JamieOber Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Post of the day Jamie Thx. Looks like a dry slot moving over LSV but a lot more precip from the ocean moving NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paweatherguy1 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Post of the day Jamie The problem with the dc and NYC crew is they expect every storm to be 12 inches or more. If it isn't they complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 well i just looked here at work, the only place snow is accumulating is in the flower beds on the tanbark. what a cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 well i just looked here at work, the only place snow is accumulating is in the flower beds on the tanbark. what a cut off. Quite a bit of the snow is actually rain when it hits the ground. I've never seen anything quite like it. Our exec director is going to be PISSED when he hears they shut down the office. He's out of town and someone's head will roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar looks decent: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?product=N0R&rid=dox&loop=yes Stupid question - when was the last time there was NW moving precip during a snow event?

I think this is the issue for us LNS folks. A ripping east wind with no cold air source. Temps have nudged up another degree in the past hour to 36.7F currently.

Lancaster should be split from York in the winter storm warning... the east/northeasterly winds are pulling in just enough warm air to keep temps just above freezing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Lancaster should be split from York in the winter storm warning... the east/northeasterly winds are pulling in just enough warm air to keep temps just above freezing Agreed 100 percent. The weather different between York and Lancaster is usually always quite different in winter events it seems. I'm really happy I never thought this storm would amount to much here; if I had I'd currently be SO PISSED off I'd be seeing red. Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowalot Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Going to work I went further south from Lititz (more northern Lancaster) to Lancaster proper only about 6 ro 7 miles but right on that RT 30 dividing line and still NADA. Disappointing to say the least. Perhaps more to go and this will come about, but truly feel the donut hole of nothingness has descended upon this area. For all others though experiencing great snow - very cool for you. If perhaps one of you could drive some over here that would be appreciated.

Wmsptwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Pittsburgh did great unreal totals of over 8 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Pittsburgh did great unreal totals of over 8 inches. We have areas over here north of Pittsburgh that were supposed to get 1-2 and ended up with over 10. South of the city was supposed to get hammered and they got less. It goes to show that these models are not to be used as an exact science for snowfall totals. Bands set up at different places. I went to bed at midnight and it was just starting to flurry and woke up to 7 inches at 6:00 am. I was in a 4-6 area. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 i guess my question would be, where did the warm air come from, was it pulled in off the coast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeffsvilleWx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 5 miles west of mountville in York county, roads were plowed to clear the slop. Maybe 1-2" of accumulation. Unreal gradient. Light rain just outside of York city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr5001 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 i guess my question would be, where did the warm air come from, was it pulled in off the coast? when the cloud cover moved in last night it kept temps at locations to the east and northeast of us in the upper 30s with no incoming precip to help cool those temps... so combined with the onshore winds from the ocean it set off a chain reaction... temps from 30s pushed into eastern pa so places like reading were sitting at 39... then this pushed further west into areas like lancaster and then harrisburg which only fell to 33 without being able to get any accumulation going overnight it played out just like paweatherguy had mentioned a few days ago where the rates were not heavy enough to keep temps cold enough after sunrise... now we are fighting too much warmer air to the point where we likely wont see any accumulation if you dont already have any until winds become more northerly to northwesterly as it is moving out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
