sauss06 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 today, 3 people ask me about a huge storm on February 27-28. Is S&S or EPAW talking up a big storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ice advisory issued for the eastern two thirds if the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Lol kinda downplayed in the wording of it. It's gonna be a mess, and models keep upping qpf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 15" of snow on the ground as of this morning in State College as per NWS? If so, that's awesome. That likely beats any snow depth I saw when I was there. The most I saw on the ground at once was maybe 12-13" back in Feb 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That likely beats any snow depth I saw when I was there. The most I saw on the ground at once was maybe 12-13" back in Feb 2007. It's likely 19-20", we got about 4-5" more today. We're over 50" for the season too. I think 60" is quite doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Here's another set of insane State College statistics. Feb 1 is the only day we didn't record at least a trace of snow. Yes, 17 of 18 days with at least a trace, 17 consecutive days. Of those days, 10 had at least 1.3... Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Pretty much what Wmsptwx said 1.4" of snow. No snow cleanup today. Jamie kind of reminds me of the season 2002-2003 lots of little snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've lost nearly 2" of snowpack today - it'll be long gone by Monday evening except for shoveled piles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie kind of reminds me of the season 2002-2003 lots of little snows. There are similarities, especially this month. Just like 2002-2003, February is a lot different than January. Three advisory criteria snows including today, two warning criteria. Many of those days with snow were storms that had snow fall on two days.

When I lived in Cleveland we had 17 consecutive days with at least a trace of snow in January of 1999. I don't think we got more than about 12 inches worth in that time frame. It was somewhere between a dusting and two inches every day for 17 straight days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've lost nearly 2" of snowpack today - it'll be long gone by Monday evening except for shoveled piles. Wish I could say that about here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 NAM quietly ups IPT to between .25 and .3 inches of ice tmrw. It's going to be interesting, glad I'm not home. My dad said lots of the main roads have salt/cinders knocked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 It's likely 19-20", we got about 4-5" more today. We're over 50" for the season too. I think 60" is quite doable. Going to be interesting to see if you can pass NYC/PHL this year. Both are in the high 50's so far this winter. March historically has been a snowy month in State College so it's quite possible.

MAG5035 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I had about an 18" snow depth out in the yard when i measured early this afternoon, it may have shrunk a bit with the warmish afternoon but it's likely still in that ballpark. A couple days in the 40s and some rain isn't going to cut it with any major meltdown around these parts. It'll probably shrink in half but it's still got that freezing rain encased sleet layer about 3/4's of the way down in the snow. Maybe we'll see some gravel on our driveway by the time this warm up is over with, but probably not haha. Some other personal stats. In the last 5-6 days I've had snowfalls of 6.5" (Feb 13th), 4.0" (Feb 14/15), 1.0"(Feb 16), and today's 5.8". 49.2" was the season tally after the Feb 13th storm so the new season total as of today is right at 60" even.

jm1220 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Wow. Long Island where I am is generally 10 to 18 inches on the ground but we will certainly lose a lot this week. A fair amount is sleet and frozen up rain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right on Mag...I measured almost 18" here...also hit the layer of ice putting the yard stick in the ground. Dont see this melting away to quickly....would be nice to regain next week what we will lose in this slight warm up in the next few days. Still looking for that one big monster storm before everything is said and done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Beautiful in Daytona tonight light breeze on the beach. Back home 21.1 already and dropping like a rock. SREFs continue to amp up precip, somebody could get a bit icy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anduril Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Came out from work and my car had a nice glace of ice. Fog was coming up from two of the streams I drove by near Lower Allen Township building as well on my way home. Freezing fog tonight possible?

Wmsptwx Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Lol, people watching died down so back to watching my home therm. 18.2 and still ticking downward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 In spite of today's "warmth", we still have well over a foot of snow on the ground here at MU and after refreezing enough times, it's a glacier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Down to 19° in Bellefonte. I don't think we will drop to much further, but doesn't bode well for the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 0z NAM very warm aloft... plain rain for most of us as in little if any icing if verifies... is it too strong with the warm air advection overnight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 17.9...wasn't this always supposed to be rain that freezes on contact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 17.9...wasn't this always supposed to be rain that freezes on contact? with temps aloft getting up to about 5+C we would need that current cold air locked in to get any good freeze... if temps warm overnight like models are indicating it will be tough to get much freezing just after sunrise with surface temps in upper 20s/low 30s with droplets passing through that thick of a warm layer aloft I am at 30 and MDT is at 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
