JamieOber Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Constant light snow overnight and a nice heavier burst of dendrites this morning led to me clearing off 3.2" of total snowfall since yesterday with a snow depth in the yard of around 4.5". Pretty good start to clipper fest 2013 this week. That's what we got, to a tee, including totals. Not laying on roads but laying on the snow, that's for sure. Currently have a pretty good band moving through, coming down hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmsptwx Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Ehhh wouldnt say regionwide they have us at 40% chance and less than half of an inch. No worries though, we tend to do poorly in clippers. Hoping late week threat works out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Precip blossoming pretty good on CCX radar now, with light snow starting to fall here. Here's a CCX image (with a snow color scheme). In case your wondering, the blobs of very dark blue/red is the radar beam being low enough to pick up on the multitude of windmills that now dot the high ridges of the Allegheny front as well as in Northern Cambria County.

One of the windmills are so close you could pull off 219 and walk up the hill and stand at the base of the turbine. it's quite a sight to see. Btw ended up with a total of 4 inches before leaving home. Total snow pack was 6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Snowglobe stuff here not really adding up but great to watch. Hoping tmrw overperforms, any chance Mag? 0z NAM and GFS as well as 21z SREFs don't seem extremely impressed with it. It will likely provide another period of light snow similar to tonight's. Prolly an inch and under off the mountains and 1-2 in the western mountains. Attention then shifts to our potential late week system... where the Euro has been suggesting a late blooming coastal storm and the GFS has occasionally straight up lacked the southern stream wave responsible for making one happen. Well, until this 0z run.. where GFS suddenly makes southern wave the main deal. This system is likely going to be the first indication of the southern branch of the jet coming back to life.. but the pattern remains progressive, and thus if we get a coastal to fire off it'll probably be either too late (if it phases) or too far south. Either way, both models have been indicating light to moderate QPF associated more with the northern branch feature. P-type is probably going to be an issue for some portion of the area. The early take of the NAM with the system in lol-range is actually a light rainfall for all of PA as it seems to be more dominant with the northern stream wave. Even if that was the outcome, i'd hardly believe that cut and dry of a scenario for interior central PA as mixed precip and/or freezing rain would be a more likely issue with stale cold left over at the surface. Ton's of uncertainty with this yet.. in order for this to be any kind of decent event for PA we'll need a more robust southern stream system closer to what the Euro has but developing earlier (which could be a tall order in the aforementioned progressive pattern). Right now it looks like an only somewhat wetter event precip amount wise than our clippers have been for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
