Wmsptwx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Getting solid inch per hour rates here. I just measured and am up to 5 inches now. Williamsport, I truly feel sorry for you up there. I know the feeling well, having dealt with it the past few years as well. And I do owe all of you an apology for the other day when I saw the post about the blizzard warnings and complained. It was out of total frustration, but I shouldn't have done it and I'm sorry to neff and anyone else I offended. Just frozen water, I'll live thanks though, hope you get to enjoy this one from home sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 just saw the zones, Philly is going with the lower amounts overall in Carbon County (12-16 from what I am seeing), i think. Wonder why State College went 20-30 while right next door in what should be a similar area forecast-wise that much higher. Thanks Jim for the reply. Whether we get 18-24 or 24-30 is irrelevant, I was just wondering what CTP was seeing to include Schuylkill in the the Harrisburg metro counties, accumulation-wise, instead of issuing a warning more specific to the local area if there was indeed a difference in expected totals. Oh, and thanks Williamsport! I'm just glad this came on a weekend, and not during the workweek, although I'd probably call my driver manager and tell her I wasn't going anywhere.

PennMan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just pouring snow here in Lebanon County with an even heavier band poised to move in. Wind isn't too bad yet. Looks like dry slot is going to make a run towards at least Chester County, hopefully no further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstorm93 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 This is some of the most intense snowfall I have ever seen. Mind you I've been in the Boxing Day Blizzard and Feb 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just measured 8.1" about 10min ago with continued moderate snow. It's been steady as she goes here tonight, with rates generally between 0.5-1" an hour. It seems the other end of the county has seen much more intense rates at times. But was outside shoveling an hour ago and took a Jebwalk down to the road and got some pics. Also would like to note that this has been a surprisingly cold snowstorm. Temps have been in the teens throughout and it's about 18F right now. Main road (with 6"+ on it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This storm is one we're going to be telling our grand kids about several storms in my time from college to now. Hurricane Andrew, Blizzard of 93, the 30" dump in state college, the 1996 meltdown, Katrina, Juan, Sandy, the 2007 valentine's day cluster, the tornadoes at the end of 2007, and the flash flooding in 2014 in PA as well as in Toronto. definitely going to be a lot of stories.

Voyager Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Do you think that dry sly holds off? I'll defer to the pro mets, but according to two of the short range models (HRRR and RAP) that I looked at, it doesn't appear to be an issue.

Agreed. Things should pivot and the deform should take over. Man, there's a lot of moisture pointed this way from DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
