There's not really a radar that will eliminate virga. Radar apps like RadarScope that incorporate ground observation data from apps like mPing can really help with ground truth, although that depends on people to report on it, which can sometimes be sparse out of the metro areas. You can see all the DC snow weenies clustered together. Snow has just arrived here, so I have my mPing report in here in Altoona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Pretty heavy snow now with a coating already. Bit of a breeze too. Temp down to 26ºF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 26/16 here this AM with mod snow and a coating...snow is fighting through the dry air. S Central PA still looks in the bullseye even if not as much as it could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxx Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Nice band on radar right over me! Only problem is not a flake from it. I was hoping by 7 it would be reaching the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping by 7 it would be reaching the ground. Some of the M/D posters on the other side of the border have been reporting flurries for about 30 minutes now. Looks like we'll be waiting until 8am or so. Edit: My dew has dropped to 14 from 16 earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteout Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Instant 1” per hour snow as soon as it started in northwestern Cumberland county just crazy heavy right off the bat and low visibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerplunk Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Think this is a promising start for UNV (at 26/16) because I saw flakes as soon as radar indicated precipitation. Nice looking band moving in from SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Just ran through the SR Meso's and pretty uniform calls for snow until 2-3 in the LSV, a little later up north. Has a fairly large blob of S Central PA concentrated for 6-10" with 3-6" in the corners of south PA and 3-5" north of I80. People are probably tired of maps but can post any if interested.

Bubbler86 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 HRRR which is a little below the threshold I mentioned but these others are over it. All of these are snow only forecasts as I took snips right when the transition was happening. Just realized the scale is not on these so here you go. The numbers on the maps are not always the totals for that area as the number may be misplaced and meant to be for the right or left. For example, all of these maps (hard to tell with the RAP though) are 5-6 for MDT or higher. HRDRPS Nam 3K Rap (Pink is 6-8" and white is 5-6") 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
