NortheastPAWx Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 81-84 Apparent occlusion as the 980 isobar disappears. Low does a semicircle into S NY and then back to the PA/NY border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Big, big time snows on this NAM run from roughly JST-AOO-UNV west this run, and an insane deformation zone. Just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 This is a massive coastal, dear God. 5" precip for a lot of us, and the mountains see significant, warning level snow. This is awesome to see, especially given it's late April. Didn't know you could get these systems this late. Models are all in line, too, so it's not rogue. Rain holds out for us in the valley it appears until early evening Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 NAM snow map per accuweather prints out 12-15" over the Laurels and even 2-3" down into South Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Depending on how the leafing out is progressing up there, this would be crippling for many in the high elevations. A foot or more of gloppy snow on leafed out trees will bring a lot of them down, without even factoring in wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billabong Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Some big storms can occur in April... 17.2" of snowfall here in State College on April 28, 1928. The most concerning thing about this potential storm is that many areas have leafed out already. Even a couple inches of heavy, wet snow can cause some problems. Still a few days out with plenty of time for significant changes so I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a few days out with plenty of time for significant changes so I guess we'll see. I saw tree damage from the 10/25/05 storm with just a few inches of snow in State College, and I heard the stories about all the damage in State College after the 11/15/95 storm. A foot of snow would be quite damaging for many areas. If it really blows up and there's even higher snow totals and more wind, it could even be devastating.

EasternUSWX Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 This thing by tonight should be pretty well figured out. GFS having a little phasing issue leaving some energy out. Nothing new there.
