Laurel Highlands Wx Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I just measured a little over 1.5" here total so far today after that last squall moved thru. Looks like that squall put some more on the ground just down the road in Altoona with another squall coming off the mountain. There's some nice fluff to the snow today too. Easily the best of the year ratio wise. Thankfully I passed through before those squalls passed by. I was held up on I-99 due to an accident between Plank Road and Frankstown Road. Hate to be there or on 22 heading up the mountain. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Perhaps, but given the lack of blocking downstream to really lock in the cold air I believe the majority of numerical guidance will shift to this solution over the next two days. There might not be blocking downstream, but the wave looks really progressive. Just don't think it amplifies enough for any kind of a deep warm push into PA even if the low itself tracks really close. I'll entertain that this will likely come back north a bit on the models, but i'm just not seeing much mixing potential outside of far SW PA and SE pa under the turnpike.. and even then I expect the primary mix type would be sleet after a period of snow. Below the Mason-Dixon line could be a different story, but there's good chance DC at the least sees some measurable on the front end IMO. Right now I like the corridor between the turnpike (I-78 east of Harrisburg) and I-80 again for the best potential snow amounts when matching best QPF with best thermals for snow growth (basically the most efficient snow ratios).

NeffsvilleWx Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 18z GFS looks like roughly 5-7" with 15:1 ratio, for KMDT and KRDG It's a shame KLNS data isn't available on coolwx. The graphics there make it so easy to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Some snow flyin again here. Looks like there's some upslope enhancement starting to occur in Cambria (and likely Somerset County).

MAG5035 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Euro is your prototypical miller B event that gives PA a light to moderate snowfall (best south and east) and then blows up the coastal low late and hammers I-95 from DC-Boston.

What's it going to take for the east coast to see a true Miller A storm? Seems like it's been forever. Miller B's are ok, but someone usually gets "shafted" by them.

sauss06 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 About 1/2" of snow family is reporting back in Linglestown. i was with our softball team at the Legion in Lawnton on Derry street making subs. I came out about 6 and everything was covered and still coming down moderatly. But as i started home towards Cumberland county the snow got less and less. Our ground was lightly covered, but not like over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
