MAG5035 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 The other watch zones they have is: - Up to 6" and 0.25" ice in the south central (JST/AOO region with Cambria, Blair, Huntingdon, Somerset, Bedford, Fulton and Franklin counties). - Up to 6" and a tenth of ice in Perry, Cumberland, Adams (Gettysburg.Carlisle) - 4-8" and up to a tenth of ice in the whole north central, UNV, IPT to down as low as Mifflin/Juniata Counties) I'm guessing this would be in addition to tonight's snowfall.

I wold have thought that too but the wording on the AFD seems to suggest total of 3-6 for the LSV (the only one I read). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do you return? The long range is starting to look very interesting. I meant to say Nam above but guess you figured that out. :-). I am down here until either Wed night or Thursday AM. Keeping both options open in case it snows so much that flights are still delayed Wed. Very excited about the LR as well. Have not had a chance to look today but I would think we have a shot at snow every 3-4 days for the rest of the month. Some times it will cut but at least there is a chance.

Gosnow Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I think this will be good test of the models seeming to show the CAD staying strongeracoss all levels than what we have seen in the past. How many times have models seem to bring in the warmth faster than what we have experienced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it is kind of confusing, but LSV has an advisory handling tonight's snowfall and you'd need the higher totals from the portion under the winter storm watch to verify WSW criteria. So I think that 3-6" is just from the main portion under the watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is out in the shed already with her conair removing the ice cicles from her beef curtains singing Jackson Browne's song for adom. I told her she was taking me to Olive Garden on Tuesday for Valentine's day. I also said she wasn't getting any. Tell her to leave the beef drapes alone.

Schools might be closed Mon and Tue instead of just 2 hours tomorrow. July 4th will be as American as Apple Pie and Schools finally finishing their 180 days.

Schools are legally obligated to wrap up by June. Up in MAG's area, they started doing 3 hour delays to avoid throwing days away to make Saturday sessions necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My July comment was obviously a joke but it we were to get a true HECS with cold temps afterwards schools would definitely be scrambling to get days in.

Atomixwx Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I think in 2010, some schools were doing Saturday morning sessions to make up for the week they lost after the two February storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomixwx Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Plus, in the school district I went to, they've started writing days off as "teacher in-service." I have no idea how that is legal, but they've been doing it for a few years. I think my 17-year-old niece and 7-year-old nephew have had about 125 days of school accumulative in the past three years between Sub-Zero days, snow days, flood days, and now mold days.

Ruin Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 thanks for the welcome as i said in the other forum to me all my life PA was the Mid Atlantic Not sure when it changed lol. but yeah the radar look way more juiced then it was called for and temps being below forecast could be a good front end thump.
