Blizzard92 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Beginning to mix with rain now as BL temperatures warm a bit. Looks like 3.0" of snow/sleet (slush) will be the total for the books here along Blue Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Looks like the true bastion of the warmth is just a two-day thing before clouds and showers swallow the forecast. Bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Amazing. If this isn't a southern winter I don't know what is. This one managed to get your hometown half decently, and further up into NE PA and up to BGM is getting hammered with warnings hoisted up for 5-10". It's been a pretty interesting storm today, I didn't think there was gonna be much of anything in the Sus Valley from any changeover, but that band of precip has meant business for the folks that managed to be affected by it.

NortheastPAWx Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Rick G Keep in mind that temperatures are expected to hit the 50s tomorrow with sun. There will be plenty of time for that wet snow to melt down in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I had about an inch of frozen slush this morning with temp at 36... almost nothing left in the city with temps already into the 40s the storm drain out front of the house was flooded with a river running down the road trying to find somewhere else to go... after just over a half an inch of precip for the first 28 days of the month I had 3.41" in about 30 hours it's crazy how many days of 2"+ days of rain I have seen since moving here (Harrisburg area) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Lol about 30 miles too far west for the storm...and honestly happy about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 we had about 3 inches here, roads were messy early. I have heard of reports new 10 inches in Red Rock and 7 inches in Wayne county. The bottom line was the forecast was a mess. The whole area went from an inch or two to 2 to 5 or more. the storm was also a storm of miles, two miles away from me they got 6 or more inches of snow. One of the reports from upstate PA had no snow on one side of town and 6 inches on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 From CTP: A challenging storm to forecast over the past 48 hours in terms of localized very heavy rain, and a narrow, stationary snow band at the tail end of the event Sunday afternoon and Evening. This visible satellite image highlights the few areas of central and eastern PA that had several inches or more of heavy wet snowfall. Ricketts Glen State Park Office at the top of Red Rock Mountain (Elevation 2449 FT MSL) in Sullivan County takes the prize with 12 inches of snow late Sunday! A large swath of the Central Ridge and Valley Region had periods of light snow during the day Sunday, but received no snow accumulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy_wx Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Absolutely gorgeous weather out there with 60F and sun. Typical early spring day where the models underestimate the mixing as well as some downsloping NNW winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical early spring day where the models underestimate the mixing as well as some downsloping NNW winds. When I saw it was almost 100% clear at 7AM this morning, I figured the forecast highs in the low/mid-50s were in trouble. Up to 63° in Bellefonte.

NortheastPAWx Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 My thoughts on the Winter passed... December: B. Nice solid snow event around midmonth made this a good month, though it was meh'd a bit by another lack of White Christmas thanks to a torch right before the holiday. But an okay start for sure. January: B+. Good bit of snow to be had, lots and lots of cold air. Stinger was the post-MLK storm swinging off to our south and east. February: A. One of the best stretches of winter I can ever remember between 2/4 and 2/20 with near 30" of snow, at one point a snow depth nearing 20", and again plenty of cold air around. Fantastic month overall, and looked to be setting up for a spectacular end. Unfortunately... March: F. Two storms look like a 12"+ event for all of PA before suddenly trending south and becoming DC events. Lots of cold air to keep Spring away but no snow to show for it...in March, if it's not going to snow, forget the cold. Horrific month and a thud end to a solid winter - it's like leading 35-3 heading into the 4th quarter of a football game but only winning 35-31. Overall grade: B.

Lol that euro run wants another DC/VA snowstorm by the looks of it. Most guidance has some form of a storm mid-late next week with the big amplification in the pattern thats being progged. Hopefully whatever happens recovers quickly for that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
