canderson Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 PennDOT has lowered the speed limits on all the interstates around Harrisburg, I assume it also has been lowered for most the rest of the state too. Edit: This is why: http://www.local21news.com/news/features/traffic/#.UsXdu7Q2FnU?wap=0 Traffic isn't moving on them at all. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennMan Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yea this really wasn't supposed to be an overly dynamic event around here with constant 1-2" per hour rates, but more of a moderate one that should be very persistent and linger a long while this evening as temps crash. We'll still get to our 3-4" eventually I'm sure. Yeah, it will just take us 12+ hours to get it. Snowing about as hard as it has all day in Bellefonte, ~1mi vis. A fresh inch on the ground on top of the 0.5-1" that was already there. Temp is 21°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yes. The radar seems to indicate that. I don't know what people were expecting, but it seems to going along with what I was expecting. And this stuff is already blowing around. Can't wait for the winds. I honestly didn't expect this early my outdoor thermometer is reading 26... what do you have? 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexP Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 FWIW, Eric Finkenbinder on ABC 27 pointed out a hole in the radar to the southwest of Harrisburg that could bring the accumulating snow to a halt for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Heavy snow here in Carlisle. Picked up a quick 0.5" past 45 minutes...now up to 1.5" as of 5:00. Temp down to 25 now. I can't see how we can't reach at least 3" at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Man it's going to be a close call with the inverted trough here. RAP seems to imply about .35 precip by 4am; which is a good chance at 5-6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr5001 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 WV/IR imagery isn't showing dry air aloft... so that's a plus at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Did anyone else notice this earlier? That was so strange. If it weren't for the cold air and lack of leaves on the trees, I thought it looked like a summer day. I noticed this coming back home from DC last night on the home stretch up I-99 from the turnpike. Was looking for the ski resort lights on top of Blue Knob and could only make out an area that was somewhat lit up since the mountains were already clouded over. Then coming into Altoona I saw the haze in the big lights where the interchanges are and thought the snow was already starting. This was all the way back around midnight last night, the low levels were def ready to go pretty early in the game. Also was a sizeable thermal gradient below the mason dixon. Left Arlington and it was about 42F, I-70 was generally around 30-31F. Still around 30 at Bedford and by the time I got home it was 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paxpatriot Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 That dry slot worries me. What are the thoughts on here about that? Should we expect. Any help from the developing coastal, or are we pretty much looking at snow showers after that slot moves in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm not so sure it's a dry slot as its just the coastal taking over as it moves away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm not so sure it's a dry slot as its just the coastal taking over as it moves away. I believe you are right on with that. I'm watching to see if the snow shield begins to take a more north-northwest component...if not we're finishes in about 2 hours. About 1.5" here, 26 degrees.

Porsche Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 1 1/2 inches already. Looking forward to later on, hope we get in on the heavier bands and don't have to worry about the dry slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfox1 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Most models I saw had that dry slot. Even the snow total maps had that area in the least amount of snow in that area so don't think its time to panic for York Lancaster area at least.
