NeffsvilleWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 We've got some decent sized flakes just north of Lancaster. They appear to be approximately the size of a quarter. Quite a change from the barely visible dust that was falling at the onset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Cape Hatteras has gusts out of the SE at nearly 40 mph. Low is in great position. Snow becoming moderate in Camp Hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Looks like about 3" here in Summerdale, now I have to figure out how bad it will be later if I wanna go to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Heavy snow, windy with gust to 25mph. 5" so far. Though maybe more but, wind blowing it everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Thank you for this post! All those descriptives do get annoying after awhile. The first one that got me years ago was when folks said it was "pouring snow". Just say you have heavy snow, or sn+. That being said, while we are still fairly light here, I like the snow growth. We have decent sized flakes falling, and not a super fine, or even pixie dust, type of snow. My temp is creeping up steadily though. Currently sitting at 26 degrees. It was 22 when I got up at 3:30AM. I'm cautiously optimistic at the moment, though, due to how the past few coastals have worked out for my immediate area. Time will tell, but I'm hoping for good things from this one, and I hope the good folks to my northwest also do well! We've got some decent sized flakes just north of Lancaster. They appear to be approximately the size of a quarter. Quite a change from the barely visible dust that was falling at the onset. Pretty much the same to report here in Lebanon County. Nice fluffy flakes coming down moderately. Better than the radar would suggest, typical for us being so far from the radar sites. I think we are in a good spot. Far enough NW to avoid the worst of the dry slot and mixing, but far enough SE to cash in on some heavy precip. I liked the look of the Euro...would be 14-17".

showmethesnow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Now sitting @ 23 degrees in Hanover with a snow depth of 8.25 inches. Have averaged over the last 2 hours roughly 2" per hour. Except for a burst of 3 to 4 inch rates for 30 to 40 minutes we have been holding pretty steady with a 1 1/2 inch rate. Edit: Also would like to mention winds have picked up as well.

pawatch Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Must have about an 1" of snow on the ground this morning. Radar is looking good!! Game plan: drink coffee watch it snow this morning. Edit: just north of Williamsport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Folks, I'll help out PennMan and Jamie here. Please, since locations are turned off, it would be helpful to put your town in your obs post so we know what location you are actually in. Here in Tamaqua, snow has picked up in intensity over the past half hour to almost moderate. Currently up to 1.3" accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Parents reporting 1.3" in S.Williamsport. Warm and nice in Daytona..out for a walk. Interesting that Williamsport (if the measurement is correct) has the same amount as I do at the same time in the storm. This is where I really believe there is some sort of terrain issue, or other factor, with where I live that keeps precipitation amounts lower than surrounding areas.

showmethesnow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Looks as if we are beginning to see signs of a pivot by the storm. Should probably get a better idea where the deform is going to set up in the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Holy crap. It's ripping here right now @ Millersville and the worst is YET to come. 700mb vvels are looking insane with the area of heaviest precip in MD. This should continue to advect north and provide some insane snow rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Clouds Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Already seeing the back edge crossing the VA/NC border. What the current forecast evolution of this? I believe the whole precip shield should start pivoting as the coastal gets stronger instead of moving south to north. Right guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Dont know how you guys are getting accurate measurements. Lots of drifting. I estimate around 7" or more. Lancaster PA - 3 miles N of Millersville (Centerville Rd) +SN 24F Very low visibility and the winds are howling. Seeing some more rime flakes.

Jns2183 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Already seeing the back edge crossing the VA/NC border. What the current forecast evolution of this? The precipitation field is already becoming aligned in a SW-NE axis. It will continue to pivot around. CTP mentioned in their latest AFD that south east of a line from roughly Hagerstown - York - Ft Indiantown Gap may dry slot or lull late morning till mid afternoon as the Deformation band becomes set out west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr5001 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 fwiw KLWX radar is operating under VCP 21 while state college radar VCP 12.... I dont fully understand what that means but I wonder if that is why LWX makes it look like higher DBZ coming down than up here but reports of similar rates measured 3" at 7am and currently melting for liquid equiv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
