EasternUSWX Posted December 8, 2013 Do you think the ice overperforms? Maybe for for someone near the PA/MD line from Franklin county to York county. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EasternUSWX Posted December 8, 2013 Massive flakes here. Golf ball sized. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djr5001 Posted December 8, 2013 This thing looks like it will be ending much before tomorrow morning as was forecast. Anyone want to chime in on whether to expect the ZR part of the storm overnight to come? Looks like the radar is very spotty. I think most of this ends before the warm air gets north... really struggling here northwest of harrisburg... expecting bigger flakes to start here any minute... have a dusting so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EasternUSWX Posted December 8, 2013 RAP icing tonight. More comes after this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djr5001 Posted December 8, 2013 Ice part forms late. RAP has it moving in by 9pm. Heavy icing souther tier counties, especially right on the MD line. I cant imagine with low precipitable water levels that these good rates right now will be able to sustain long enough for significant icing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamieOber Posted December 8, 2013 Snowing pretty hard right now. Was out with the dogs in it. Our one greyhound's first winter, she's a Florida girl who appears to be quite thrilled by snow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paxpatriot Posted December 8, 2013 Congrats on the snow down south, guys. Thanks! Almost forgot what a real snowstorm looked like it's been so long here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexP Posted December 8, 2013 Can anyone explain why this one is over performing for so many people? Earlier start? Colder temps? Better banding? A meteorologist buddy of mine blamed it on mesoscale banding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
717WeatherLover Posted December 8, 2013 There are about 11 accidents on the PA Turnpike between Harrisburg and New Jersey. Every overpass on I83 and the turnpike are solid sheets of ice. The only reason we are out is to get my mother in law who was in a 30 car accident near Morgantown. Don't travel is you don't absolutely have to. I also am worrying about my son returning to Selinsgrove to SU from Pittsburgh. Stay safe all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EasternUSWX Posted December 8, 2013 Radar still back building down here. Might still be snowing another 1-2hrs. Up to 4" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamieOber Posted December 8, 2013 I thought the snow was winding down here but growing area of pretty good snow forming to our west. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heavy_wx Posted December 8, 2013 I thought the snow was winding down here but growing area of pretty good snow forming to our west. Yes kind of in an area of 850 mb frontogenesis where the flow is decreasing along streamlines with a significant component parallel to the thermal gradient.

JamieOber Posted December 8, 2013 Yes kind of in an area of 850 mb frontogenesis where the flow is decreasing along streamlines with a significant component parallel to the thermal gradient.

CarlislePaWx Posted December 8, 2013 Been snowing moderately to almost occasionally heavily for the past hour. The snow rates don't appear to be mimicking the radar presentation. Up to 1.5" total as of 10 minutes ago. Temp holding at 25.5 degrees still. I'm beginning to think I will reach the 2" mark with this one making it a "good storm" in my perspective. Any storm that manages to completely cover the ground is a good storm. Local roads are finally now snow-covered as the sun's radiative effects begin to diminish.

meteo Posted December 8, 2013 The radar in the deep south looks like its lighting up pretty good. Does anybody think that will get up here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
