Superstorm Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yep, that little vort robbed us in Lancaster County from seeing a nice big burst of snow. At least I got thunder flurries. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 That is unbelievable. There is ALWAYS something that screws it up here for me. Looks like DC and Baltimore are about to get ROCKED. I feel you...it's insane how any remotely impressive event gets messed up in every possible way so it's no more than dime a dozen quality. I've had enough of mundane storms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Should be interesting if that vorticity catches up with activity of New England. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Marusak Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 That is unbelievable. There is ALWAYS something that screws it up here for me. Looks like DC and Baltimore are about to get ROCKED. i can tell you exactly what happened. the normal "jump" that a surface low takes across the mountains, then comes out to the south of where the original track was by ~ 1-2 degrees latitude. that's vorticity dynamics 101 (well, in PSU's case, meteo 421, but i digress). and that's coming out at about the right spot for a northern PA/Southern NY low, near DC and SBY. now as that low starts to bomb out off the NJ coast, time to see how much arctic air piles in behind the low. and judging by the 00z sfc map temperatures, there's plenty to tap from in northern Ontario and northwestern Quebec.

MAG5035 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Temps have fallen like a rock here, already down to near 10ºF. Some of the lingering bands of snow gave some additional snow that brought my 4.4" total measured right after the squall up to about 5". That final measurement was before the wind really kicked up, you can forget about measuring anything now haha. Wind's howling now, and all that powder is already drifting pretty significantly.

sauss06 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just sat down to filet and crab legs when it started. Very impressive, thunder, lightning was very cool. I haven't measured, but by looking at the guy plowing the firehouse 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jim for that explination. I learned something I didn't know before! Anyway, I must admit that I need to eat some crow here. I will post a photo in a few minutes when I get them uploaded, but that squall hit and hit hard. Much better than I expected looking at radar when I was doing my complaining. Visibility was down to probably less than 1/8 mile, and we picked an inch and a half in about 20-25 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 here two picts of when it hit here. the schoolis across the street and the furthest lights are about 1/8/ to 1/4 a mile away. they all but disappeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 That 25 or so minutes of snow earlier gave me right at 2" it seems. Damn impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Voyager glad you got some snow. I measured 2.5" of snow. That heavy line was a nice surprise! I'm also glad that some of you got to experience thundersnow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Had about a 10-second whiteout just now as a wind gust threw around the accumulated stuff. Heavy snow again and the wind picked up like you said. Measuring from here on out is going to be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirates21 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 measured 4" exactly before the wind started kickin. Down to 14 here in Altoona. Roads look like an ice rink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just went out to measure before the wind messes things up. Up to 2.5" now. Doubt I'll get an accurate one anymore though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Pretty nice squall today. The wind really whipping that stuff around. I've seen heavier rates though, so that was a little depressing but I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lte5000 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Got probably around an inch of snow earlier. Edit to add: The total may be more than that since I wasn't keeping tabs on it for the last couple hours. Looks brutal outside, with a temp of 14.8 and the wind really picking up. Listening to the township plow trucks on the scanner, heard the one guy say he can't even find the road, due to the blowing snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
