JamieOber Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The national radar mosaic really shows the expansion of heavy rates in MD. In larger scale systems such as this, I find it much more useful for reflectivity than GR3. http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/full_loop.php I like it but the only problem is it doesn't update as much.

CarlislePaWx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just want 2 more inches to reach the elusive 6" mark. Same here except I need 3 more inches! That 20 dbz band is just about to descend southward enough to reach me as the biggest flakes of the storm are beginning to fall here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 really getting going down here. snow picking back up to moderate and is at times horizontal... I hope it continues to expand north and west of us. Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yeah, my brother told me that it's really snowing in Manchester PA. Looking at radar, you can see it expanding. Looking good. Have you seen any of this localized heavier snow back this way? Been snowing quite nicely about the last half hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Stupid 95 corridor. Band always sets up there. lol. Down to 21 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Have you seen any of this localized heavier snow back this way? Been snowing quite nicely about the last half hour. No, I'm at work and just has been light. Have you've been looking at the mid-range models? About as good as I've seen them all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 CTP radar stinks I swear. Shows me in like 5DBZ and I am getting heavier snow again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Too much dry air. Since your in the east maybe you can squeeze out another few inches. If your N and W o I-81 looks like the snow event is mostly over. Yeah, I remember, I think it was the Boxing Day storm when all those heavy echos were moving north and the dry air just ate them up at the Blue Mountain. I wonder if this will be a similar situation. If you look at regional radar, the snow is expanding to your south. Hard to say if it makes it up your way. See my reply above. Sometimes it does,sometimes it doesn't. Even if it does, it'll probably be too little, too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ever-so-slightly OT at the moment but has anyone looked at the 12z GFS? Incredible and persistent cold through the entire 15 days with multiple nights below zero (KCXY) and out in la-la land a radiational low temp of -11F two weeks from tomorrow. One of the most impressive things is that from this point forward temps get no higher than the teens until next Saturday afternoon. I'm not so sure I can ever remember that many consecutive days with highs below 20F. BTW...back on topic...I almost have heavy snow now with big flakes. The band has reached me...lol.

JamieOber Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Snowy? Yes, quite active. I see 3-4 opportunities. Go here: http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/model-guidance-model-parameter.php?group=Model%20Guidance&model=gfs&area=namer&cycle=20140121%2012%20UTC¶m=850_temp_mslp_precip&fourpan=no&imageSize=M and run it.

CarlislePaWx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Some current reports from over at Phillywx have a few spots close to 8" already. There is an incredible persistent huge band running from southwest of philly then northeastward over east-central nj and then covering virtually all of Long Island. Boy, is Philly ever striking gold this season or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Nice band setting up from Shippensburg to Carlisle to the north side of Harrisburg. im on the south east edge of it... massive flakes... closing in on 3" here just north of Enola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Flipped to huge flakes here, look to be under a nice band finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Don't ask why - but I have a good feeling about the threat popping up for next Monday. Maybe I've just officially lost my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just measured 4.1" and snow picked up after a lull. ready for round 2 As soon as I made my last observation the intensity really dropped off here again. Very light snow right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I hate this wind. Gusting to 25mph.

meteo Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I wasn't expecting much from this storm here in Altoona...got around 1.5 inches or so. My thinking is like Jaime's: I think we get our big one in February or early march,while the New York forum weenies, see a wind driven rain storm. Now I probably just jinxed us lol.
