Jonesy56 Posted March 22, 2018 Sweet redemption. Amazing way to go out after the recent run of near misses. Three consecutive seasons now with a 12" + event for Harrisburg. I mostly lurk for hours on end, but not being able to access the board for a good portion of the storm made me realize how much this place has become an integral part of the snowstorm experience for me over the years. Special place indeed. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superstorm Posted March 22, 2018 Hey Mike... I know the 93 blizzard was before spring, but do you know what the snow total for lanaster was in that. Just trying to compare. Thanks!Think it was 18” in 1993. Lots of sleet in that storm held down accumulation.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowfall wise this ranks up there with the best for March. Not near the power, but still a big snow producer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 9 inches from last night looks like it's down to about 3 or 4 inches now after a full day of sun. And it's been kind of muted here at times by some high cirrus.

snowalot Posted March 22, 2018 My big takeaways from this event for late march are we can achieve greater then 10 to 1 ratios, snow can accumulate on pavement in middle of day, and we had a snow line that extended from east to west across the state (unfortunately not the northern regions), and it didn't matter that it was in the 50s in the preceding days. The models did pretty well i think. A great way to end the winter season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atomixwx Posted March 22, 2018 When was the last winter MDT didn't record a snowstorm in the double digits? It seems that we've been on a string of years where ****ty winters were bailed out by a blockbuster in January or a Hail Mary in March. Perhaps this is an unintentional blessing of some kind of change in the climate. Was 2011 the last winter MDT didn't hit double digits in one event?

MAG5035 Posted March 23, 2018 Did a depth check around the yard...it generally averages about 4-7" or so. Def shrunk a good bit but still have pretty much complete coverage. The max depth was 12.5" right after the storm ended. I went up to Blue Knob for a few hours in the afternoon yesterday since they reopened for the week at noon yesterday and the conditions were fantastic. They only had about 5 of their main trails open prior to the storm since getting pretty much their whole base wiped out in February. They received enough snow up there that just about all of their trails and glades were doable. I would guess they got 20"+ up there and it was really piled up on the more sheltered parts of the mountain. Probably some of the best conditions I've ever gotten a chance to board in up there (no ice).

Blizzard of 93 Posted March 24, 2018 I see that some of you guys have already said your goodbyes for the snow season. We might not be done yet! The GEFS & EPS have been advertising a well below normal first 2 weeks of April. If that is the case, then we could still score a little more snow before we close the shades for the season. Here is the latest EPS, which brings the 2 inch snow line into the LSV, with more to the northwest in CTP, which is impressive for this point in the year!

MAG5035 Posted March 24, 2018 It's too bad that system coming through the Midwest/OH Valley today is getting squashed into VA. That would have made one heck of a 1-2 punch of snow for late March. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last weekend, into earlier in the week, it looked like this one was going to be good for us, but then it shifted south & never came back. We still need to look out for 1 more chance during the 1st 10 days of April! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blizzard of 93 Posted March 25, 2018 The 6z GEFS says that we are not done yet with snow. It is not skewed by 1 or 2 big hits either. There are 12 of the 20 ensemble members that bring at least a couple of inches of snow to the LSV, with more to the north & west in CTP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
