djr5001 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 This weekend's event looks DOA to my eyes unfortunately. Cold air doesn't come close to beating the precip, so we rain around 40 then the temp spikes downward once it's finished. Euro says not so fast... it brings temps down due to low deepening earlier (further south) than GFS run... still would need things to come together properly but I wouldn't call DOA just yet.

MAG5035 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Been in a bit of a lull here in between the initial snow and the squalls associated with the front with a few peaks of sun and temps that have risen to around freezing. Measured 2.1" from this morning..gonna clear off and see how much falls this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the 12z suite goes the Euro gets things cold quicker than the GFS. Either way temps are really marginal, this could initially favor elevations and interior PA if anybody. Euro did have several inches of snow in roughly the central third of PA. Both the GFS and Euro have a pretty significantly tilted 500 trough associated with this system, which is a plus for having a rapidly developing coastal and potentially an area of heavy precip rates (which could aid in a dynamic cooling scenario).

skiier04 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Got a nice coating in State College this morning, getting ready for the snow squall. Grass is almost covered down here in Park Forest. Definitely the best event of the year so far Incoming squall still looks really nice on radar too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The clouds have been completely pushed out overhead, it's blue skies completely. That's kinda weird actually. Hopefully that squall line can bring at least a trace here to MDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 MAG are you near any of the lightning that is showing up with that line? I thought I had caught a flash outside out of the corner of my eye a little bit ago, but heard no thunder.. so can't say that I had any thundersnow. It's definitely the kind of squall that will could have it though. Which lightning map were you looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Wizard Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Wow, that snow squall was incredibly. We reached zero visibility, probably had anywhere from 1" to 1.5" in ~20 minutes. Wasn't here for the Valentine's Day squall last year, so this was probably the heaviest snow I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 It's hit Lewistown, looks like it'll keep its act together and hit the HBG metro right about 5-5:30 p.m. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The clouds have been completely pushed out overhead, it's blue skies completely. That's kinda weird actually. That happened here last February. In fact, so far, today is nearly a carbon copy of that one. We had light snow off and on during the early afternoon, then it completely cleared right before sunset. About an hour and a half later, all hell broke loose when the squall hit and we picked up an inch in about 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It destroyed commutes, like people were stranded for hours with cars stuck. It was crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
