MAG5035 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Coating on grassy surfaces here. Sleet mixing back in with the snow a bit. Light-moderate rate. 19z HRRR is def a C-PA crusher, but you can see elevational dependancies. I also don't expect 10:1 to be achieved for most folks under 1800-2k feet with the marginal surface temps and the warm/wet ground. I'd prob cut about 20-30% off of those totals.

djr5001 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 A good bit of sleet mixing in with the rain west shore of Harrisburg. Deck icy but outdoor sensor reading 35F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmister Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Quite a break in coverage moving SE to NW. I did not see that occurring in the short-term models including the latest HRRR. I'm guessing it will be spotty for a little while. It's very slick out. Cars are starting to slip some on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea i've been watching that as well. The precip probably will start pivoting at some point to become more n-s oriented.. and perhaps reorganize a bit. I would imagine there will continue to be at least light stuff generated as that major easterly fetch upslopes into interior PA. We need to at least maintain moderate rates to keep things accumulating in the valleys though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think models whiffed on gigantic precip hole rotating in, it started steady precip here after 4 and looking like that's gonna cut many short.

Winter Wizard Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Moderate snow/sleet mix in downtown State College. Roads have a slushy coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiier04 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Definitely not the look I expected from the radar at this hour, but have to imagine that fetch off the ocean won't leave any of us north of the border counties staying dry. Will be interesting to watch the pivot over the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Have an inch of extremely slushy snow from this so far. Precip light attm so it's barely snow....I'd call it more of a fine light rain/snow mix. Guess we'll see how radar trends go this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Sleet in Marysville. Car tops have a good coating. Time to watch this storm pivot & fill in the radar tonight. There is still plenty of time to go in this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarks green snow Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Crazy. Left Rochester at 4:15 and it was cloudy and 44 degrees. Did not hit precipitation until Elmira where it was 36 and sleet. Binghamton 33 with rain and sleet mix at 6:45 and finally heavy sleet here in Clarks Summit. The plows are out and plowing pingers! 32 degrees right now with moderate precip downstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The radar is starting to fill in from Central PA down into northern VA. There is still precip back info OH & WV. The main area of low pressure is still off the coast of NC. The short range models still like the idea of most of us getting a good dose of the wrap around.

Looking at the radar and seeing blue showing up into Lehigh valley and rather close to the LSV. Hoping it doesn't underperform with the wraparound as the models have been rather steady with this one, and it would be nice to go into a favorable period with confidence and not skepticism.

Nut I agree 100 % Hopefully we rock until the end of March with snow on snow ! I have not seen the Euro weeklies yet, but the best posters in the Mid Atlantic forum really like the look of the them tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Woke up to a fairly steady light snow and up to about 1.6" for the event now. Temps have fallen just a bit to slightly below freezing (31-32ish) so the overnight snow has stuck to every individual branch on the trees. Precip shield trying to rebuild a bit from the west, so will see if steady snow hangs on down here for some more additional accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
