Mallow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Even without the death band, we're getting a better rate here. Yeah, it definitely looks nice out there. I'd just like to see 1"/hr rates at least once this winter. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah, it definitely looks nice out there. I'd just like to see 1"/hr rates at least once this winter. Haha. We'll save that for Jamie's March 94 repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 10:00AM Observation, Tamaqua, PA Heavy snow falling at close to 2 inch per hour rates. Temp is up to 33 degrees which is a bit unnerving. I didn't expect it to get QUITE that warm here. Right now the flakes are easily the size of dimes so I hope sleet isn't in our future. Anyway, I had to take my brother in law to work since I have a lifted Jeep, so I took the camera with me. Here is a teaser shot from when it was snowing the heaviest. Pic was taken on Broad Street (US209) looking east. Temp: 33 degrees Conditions: Heavy snow Accumulation: 4.75" inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm in between the band north of Harrisburg & the band around York here in Camp Hill. Radar doesn't show much buts it's still snowing mod - heavy. What causing the radar to not show this? I looked at both CTP & LWX, both show the same hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Light sleet (some snow). Waiting for pivot to come on through later. About 13" on ground (good phase 1) Lancaster, PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 How long do you guys have to add up snow do you think? Mallow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmethesnow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Here in Hanover temp is now at 30 degrees, 13 1/2 inches on the ground and with 2" rates at this time. Snow has become very icy and think we will probably start seeing sleet shortly. To lazy to check upper air levels to see where the warm layer is and how long I might have to deal with it. And as I finish writing this we now have a sleet and snow mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 interesting how the nature of the storm slowly advancing north this morning is the difference of several inches in just 30 miles... 11" in Gettysburg where it started first 9" in Carlisle where the band moved into a little before harrisburg 8" in harrisburg 7" just north of enola - had 3" when I measured at 7am - 4" at 8 for 1" in hour - 5.75" at 9 when that death band was overhead for 1.75" in hour -7" at 10 for 1.25" in hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 How long do you guys have to add up snow do you think? Mallow? Oh, I think we'll be getting accumulating snows through at least 8PM. So that's good. Boy, if that band DOES make it here, it'll probably stall right over us. Wouldn't THAT be something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar doesn't show much buts it's still snowing mod - heavy. What causing the radar to not show this? I looked at both CTP & LWX, both show the same hole I think the radar is having trouble seeing through each of those two heavy bands so it is not getting a full return when beam trying to get back through those bands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itunis Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah, it definitely looks nice out there. I'd just like to see 1"/hr rates at least once this winter. Haha. The storm last Tuesday probably had the heaviest stuff I've seen here this winter for a short while. 3/4mi vis or so here and about 2" on the ground, gonna be a nice day of snow watching even if we just miss out on the real heavy stuff.

Mallow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The good news is that the band approaching State College doesn't seem to be weakening any (yet)... so wherever it ends up stalling, someone might get a very nice surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmethesnow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Light sleet (some snow). Waiting for pivot to come on through later. About 13" on ground (good phase 1) Lancaster, PA If you can keep the mix down to a minimum I think you might end up being in a great spot with some great rates just north and west of where I think the dry slot will probably set up. Of course if you do get the heavier rates you have a good possibility that they will overcome the warm nose above you anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 And there goes my DirecTV. It's on a roof, no way I can clear it. Boo. Still snowing but light currently. Edit: never mind, back to sn+ it appears. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 By the way, per the radar, Cumberland, MD is going to be a major jackpot. The heavy band stalled right on top of them, and they've been dumping with awesome rates (probably 1-2" per hour) for at least 1.5-2 hours with no end in sight.

Scummyratguy Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 We were all sleet for 15ish minutes and now snowflakes coming back in. Cmon snow. About 80/20 sleet/snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Festus Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Manheim - 30.6F with some freezing rain mixing in with the sleet now. Dry slot creeping closer. Does it make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Up to 1.9" on top of my car here in State College. Still SN- with estimated visibilities around 3/4 mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow_ Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I can hear sleet now hitting the trees and the big flakes are disappearing. This heavy band is probably sleet for the lower elevations ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think we will make the 25dbz stuff on radar. The 30dbz might fall just a bit short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think we will make the 25dbz stuff on radar. The 30dbz might fall just a bit short. I'm actually starting to think we might get solidly into the band. I might have to completely reverse what I said earlier. Even the part of the band between Breezewood and Bedford is showing plenty of motion, still (it briefly seemed to stall earlier). The only stall I'm seeing is still over Cumberland, MD. Maybe I should be more worried about the band PASSING us over. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro has been a beast on forecasting this storm so far. Lets hope that it performs just as well with the deform and the back end snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 That dry slot has really slowed its progress westward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Crazy band pushing northwest from Allentown and Reading. If it holds together and stays snow, it looks like it's going to be a doozy. Currently still have the dime sized flakes, but my backyard temp is up to 34 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
