Bubbler86 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Icon drops a snow bomb on far Eastern PA and NJ as the low is departing. Probably 4-6" back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny because I agree with this, then if we get 1/4-1/2 of freezing rain I will regret it on Wed when I still don't have power. Using a Mr. Heater Buddy hooked up to 20lb propane tank heating my house and having my wife, little girl, dog, and cats all in the living room with the heater because every other room will be 40 degrees haha.

Jns2183 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 That's a good safe call right now. Cold air in Cumberland County always seems to hang on a long time at the surface. If People see 2”-4” of snow and dismiss this storm as a triviality, then they won’t be too happy on Sunday night with 20-30 mph winds coming through as the temperature plummets toward 0. Verbatim, the forecast above is probably a higher impact event here. . Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think sleet/zr would suppress the blowing snow (where it really puts it down thick). I do feel from the MD north, this could be a messy messy kinda deal if 2m temps hold below freezing like they often do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify my statement was far eastern PA as in Philly and north but Icon does have some back end for Lancaster. The snow fall and precip maps are not out yet so I was guesstimating on the intensity of the radar maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite handy though if I close the flume the whole way one does get a bit of smell from the burning propane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 FWIW, ICON LP get to southern WVA, then east and out to the mouth of the chesapeake before heading NE. 989 at the Bay. Little better thermal profile, and that is just money right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
