Down here it doesn't look thick/solid enough to jam up - it's mainly smaller ice chunks that aren't fully connected to one another. Not sure about anything upstream though. Last year's river ice was epic. Bus-sized icebergs washed up on Front Street! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Quick scan of the climate summary for MDT showed we were only 0.5 F degrees above normal for the month and we were 0.7" above normal snowfall for the month. Interestingly last year we were 1.5 degrees below normal but we were also 3.0" below normal snowfall for the month. Given the warmth that we had the first half of this month we more than made up for it with the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only constant has been moisture, though that looks to be working itself away lately. Curious if we have a mini drought this spring/summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems there are 4...yes 4...waves that come into or near PA in the next 10 days. I hope one of them can be pushed south of PA. Most are going to be rain and cutters.

CarlislePaWx Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 It's been snowing at the best rates of the storm over the past 30 minutes. Just measured 0.9" on the board. That's not saying that much, but it's at least a few tenths per hour now vs. less than a tenth/hr before. Temp holding at 15.4 degrees. Looking at radar it looks like good rates for about another hour. Might make it to 1.5". Bubbler look out...heavy snow headed your way...maybe for Cashtown also if it holds together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Looks like bubbler's about to get hit good. I'll bet a 1/2" additional from that alone. Meanwhile, here it's letting up and I'm back to really light snow. Officially 1.0" on the board. Temp up to 16.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 There is a death snake of 25-30 dbZ snows on or slightly north of the Mason Dixon from Cumberland MD to the Adams/Franklin County Line. Unique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
