JamieOber Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Saw that. Glad you're getting into this awesome band! Now I need it to stall right where it is. By the way, we're warming up quite a bit here. Up to 26°F at the Walker Building (and 28°F apparently at KUNV). As crazy as this sounds, do we need to worry about mixing?

canderson Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I swear a 5 year old just rang my doorbell and said "I'll shovel your sidewalk for $5". I looked at him, his shovel as tall as him, then my sidewalk which I shoveled already, asked him to look at it, and he walked away without a word. WTF.

Mallow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 As crazy as this sounds, do we need to worry about mixing? I was wondering that, as well. The HRRR was consistently getting us above freezing here (haven't checked recent runs). That would be unexpected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmsptwx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 "Looks" like Deform band is going to push back east in the next couple of hours. Hope it holds together okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 That looks like a nice increase in the snowfall rates over pretty much all of Clearfield County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 If I was home I'd be watching VA feature and deform. Seems like 2 to 3 is possible additional for everybody. I'd let MAG answer that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 An occasional flurry at the moment here in Carlisle. Temp up to 33.3. Just had peak wind gust of the day so far at 25.7mph. Avg sustained speed now around 12mph out of the North. Pressure down to 29.47" or 997.7mb and falling faster now at 0.070" / hr (2.3mb/hr). I see the pivot continues now with the angle of the band having backed to around 30 degrees from 70 degrees earlier. We all wait to see if the band holds together as it gradually collapses south and east. Oh, the suspense. BTW, my snowpack has compacted an inch down to 9" from 10" from temp above freezing. Just cleared my snowboard and am waiting for the ccb arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Convection is developing near the 500mb low in VA... This should eventually expand and race north. Looks like a general 2-4" with some locally higher amounts possible if we do actually see some convective nature to the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 4.2" here (Bellwood, PA) Haven't really had any periods of overly intense snow, but its been enough to steadily pile up. Pretty efficient accumulating. Currently under a heavier snow burst with very nice flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy_wx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 If you look at the current 850 mb field on the mesoanlysis page, you can see a pretty neat enhanced temperature gradient stretching from south central PA to coastal NH. It's almost like a mini warm front with an enhanced area of convergence, resulting in the frontogenetic forcing and banded precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
