MAG5035 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Well this is impressive to see on March 25th. Look how far south the snow is today. There also are freeze warnings all the way to the Gulf Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogan Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Very nice storm for March. I'm putting 3.3" in the books for this one. Second biggest storm of the season. This brings the season total to 19.2" which is below the seasonal average of 26.5". All in all, a very quiet 19.2". We nickel and dimed our way to get what we did. Maybe next year will be our year. A few things I learned this season. 1. Don't bet against the pattern. 2. Miller B's can and will disappoint. 3. Don't trust the Nam precip totals. I appreciate the mets and others who share their knowledge and insight on this forum. I have learned a lot this season. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmsptwx Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Alright guys, lets give a favorite storm and least favorite storm of the season to wrap up winter. Favorite: 12/29/12...This one was a big time over achiever for Lycoming County in general. 2 to 4 forecast we ended up with a hair over 6. Least Favorite: IF this counts, Hurricane Sandy. Barely any wind and rain was very pedestrian. February 8th debacle close 2nd...with forecast of 4 to 8 we had 1 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't here for that one, my favorite is probably the surprise 3" or so we got in February (I think?). Quick evening thump that stuck to everything. Overall an OK winter, didn't get to see a warning criteria snow but we nickel and dimed our way to 42" for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001kx Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 for me it was the 2 back to back storms in december. 6" + 5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 My favorite was the February 13th event, with the snowflakes that were big enough to knock someone out (youtube video below). Close second was the 14.6" between the series of snow events Christmas week. Honorable mention was the thundersnow we got last Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashtown_Coop Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 since all events were small down here, my favorite would be the xmas eve mood snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 since all events were small down here, my favorite would be the xmas eve mood snow. For me it was the 12/29 event even though it wasn't the largest accumulation of the season. That storm, for about an hour or so, produced the most intense rates out of all the storms.

kerplunk Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 My buddy and I were walking back from the gym and he got smacked by a big gob that fell off a tree. Looked up and there was a squirrel running up the branch. We obviously need a helmet law for when it snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 We obviously need a helmet law for when it snows. Ahh, the legendary Penn State Squirrels causing a ruckus.

Wmsptwx Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah Im starting to agree with you guys we only had a little over an inch on christmas eve, but the atmosphere it created and my nephews finally getting to see snow on xmas make it special.

JamieOber Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 My favorite was Dec. 26: http://www.weather.gov/ctp/SnowDec26_2012 I got just over 8. UNV was the jackpot. The combination of that, right after Xmas, and some lolz on here during it makes it for me. Official totals for that up here: UNV: 8.5 IPT: 7.8 AOO: 7.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Christmas Eve was my favorite, only storm I got over 2". This winter to me was worse than last winter, it was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 13.5" for the season will be my final total. Probably. Maybe. We'll see. Just a bit under 50% of climo here...not good, though the past couple of weeks have certainly made it respectable. I gave an inerrant report yesterday, ended up with 4".

Wmsptwx Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I think April 1 to 3rd is more promising than alot of what we've had. Still lots of cold air...and nothing will be as suppressed. Look out lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Sheesh...silver dollar sized? Pretty much, some of them were near golf ball size.. and it snowed like that for over an hour. Btw I liked your rolling obs video in the one Philly thread. If your ever in this neck of the woods in the wintertime, Altoona to Ebensburg rolling obs would be an adventure on a snowy day haha.
