Wmsptwx Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'm thinking sooner than that, it's wrapping up and moving out quick! Let's hope the precip stays heavy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Still thinking good totals. JST: 6-8" AOO: 4-7" UNV: 3-5" IPT: 3-5" MDT: 2-4" HGR: 1-3" SHIP 3-5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Still thinking good totals. JST: 6-8" AOO: 4-7" UNV: 3-5" IPT: 3-5" MDT: 2-4" HGR: 1-3" SHIP 3-5" This will be a storm (for most of us) where a lot more snow falls than sticks. We've probably had 1, or even 2 inches fall, but only a light coating to show for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmister Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Lightened up a bit. Is the timing still looking like snow will be done around midnight or so here? Probably our snow will end closer to 10pm. I don't know how much further west the heavy snow will develop as radar indicates the heaviest precipitation may already be over for us. That's not to say we won't get another 4-5 hours of light to moderate snow. I think the winners will be 25-50 miles east of State College in a SW to NE axis. Here is my thinking for best snowfall on top of the latest radar image. Higher elevations especially. Sorry for the ugly presentation, I don't really know of any good mac graphics programs for maps like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Itunis that's exactly whats going on here. Snowing like mad but not laying. 1-3 may be in order, but hey...Its snowing!!! I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itunis Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 The sun is setting, so that should help increase accumulations. Yeah, the temperature will steadily fall so that's in our favor. Still gonna be tough to overcome the wet ground, but some snow is better than no snow. I guess I was spoiled by the January 10 storm last year back home-temps in the low 20s, cold ground, snow everywhere. Even up here we can get sloppy storms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 We have at least a half inch on my car, and the side streets and sidewalks (away from trees) have a slushy (but white) coating. I'm really interested to see what that band over Dale-Boswell-Somerset is going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in particular that I remember is 3/22/05, which was a very sloppy and wet snow that was primarily rain in the deeper valleys. Also, 10/25/05 was very gloppy and wet snow. The driest snow I've seen up there was on Easter, 2007 when we had 5" of absolute air-laden lake effect powder. It was gone within 24 hours.

JamieOber Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Was surprised when I got home. Rain/snow mix, no accumulations 12 miles west of State College in Port Matilda, 34.2. Ground appears white in State College on Web cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 4 or 5" of wet snow that disappeared within a day-in mid February. Guess temps in the mid 50s and the good ol' southern sun can do a number on snow. On topic, it's snowing lightly. Pretty picturesque. Maybe a little snow will be left to get us into the holiday spirit during finals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Matilda was just west of the heaviest band. State College had more than Skytop which had just a dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 15" we got in the early Feburary 2010 snow was dry - I remember because my co-worker told me his kid was crying because he couldn't make a snowman lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
