NortheastPAWx Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 psu, I had just under 6... You live in an area of the city with some extra elevation though, am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 NAM moves a little further west...we're close to something special. As is though, everyone at least sees another moderate event with more in the LSV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Ok....just got up (went to bed around 2:45). I haven't measured yet, but when I went to bed I had a total of only 2.4". Eyeballing, I'd say another inch tops, or around 3.5". I think compaction played a bigger role in keeping my total down. For me this storm underperformed. NWS had me in 6-8", it seemed pretty likely I'd get around 6. Once again, points north, west, and east did better. Not sure about south, although I thought I read a report in York county of 5". Oh well...on to the clipper. Boy was I wrong with my estimate. It was only 2.5" total on the board, which was just 0.1" more than the 2.4" I had at 2:45am. WOW. Total liquid since midnight was 0.26". Total liquid for the storm was 0.41" for 2.5" of snow which gives a ratio of 6:1. So I guess there was major compaction even though my temp was 32.0 from 3:00 until 8:00am. Interesting stats for sure. I think I might get more from the clipper than from this one. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 It's a good shoveling snow. It's wet but easy to scrap up. I ended up being in a good mood and hand-shoveling our 70' alley.* * I'm sure to regret this tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 75-100 miles further west and we're in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Even after much compaction, I measured in 3 different spots and averaged just over 4". Very surprised and happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Trees are beautiful with the snow clinging to them. Very nice storm Those are the best snow events IMO. Last Feb 2nd we had one of those around NYC, 7-8" or so of very wet snow that clung to all the trees and was an awesome sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just came in from shoveling and feel like I'm going to fall over. Oh yeah...I guess I shouldn't have waited until after the plow threw those 2 foot tall giant ice balls in the driveway. Edit: Just saw a report of 6.4" from E-town, which is 4 miles north of me. Now I'm wondering how much I really had before I went out this morning.

The fairly wet/compacted 5 or 6" on the ground isn't going anywhere soon, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 GFS moves west but still a ways away. Hopefully the ECM continues the west trend at 12z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I think I'm just gonna be stoked about the 1 to 3 clipper is locking in on, redevelopers typically only pan out in E New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I think hoping for the storm's main, well-developed precip shield to make it all the way back west to central PA is a bit of a fool's errand, unfortunately. But the precip amounts as the clipper swings through and to our south have increased again in the models, and I'll be more than happy if we get another 1-3 inches.

NortheastPAWx Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 I guess being a little further east I have a little more hope...we'll see how we look at the end of the night. Plus, this one looked like a 1-3" deal for days. But the ECM coming up is a biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's looking like a lot of modeling has us just either side of 0.5" liquid for the clipper. Could be a nice fluffy 3-6" on top of our already solid snow cover. The always fun snow on snow on snow! Also looks like more chances 1/29-30 and 2/1-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I just hope it stats juiced enough to get us a uniform 2 or 3 inch storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennMan Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I had heard something about this earlier...what's that looking like? A low coming out of the Plains and a clipper get together over Iowa/Illinois and that tracks along I-70, nice precip shield to the north. Obviously way too far out for details, but looks good for at least another typical clipper event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomixwx Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Looks like Long Island and NE are going to get slammed on Monday. It's not often I think about liking to live out on eastern LI, but this would be one of those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
