Itstrainingtime Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Good luck everyone up north of my locale, I'm preparing for my 93rd trace of the winter with both eyes glued to what happens one week from today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Highlands Wx Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Looks like from traffic cameras in Cambria county its sleet and freezing rain. If it stays snow it would fall 1-2 inch per hour rates. Johnstown is actually snow and sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllWeather Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 HRRR is pretty bullish... Has about 4-6" of accumulated snow for C PA at this time too. It'll be interesting to see who holds the cool air. I'm near Lancaster so I imagine I'll be one of the first to transition to sleet/mix/rain.

AllWeather Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Pouring snow just to the north of Johnstown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiier04 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The band coming in is intensifying and looking impressive. Gonna pour snow for a while no doubt. It really is looking like there might not be much behind it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001kx Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 SNOW IS ON MY DOOR STEP NOW...GOT VERY WINDY FOR ABOUT 5 MINS. LOOKS LIKE THE RADAR IS FILLING IN SOME AROUND PITTSBURGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel Highlands Wx Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Snow starting to mix in Ebensburg. Cresson Mountain is all snow. I would say UNV and AOO look good for all snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllWeather Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Surface wet-bulb temps have the 0c line to the south of the entire state. Shouldn't have a problem starting off as snow for mostly everyone living in this subform... And if that wasn't enough, there's some screamin' frontogenesis to the south of the main batch of precip. That should help keep the precip developing on the southern edge, and if the HRRR is right, it'll add to the radar and help expand the precip shield through time.

skiier04 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Best post I've read all day AllWeather! Thanks for your input as always. Band's on the doorstep of centre county now.... here we go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Wow..it may not last but 2 hours but that band is going to mean business coming through here..lol. How do these storms get so short. The precip shield will likely enhance to the west as dynamics due to frontogenesis take over. Snow should come in heavy, and hopefully persist. Good luck!!

jm1220 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Nice timing for me to be in a windowless lecture hall I remember being in Forum as the 10/25/2005 event got underway. It was a cold rain at 9am when I walked in with a flake or two mixed in. When I left at 10am it was a snowglobe outside and there was already maybe an inch on the ground. Needless to say, people were flipping out. I was pissed that I missed out on the start of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiier04 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Light snow started about 15 minutes here and picking up fast now--close to moderate already. Starting to coat the sidewalks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmister Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The stuff falling in State College now is picking up, but I'm not convinced it's true snow. It looks like these are snow grains which partially melted and refroze before the ground. They aren't silent flakes but not as loud as sleet, but somewhere in between.

Wmsptwx Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Not good if that's sleet at UNV already. I thought with just that batch we would dryslot before it changed over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meteo Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The roads are completely covered while the snow has been heavy for the last 30 minutes. probably close to 2 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmister Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Not good if that's sleet at UNV already. I thought with just that batch we would dryslot before it changed over. I'm willing to bet it goes to a more pure snow as the evaporational cooling cools the column slightly. We still have a 9 degree dewpoint depression (at the surface) here.
