canderson Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Downtown Harrisburg, Front & Locust Snowing nicely and can't make out any bridges, roads down here aren't snow-covered though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllWeather Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Banding structures beginning to organize as our surface low undergoes cyclogenesis to our south. Most hi-res models keep the best banding in SE PA, but current radar out of LWX shows the strongest band in Maryland. We should be able to see some deform bands forming in SC and SE PA soon! PS - 1.5" and counting here in Lancaster. As Eastern said, it's incredibly fluffy and flying around with a breath of wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's that heavy band to your west, just north of the turnpike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllWeather Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Do you think MDT has any shot at getting in on those heavier bands? Doesn't seem like it wants to make it quite this far NW. The best omega values will likely be down to the southeast of MDT, so a "death band", probably not. However, some outlier deform bands could certainly develop around there during the late morning/early afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Marusak Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 guys and gals. just so you all know, for the next 18-24 hours, starting with the upcoming run, you're getting some extra ensemble model help from out here. John Wetter, who runs the hopwrf ensemble shifted it to the east coast. see hopwrf.info for more details. first run for you guys comes out in less than an hour, i think, based off the 12z runs. HopWRF @HopWRF 1h We have hopped! This domain will be in place starting with the 12Z runs (available around 10 AM). #northeastsnow http://ow.ly/i/4lOAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllWeather Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Do you think it will be backbuilding west to our area? What area? I'm on mobile. I would imagine the dry area west of DC fills in as the trough goes negative and approaches. I would bet that some of that enhancement is translated north into S and Central PA.

CarlislePaWx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Good morning everyone. Looks like Cumberland county won't be in the screw zone this event...lol. Just before 11am there's a nice band of 20 to 25 dbz's parked just to my west. It's been snowing heavily with the "fine" flakes for a good few hours now and it's looking like close to 2" here so far. Temp has been holding steady for quite a few hours just a tad below 22 degrees. You had to like the spc map out earlier this morning. It's always special (no pun intended) when you find yourself inside the curly cue circle(s). I think it's going to be about as wintry as it gets in these parts later today and tonight once the winds pick up and temps drop into the single digits and blowing snow is everywhere. Regardless of how much here I do sincerely send good wishes to the DC crew for as much as possible from this storm. Despite all of our occasional ranting they really have had a bad stretch of no significant storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 They really need to quit having managers meeting during a damn snow storm. Anyhow, 20 degrees with light to moderate snow. i haven't been out to measure, eye balling 2". People hear bitching about a bust, lol. Like we were to have 3" per hour and be done in 2.

Eskimo Joe Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 FROM Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency: Adams County Department of Emergency Services is requesting residents within a one half mile radius of the Knouse Foods Plant in Orrtanna to shelter-in-place until further notice. This is a precautionary measure because of a tractor trailer fire involving insulation material which is a potential respiratory irritant.You received this message because you registered on AlertPA.

PennMan Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Snow has picked back up in Bellefonte after a bit of a lull. Nicer flakes too. I'm trying not to have too many radar hallucinations...things look ok for us here for awhile if the dry air doesn't shut it down. Some weird echoes moving SSW on the CCX radar...something to do with the lower level cold air I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
