As is often the case, that band pretty much fell apart before reaching SC - have a dusting here. Yea i absolutely can't believe how rapidly it piled up.. it was def aided by very efficient snow crystal growth, It's settled down a bit with more of a steady light to moderate snow for now. Snow still looks pretty heavy in the State College area as per 511pa cams and there's a heavier portion of the band trying to come up from Huntingdon County. It does look like some of the very heavy stuff with this initial band did split north and south of State College a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Woke up this morning and ipt was in a dry slot on the radar. Was looking on cobb and it was showing ratio's as high as 22-1 for unv http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~ckarsten/cobb/cobb.php?model=gfsm&site=kunv Everyone enjoy their snow today!! I think we will be good for a couple inches here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllWeather Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Not that I believe this, but the HRRR has been consistently showing some decent snow totals for the southern tier counties in SC PA and into MD as well. Also, in the past 5 runs it has been bumping UP totals I think 8-10 in the Lower Susq Valley is way too high. It would take a prolonged period of +SN to get anywhere close to that, and the best dynamics appear off to the east. Anyone know anything about the HRRR? Wet/Cold bias? Possibly using too high of ratios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Boy did that band diminish between AOO and UNV. MAG will be our winner almost definitely as the area of precipitation over Central PA gradually weakens as SPC statement said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm thinking that HRRR almost has to be wrong looking at radar trends and other modeling?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllWeather Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm thinking that HRRR almost has to be wrong looking at radar trends and other modeling?? Shockingly, it's pretty close to what the radar looks like (comparing 11z forecast vs current) for SE PA, MD, DE, etc.. I think it's overdoing intensity as it goes through time, but 8-10 is obnoxious. Also, 8-10 in western Cumberland, Perry, Mifflin, Juniata is too high. But I've been fooled before, so who knows.

Wmsptwx Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Neffsville, looking at the radar you are south and east enough that you will get into the better dynamics/precip. Allweather I agree, SEPA looks to get in on some pretty nice dynamics that may include our extreme southeast guys. York, Lancaster, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowalot Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Here in Lititz north of Lancaster, moderate snow. Looks like about 1.5 to 2 inches. Starting to accumulate on the pavement. Heaviest I have seen it in a while. March 25th good accumulating snow finally arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
