stormspotterlive Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 ya Noticing that now but if it was colder it would of been double digit snow fall. Also to see this much QPF on the GFS is big it is not a model of choice for convective banding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 ..A DANGEROUS LINE OF SNOW SQUALLS WILL AFFECT BEDFORD...BLAIR... CENTRE...CLINTON...EASTERN CAMBRIA...EASTERN CAMERON...EASTERN CLEARFIELD...EASTERN SOMERSET...FULTON...HUNTINGDON...MIFFLIN... POTTER...SOUTHEASTERN ELK...SOUTHWESTERN JUNIATA...TIOGA...WESTERN FRANKLIN AND WESTERN LYCOMING COUNTIES... AT 612 PM EST...A LINE OF DANGEROUS SNOW SQUALLS EXTENDED FROM JAMESTOWN NEW YORK SOUTHWARD TO CLARION...GREENSBURG AND INTO THE WEST VIRGINIA PANHANDLE. THE SQUALLS MARKED THE LEADING EDGE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT SLICING ACROSS THE ALLEGHENY PLATEAU AND RAPIDLY PUSHING TOWARDS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN REGION. WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH ARE POSSIBLE WITH THIS DANGEROUS SNOW SQUALL. THE SNOW WILL RAPIDLY DROP VISIBILITIES IN THIS DANGEROUS SNOW SQUALL TO LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A MILE. IN ADDITION...TEMPERATURES WILL FALL BELOW FREEZING AFTER THE LINE OF SQUALLS EXITS...CAUSING UNTREATED ROAD SURFACES TO FREEZE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Who wants to make a bet. I say accumulating snows don't make it east of Clearfield to Johnstown. My bet 5 bucks sent to you're address lol. So you are saying at least .25-.5" won't even make it to State College? Ya i'll take that bet. I hope it survives to Hazy...haven't seen a good snowburst since last March. Do any of you think it'll make it this far east? It looks quite solid at the moment, but what do the mountains do to it?

JamieOber Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 .9" here, snow winding down, might get to an inch. One part of the squall had wind gusts up to 40 or so with blinding snow. Very cool, wind was roaring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 I ended up with just a hair over an inch, and its the type that caked on everything. I'm sure roads are a mess. Haven't been extremely vigilant on seasonal totals but with 4" from the Oct and 9.2" from the two events on the 20th/21st plus the 3" from that one lake effect event that had the overachieving squall plus about 4 inches of bs snows from everything else including this one. So yea round 20ish for the season...I guess it could be worse. Actually using UNV's seasonal totals this ones already at/exceeded 1999-2000. Which had 19.8" for the whole season at UNV.

kerplunk Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Nor that was a great little squall line. Really held together when it came through and even elongated for SC while falling apart just to out south. The reverse of most events this year.
