Blizzard of 93 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I know the storm over the southeast is not for us, but that radar sure looks nice. It would have been nice if this could have fully turned the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 12z Euro op and control run both crushed the LSV with over 1 foot of snow. The good news is that the Ensemble mean also had a strong snow signal. The mean produced around 6 inches for the LSV. Almost all of the 51 ensemble members produced at least 3 inches of snow. A few members looked like the op and control run. Lots of time to go, but the good news is the bullseye for now was south if us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizz Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Don't worry...it's got a 2010 style cutoff north of the turnpike. You're good! No it didnt. Sure the big totals were south but there was no 2010 cutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Harrisburg has had thundersnow three instances since I moved here in 2006. Feb 2010 (multiple times), the Halloween snow Cantore caught on camera and as sauss said 2-14-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The only thundersnow experience I can recall was the 6-7 March 2011 event which was rain-sleet-snow. After it flipped to snow, it came down hard and then *BOOM!* - two loud cracks of thunder. We had heavy snow for a good three hours and about 4-5".

Itstrainingtime Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Had multiple episodes of thundersnow during the blizzard of '83. That storm produced 5" of snowfall in 1 hour between 4pm and 5pm. I was a senior in high school, the storm came on a Friday. Measured almost exactly 24" which was the biggest snowstorm I experienced until 1996.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I must say my favorite storm over the last 10 years was probably the March 2011 deal, heavy driving rain into crazy heavy snow, not sure how much we ended up with but it was probably the absolute worst I've ever driven in.

north pgh Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I changed my avatar to Thundersnow this year so that it would make it happen. Many areas have seen it this Winter but not me yet. Best thundersnow ever for me was during the Blizzard of 93. I had lot's of thunder and lightning for about a 3 hour period late in the afternoon of that storm.

Many areas have seen it this Winter but not me yet. Best thundersnow ever for me was during the Blizzard of 93. I had lot's of thunder and lightning for about a 3 hour period late in the afternoon of that storm. One of my favorite thundersnow events is the March 3-4, 1999 storm when a low pressure rapidly deepened moving from VA thru eastern PA and up the Hudson Valley in NY. It's a bit of an obscure one, but some of the western upstate NY folks probably remember it quite well as it put down nearly 2 feet in about 6 hours with blizzard conditions up there. Here it started as a pretty decent rainstorm the night of the 3rd and flipped over to snow around 9pm or so dropping a couple an inch or two by the time I went to bed.. nothing too crazy. Then I got woke up around 2-3 in the morning to thundersnow and ridiculous winds. The winds were actually bad enough that it took the power out. The thunder and lightning lasted off and on for at least an hour and it was a near whiteout at times through about 7-8am. It dropped about a 3-6" type snow here but it would've been impossible to measure with the wind. It's probably about the only time I remember seeing legitimate blizzard conditions here. The '93 storm happened on my 7th birthday so I don't remember it as well as I wish I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Ok ...now I want a BLIZZARD real bad. Saw the flash m boom in 93, as well as 2 other times. It's just a cool sight to see. Thanks for the stories. Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Is there nothing to discuss regarding the upcoming period between this Sunday and next Wednesday? I keep checking in hoping I will see discussion and there's virtually nothing. Did last Saturday do everybody in? Yesterday '93Blizzard said the Euro was showing a foot of snow here next Tuesday/Wednesday. Is that totally gone today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 A nice fresh coating here. CTP calling for an advisory level snow for the northern half this weekend, so that's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep checking in hoping I will see discussion and there's virtually nothing. Did last Saturday do everybody in? Yesterday '93Blizzard said the Euro was showing a foot of snow here next Tuesday/Wednesday. Is that totally gone today? Models really changed their tune on that Tuesday/Wed event today, with all of the major 12z suite showing a lakes cutter. They seem to be starting to focus in on a possible snow/mix event Sunday for and then this cutter for Tues/Wed. For Sunday models are really focusing QPF on the western half of the state and a snow bullseye in west-central PA in particular with this weak wave. Precip attm seems to really get eroded in the Sus Valley. Much more consolidated system on the guidance for Tuesday/Wed system with the GFS and Euro bringing about a 990ish low into the lakes and a pretty solid warm air push (8ºC or better of 850 air into a good part of the state). Ensemble means look a little bit cooler and weaker but are still warm and have the low cutting. For now it looks like there could be initial precip issues and then plain rain. We'll see how that evolves, I'm feeling more confident about this one cutting than anything that occurs over the weekend.. as I figured the cold air would put up a fight. A stronger system coming to fruition next week would probably cut with the solidly -PNA and generally +NAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks for the update, Mag. I figured something significant had to have changed because last night the forecast was looking pretty snowy next Tuesday night. That would also explain why no one around here was talking about it.
