dcfox1 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 And you know what, Eric Horst just tweeted about the exact same thing. He said any meteorolgist worth his salt would be giddy looking at that. Shoot, that has me excited! I remember one time years ago when this intense squall line came tearing through the state. I was a kid, but I remember it being warned by the NWS just like a summertime line of severe storms is. That squall line dropped nearly 3" of snow in about an hour down here in Lanco. We've never seen anything close to that from a squall line since. That had to be back in the late 70s I would guess. Dont kow if the same squall but in 83 84 or 85 when leaving a basketball game a line went through and dropped about 3 inches in an hour and it was the first time I saw thundersnow. I went to Eastern York High. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Eastern York High. Hmm...well, the event I'm talking about ocurred right around 4pm and I was still in school (graduated in '83) so I think these are different events. I remember being somewhat afraid of thunderstorms as a kid, and this was the first and only time I can ever recall the sky getting pitch black to the west just like it does before a summer storm. Everything about it was like a thunderstorm...except that this unleashed a whiteout of snow that excited me more than any 6+ event ever did as a kid. I will never forget it.

Mallow Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Maybe wait until Sunday/Monday to declare that threat DOA? Yep. Much rather have it a bit south at this juncture than a bit north, especially without a strong blocking high to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'm ok with that for now, lack of blocking says this thing will come north. Only Thursday anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yep. Much rather have it a bit south at this juncture than a bit north, especially without a strong blocking high to the north. Ridge axis out west (looks to be over Washington?) argues this could come pretty far NW as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmsptwx Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'll gladly take another 6 to 10 for the season. Wishing for a storm that gets us all good with a 4+ before it gets late in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 It's been relatively nice out so far today but it's getting cold out there now with the wind.

I remember a 2 hr delay way back down in Atlanta in the early 2000s, I think we were in the low single digits that morning. Although I imagine the kids up here are a bit more prepared for the cold...

I think many may have even closed last year during the brutal early January arctic outbreak. I expect some 2 hour delays Monday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Sigh, this happened again today... least there were no serious injuries. Was scrolling f-book and first thought I was looking at a pic of a train derailment. CTP even made specific mention in their AFD yesterday that they made efforts to notify the I-80 corridor of the snow squall threat today. ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THRU MOST OF CENTRAL PA BTWN 12Z-18ZTHU BASED ON 12Z GUIDANCE AND BTV SNSQ PARAMETER. SENT I80 EMAILNOTIFICATION FOR LINE OF SQUALLS EXPECTED TO CROSS CENTRAL PA THUMORNING INTO THU AFTERNOON. http://www.wearecentralpa.com/story/d/story/20-mile-stretch-of-i-80-closed/29387/aEXW_Pxr8UuxITjmmimhcg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 From the 12z GFS for UNV: That would be a pretty nice lake-effect sounding with a moist layer height near 650 mb and relatively low shear. Of course we wouldn't realize quite the same parcel instability-driven vertical motion with little low-level heat and moisture fluxes. Still, this would be a favorable environment for the development and maintenance of snow squalls. There also looks to be decent synoptic/mesoscale lift to enhance this feature as it makes its way through PA Saturday. Not a bad look at 500 mb with the enhanced vorticity associated with the surface low and cold front moving through PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 For next week, GFS continues the east trend. I remember back in January 2011, getting the same crap for saying that storm would trend well east to a fringe job/95 hit from 4-5 days out. Remember what the result was?
