djr5001 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 Capture.PNG 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? HRRR has been pretty good throughout this winter showing timing of events and been pretty close to what radar ends up looking like.... but the snow accumulation map has been too high for most of Susq valley except for last Monday.

Yeah, the puddled waterways will be tough for snow to stick though. Been snowing nicely the past 30 or so minutes, probably over 1" now. Sidewalks and all still bare though, but who cares - it's snowing on March 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 <rant>Given I saw two people fall hard on PSU sidewalks, and given maintenance hasn't had a chance to hit everything, and given using their ****ing head would make sense, would it kill PSU to open at 10 to allow staff to get the sidewalks at least near a resemblance of okay? And "it's just two inches" doesn't cut it, it's not about amount, it's about impact. I saw two people including an older woman fall this am, and the older woman probably broke her wrist. I hope one of the senior admins here fall and lapses into a coma, that way we might finally have a policy on snow events that doesn't put staff and students at risk. </rant> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're clear in the burbs here - ran through Camp Hill to Lower Allen this morning and same story. It wasn't snowing here until 4 or so I don't think (when I got up to pee at that time it wasn't). I think we had a little virga action for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerplunk Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Just measured 2" here. My earlier estimate of an inch was just eyeballing it - don't think we've had more than 1/2" more since then. Interesting little tongue creeping NW from Hbg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commuters, like myself, have it especially bad. It's already taken me almost an hour to get to class (normal commute is 30 mins), and other times, they've canceled just minutes before the start of classes.

Rick G Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I am writing my congress critter to complain about the lack of snow in NEPA this year I want them to pass a law to have at least one good snowfall a year. preaching to the choir, PSU hbg doesn't seem to care either. Commuters, like myself, have it especially bad. It's already taken me almost an hour to get to class (normal commute is 30 mins), and other times, they've canceled just minutes before the start of classes. I work at a smaller school but I understand how this whole thing works: 1. they will tell you that most businesses will not close in a minor snowfall. This is a prep for real life. 2. My school will tell you if you don't think it is safe, don't come to class. the teacher will work with you to cover the material. We can do that because we are a small school. 3. Finally, I do work with our closure team, they really try to be reasonable regarding closers. They do not seek the input of outside sources for weather info. they watch the local TV and maybe check the NWS. that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerplunk Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I guess I'm old school when it comes to delays and closures. There was nothing extraordinary about this snowfall. Nothing proper footwear and a little common sense caution couldn't handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Cleared off the boards at 5"... steady light snow falling. I'd imagine best accums are behind me here, but might be able to sneak another inch if rates stay good enough. Damage is already done though, a nice and well timed thump of snow.

NeffsvilleWx Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 This times a million...absolutely no need for any of the closings or delays. and no need for schools/business to wait until AFTER everyone arrives to clear sidewalks/parking lots. I saw 3 people fall in our parking lot this morning. I should add: a few weeks ago, a fence was erected (to the tune of over $10k) at my place of employment to prevent people from walking down a grassy hill because someone slipped and broke their leg on it during sandy. This was done in the name of safety. Fast forward to today: 3" of snow/slush covering the parking lot. Irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick G Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 IT doesn't matter if this is a non event for most people. We live in sue happy place. you fall on the ice, you sue. Parents are so used to school closing for minor snow falls, that if they don't close, then the parents panic. Kids get used to the schools closing early, when they get to college, they expect the same rules to apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
