EasternUSWX Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 2 to 3 inches!!!! I'd streak through LHU's campus if we got that.....this winter I will take anything that covers the grass. Ya man. Also some snow Thursday night Friday possible. Many 1-2" in areas west of Sus. Valley and 2-4" in mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Extremely light precip. So light and brief that it actually swings through and is gone fast enough that the majority of it should come down as flakes everywhere except for SW PA. Some spotty stuff swings through later when the temps are inductive of mix precip. Light as in less than half of an inch?? I don't think I could take another one of those lol.

JamieOber Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Bring on the clipper! High ratios ftw. Would be nice if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Bring on the clipper! I was about to say, the NAM looks to give much of C PA a tasty treat in the form of an inch or two of snow overnight Thurs. Temps not an issue, with the timing helping to maximize accum from a weak system. 45 outside. Actually feels a bit muggy with a coat on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSU8315 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 High ratios ftw. Would be nice if it happens. I'm a little weary of amounts this high given that the clipper is passing to our north and not to the south, but ratios will help with this one. Probably the first time we've been able to say that this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 lol, with this winter...I'll take 2 - 4" every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckyplayer8 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 lol, with this winter...I'll take 2 - 4" every day. Needs to remain cold or I would too. Constant shots of 1-2 that don't automatically melt/evap are way better than a single 3-6 inch storm any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTWX Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Bring on the clipper! What's promising is that the nam, euro and gfs are all similar. Not huge, but 1 to 3 inches north of I-80 across the whole state (include the Laurels due to topography) would be welcome this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Forecasting temps here for these sort of situations must be one of the top ten toughest forecasts to make. The worst was Christmas Eve 2009, had freezing rain much longer than expected . It was actually Christmas Eve of 2008 when we had that ice storm I believe, and yea that one was an overachiever for sure. Just found my pics of that debacle. Xmas eve storm I guess our road had an oil truck that had a mishap going into a tree this morning around 5 or 6am from the icy road. The road iced up around 8pm last night so our township was def not on the ball with taking care of roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the first time we've been able to say that this winter. Yeah, the clipper surface track is rather far north. Although looks like a nice 1-2 possible northern half of Pa at least?

PoconoSnow Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The way it looks now, Saturday is gonna be painful for southern PA folkes!

PennMan Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 We never really warmed up here today, and the temp has fallen considerably in the past few hours. Currently 34.3° off a high of 43°. Meanwhile it's 54° in the Harrisburg area. One "benefit" of living further ENE up the Great Valley, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile it's 54° in the Harrisburg area. One "benefit" of living further ENE up the Great Valley, I guess. Yeah. Occasionally when we get these overrunning events and get a decent Easterly wind, the lower level cold dams up on the opposite side of the Apps. Still would rather be on the other side though as its more beneficial for snows, where as we usually benefit icy mix wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmister Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Pretty amazing temperatures outside considering this is the coldest week (give or take) of the year! In other news, things are looking pretty good for a moderate wintry event for at least the northern half of the state. Snow to ZR to rain seems likely. Some places may approach warning criteria for ZR, so that will have to be watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
