Blizz Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Bernie Rayno stated in his last video that he believes the Wed night Thurs storm is gonna trend south because of the low level cold air and the positively tilted trough. He thinks the bullseye zone is M/D line south with Balt DC Kentucky WVA NVA in the 6-12 zone. He thinks Philly could sneak in with 6 but everyone north is 1-3". Hes been pretty much on the money this winter. I hope hes wrong this time. Would only be fitting for winter to end this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take frozen all day but I've not had this bad of a commute in a bit. State College usually does keep roads in good shape, but it's been rough. Getting mainly zr with a few pingers. I still think we struggle to get too far above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Well that deescalated quickly. I'm somewhat confused. Are there different observations in the center of the state than what the radar is showing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Every time I think precip is going to taper a bit, radar to the west rebuilds again. Going to have a decent amount of liquid equivalent here when all is said and done. Adding to the nearly 3" already on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcfox1 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Have tot say its colder then I thought at this time. Still hanging at 27 Thought at least it would be near freezing now. I feel for you north guys with freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think they've been a bit more liberal about canceling classes since I've gotten here. In my 2 1/2 years at U-Park we had I think four sets of cancellations. October 2012 after 2pm for Sandy, January 2013 before 10am for snow, February 2014 we had two sets due to winter weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Got outside and walked around a bit, got an air temp of around 31ºF and a rough estimate of 0.2" of ice accumulated so far. It's raining quite hard and the small drop size is making for more efficient ice building. The nearly 1" of sleet we had earlier mixed with the freezing rain we're having now has made quite the top layer while largely maintaining the depth of the snowpack.. still about 15-16" measuring around the yard. Walked down to our main road and it is horrendous. Township didn't plow the sleet off or treat it so with the freezing rain it might as well be a new layer of blacktop.

My dad said the roads were flooding due to the water having no where to go. Also interesting observation...the wall in our driveway where the water is running due to the spouting being blocked is now iced over like Niagara falls.

PennMan Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Freezing rain coming down pretty heavily still. 29/30 degrees. Just walked outside a bit. Roads are really bad. I'm sure I could get down off my hill in a big hurry but wouldn't make it back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
