Scummyratguy Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Total rackage here. 3 inches and piling up fast. Flake size has grown increasingly smaller. I also noticed flake size got smaller here, but the rates are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Enjoy it southerners. Not much accumulation to speak of up here with light snow trying to fall. But of course WB Area schools are closed roads are interesting here. lots of icing on the side streets if the snow were heavier we would be seeing ice ruts. the Schools did make the right call today. (except mine--I am at work)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashtown_Coop Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 2.5" gonna have to measure ever 30 min instead of hourly, compaction is serious Officially every 6 hours is the way to measure unless it stops then starts again or there's a precip change. Even if it snows 4", and it compacts to 1" after six hours, the report should be 1". Just saying, that's how NWS trained me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 MDT ob at 9am had snow with .25 miles visibility. CTP should have stuck with their original forecast after all. Heavy snow in Marysville with over 2 inches on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashtown_Coop Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I thought that was just for clearing the board? That's correct. You can measure as much as you like, as long as that amount isn't greater than the 6 hour board measurement. For one hour rates etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Warning to an advisory back to warning ⛄️ Haha! I guess they can, in fact, re-upgrade to a warning the 2nd time. Amazing...the WSW says the exact same thing it said yesterday morning when the first WSW was issued...4-8". I've got just a tad over 2" here with moderate snow (between 0.5" and 0.75" per hour) and good flake size. Only 2 more inches to go to reach the elusive 4" mark. Temp holding steady at 27.2 and the barometer is RISING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I don't remember a downgrade then upgrade within 12 hours in the same storm. Yeah...like I said last night...I was afraid NWS was going to overreact to the 18Z runs and pull back on the accumulations only to have them increase back up again as the storm progressed. Like you, I don't think I've ever seen this happen before. I'm used to the constant downgrading from WSW to WWA that they've been doing a lot this winter. I can't believe they let that one run so heavily influence their accumulation forecasts. I'm not trying to judge them...just making an observation. Rates are getting even better here now. Radar looks really good for the next few hours. When I look up at the sky I can see the curly purple lines from SPC overhead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
