Itunis Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Laurel Summit had 6.5" according to the PNS. Nice. 6" on the ridge tops just south of State College wouldn't surprise me. GFS gives DC some hope of breaking their streak of no >2" snowfall lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scummyratguy Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Haven't seen many obs from the LSV hood, so figured I'd chip in and let ya'll know I'm eyeballing .75in here in the hills of E. YoCo. Very unofficial on my deck. Didn't start to stick until 8ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 .25" might've fallen from the sky but never stuck to anything even metal. Up to 11.6" on this awesome year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 .25" might've fallen from the sky but never stuck to anything even metal. Up to 11.6" on this awesome year. I tried pushing my good snows your way, Chris. Guess I was fighting a losing battle. Hang in there...maybe we've got a shot Friday night? Ended up with probably between 0.5" and 0.7" for final total. At least it was enough to end my anger snap! I think you reiterated my feelings about satisfaction from events the other night when you said that at least 2" is satisfying, 4" is better, and 8+ oustanding. I feel the same way. It takes about 2" to completely cover the grass. That's when I feel like a good snow has fallen. However, I've had like 3 0.5" events in a row now and they aren't that much fun...especially when more was expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Euro and GFS continue to be very active with a storm threat next Tuesday and then towards the end of next week there has been a another moisture laden storm that has been pretty consistent on both models. Concerning the Tuesday system, which is a moderate precip event both Euro and GFS have a lakes low but the Euro seems to be cold enough for snow for alot of PA with its elongated low pressure and reflection to the coast whereas GFS has a more typical GLC look with ptypes being mostly rain (although GFS is pretty close to doing what the Euro does). It'll be something to watch, this type of look with these storms on the models around this range has been a theme this winter. The long range may not look overly cold wrt to averages, but boy does it look active. For the Friday thing the 0z NAM was showing as well as the GFS a bit further southeast, The European has a bit of a wave but just some light precip for PA. 03 SREFs broadbrushed modest 1+ probs over most of PA lending a bit of support to the NAM. There will likely be some kind of wave that fires along the boundary as the cold air residing for the weekend presses down... the question is where. Hopefully for the folks here that missed out on Wednesdays surprise thump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpers61 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I was driving from Wrightsville to Hallam yesterday at 5PM and went from flakes to rain to big flakes to nothing in four miles. This was an interesting event looking at some of the totals across the midstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 When do we get out of this stormy, unsettled pattern we're in? My 45 year old arthritic joints don't care for it very much. Need me some sunshine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogan Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The tale of the tape here... .8" snow - .17" liquid Unfortunately this storm barely registered on the ole excitement meter. The good news is that the snow blower stays in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Couldn't post yesterday, but i was suprised too see Chris (Hbg) and Stephen (Carlisle) were posting they were not seeing snow. At 530 i walked out of softball practice (Enola) to get something out of my Tahoe and it was crazy snow, huge flakes, but as reported by my neighbor, it was melting on contact. I recorded 42 as my high yesterday. Maybe our temps didn't drop as quickley as others?? This moring i did wake up to a icey crunchy crust on the driveway and grassy area's.

I ended up with .2" (brought in rain guage to let it melt then forgot to measure before leaving...oops) ... looking at cocorahs obs (which i suggest everyone who already takes daily precip obs should join) I am currently the lowest in the area which does not happen often... craziest part is MDT reported 1.5" while there was nothing in the city... heat island effect keep temps just high enough to melt everything falling?

JamieOber Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 nice shots Jamie. Whats your total up to now, 25-30 inches? UNV has around 30, I would imagine. I don't think they've included this into their total yet. I would say, given this has been a very typical snow winter here, MBY got a little bit more. We've had a few minor event "overachievers" this winter. While we've had one 8" storm, the one thing missing is a double-digit event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F me. This is the only time I remember myself receiving significantly less than MDT and even a bit less than Jon (sauss). There was no ice anywhere this morning, no slush, just water puddles. I'm pretty convinced I won't see 4" snow in one storm ever, ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hey dude hoping it works out for you, and you guys are most likely to cash in on anything that happens tomorrow night. I felt same way you feel in 09 to 10, then the next year was good. All cyclical...youll cash in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
