Superstorm93 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I won't be able to make it down until later, but it does sound like a tornado from what Eric Horst has seen.

Greensnow Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Just over 2" up here and had multiple rounds of storms came through overnight. Crazy. Still light to moderate rain showers or should I say snow showers . Turned over around 9:30AM. Currently dropping below 36F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Man what a month. When was the last time we saw an 8" snowstorm then a tornado a couple weeks later in Lancaster County? Pretty historic weather month. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 And I have a feeling in a couple weeks we could be looking at one last major winter storm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 NWS confirmed EF1 (at least) in SE Lancaster County. Estimated it on ground for about 5 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 2.48" storm total. We had another 2/10 inch after I went to work, so my storm total is actually 2.68" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatamy Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I was actually out in the community of White Horse, PA last November. We went out there to purchase a shed at Sheds Unlimited. The company is well known for the quality sheds that they build. Their location had to have been within a mile of the tornado track. White Horse is an Amish community and is very picturesque and is comprised of old farm homes. NWS has now confirmed that it was an EF 2 tornado that hit that community last night.

NortheastPAWx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 An EF1 also touched down up in Bradford county. Meanwhile, it's snowing here because why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 In 48 hours we went from snow to severe storms and tornadoes and now back to snow. Can it get any crazier than THIS winter??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatamy Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 In 48 hours we went from snow to severe storms and tornadoes and now back to snow. Can it get any crazier than THIS winter??? NWS State College described a damage path of up to 400 yds wide. That translates to a width of between 1/4 and 1/3 of a mile wide. Can you imagine something that big in this state in February? It's a miracle no one was killed or injured. That is an Amish community so I hope at least some of the folks there had cell phones or weather radios so they could receive the Tornado Warning. I am thinking that they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasnownut Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 In my travels from Bucknell to Sunbury then down to visit a sick relative in Pottsville...it snowed the entire afternoon and until I left Pottsville at 7:00. Basicially stopped once over the mountain to Meyerstown. Nice little backside action (although bittersweet). Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I despise the new NOAA/weather.gov website. Where do you guys go for your forecasts? I like Wunderground but it's impossible on mobile sites to have it pull real data instead of personal weather stations that IMO are very often screwy.

Rick G Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I just got back from our athletic fields, we just streamed a women's lacrosse game. themp is about 35 and the winds were gusting to about 30. My camera people froze their buttskis off. Anyway I see that NWS Binghamton is hyping a storm Tuesday into Wednesday on Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Things are looking better for snow chances for later this week in Central PA. The 12 z Euro Operational for the first system mid week brought a couple of inches to the I -80 corridor & north. Then, the second system tracks further south & brings a good swath of snow to just about all of us. The Harrisburg area gets 5 inches, & those further north get a few more inches.

Blizzard of 93 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The 12z EPS ensemble also looked good for snow for all of us. By the end of Friday, mean snow amounts range from 4 to 5 inches across most of CTP. The second system has a mean track to our south, & over 30 of the 51 members bring us at least a few inches.

canderson Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Dang that was some wind. It seems we've basically moved on from winter and into the early spring portion. No snow chances I can see in the long range models that look favorable and temps will be very moderate the next week or so (Thursday will be cool but bounce back for the weekend). Was hoping the 2nd week of March would produce but the Nino looks like it's maintaining its strength and the AO isn't going to get negative.

Nino is weakening although slowly and AO forecasts are not reliable after a week or so. The big negaitve is that by your way aver age temps I believe are in the mid forties in early March.
