright banding to our west and south. Count me in!! How about somewhere around Lewistown on the 322 corridor??? Good idea. We can talk more once the weather calms down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can talk more once the weather calms down. Bright banding? Seems way too early for there to be that kinda stuff. Maybe to the west I can believe it, where UL temps are cooler, but not to our south where 850s are well above 0C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe to the west I can believe it, where UL temps are cooler, but not to our south where 850s are well above 0C. I'm pretty sure it's bright banding. Check out scans at other angles. Freezing level looks to be about 7,000 feet or so out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmister Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I can believe those brightband signals we see. Bright banding is just the increased reflectivity that a radar detects from melting snow. The combination of ice and liquid together returns a stronger signal to the radar. If you really want to, you can calculate roughly the melting height by using the distance from the radar to the bright band area and also the inclination of the radar (0.5 degrees).

Yeah, that makes sense. Johnstown's at 36 so the snow isn't far from the ground there. Also note the high reflectivity values over us on the composite radar-is there snow a few thousand feet above us that the higher-angle beams are catching melting?

Logan11 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 My mom and sister went down I-88 -> I-81 all the way to Jonesville, PA today - probably leave there around 3:00 PM to head home. That changeover to snow could affect them somewhere along the higher spots on 81 either in PA or into NY State early evening. I'll watch this thread for any obs. As I recall it gets rather high on that road in places. Hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how well Penny-Doofus-Dot does clearing the roads, expecting at least a moderate impact event. With temps continuing to fall as the storm moves out, def would pack smart.
