I leave my driveway, take a right, and Maryland is a few seconds. It sucks if you have GPS on as you hear "Welcome to MD" and "Welcome to PA" several times on a few of these roads that wind back and forth across the border. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Just got back after running errands past 2 hours. Surprised it is still snowing, but the end really is arriving. Picked up another 0.2" to give me a final of 1.2" for the event. Once again the models handled this one very well as this was just about exactly what all of them were calling for over my area...between 1 and 1.5". Temp at 16.7 after peaking at 17.0. It was a great day with the calm, cold, and light snow falling all day long. Got a great view of the male cardinal that nests near my forest. Really easy to spot when the background is mainly black and white. Will be sorry to see it slowly vanish over the next few days. At least it should remain dry for a while.

I had touched on this myself a few months ago shortly after coming back here. On EUSWX we had a forum that was more specific to S Central PA and was compromised mostly of non met's who were into forecasting whether for pay or not. It was fairly technical and somewhat similar to the MA LR Forecasting forum. I have found myself having to hold back here a lot as I recognize this forum is now as much about the fun side of weather as the technical side plus it covers areas which rarely get similar weather where it pertains to snow storms. I feel a bit weird posting about heavy snow (which I am still getting) when people in the same forum are looking at PC skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not thinking your post was meant as a jab I just took it as the way to mention I still feel bad for you guys having to reading the OB's and was kind of chuckling about your buzzing comment as this forum used to be a lot like the MA forum though with slightly less drama.

Bubbler86 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 We ended up with approx 3.75". It has continued accumulating all evening and is just now stopping. Perfect evening for a walk.

Voyager Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Finally getting a chance to read the forum as I sit here watching the skiers at Blue Mountan near Palmerton. The wife brought me supper as she works not far from here. Her car thermometer showed 11 degrees. I saw some flurries today in Tamaqua/Hazleton, but that was it. Glad some of you got a nice little event today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Good to see some members picking up snow today. I had just a dusting and then the snow turned into some of the smallest flakes I can remember seeing. The sun came out in the afternoon and we ended up with some snow melt.

It looks like MDT only measured 1.1 inches of snow with .10 of precip today. I thought that with the ratios forecast for today that .10 of precip would have produced closer to 2 inches of snow with a 20-1 ratio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 At the moment conditions are perfect for extreme radiational cooling. The skies cleared right after sunset. The winds are calm and haven't budged since 7:00. There is fresh snow of varying depths from roughly my latitude and south. I suppose only the dewpoints might prevent an incredible drop, but I think a lot of people are headed towards zero and below by morning. That includes those up north who didn't get anything today but who still have a decent snowpack on the ground. I'm down to 8.4 after being near 17 just 4 hours ago. I'm expecting to drop to zero by morning and wouldn't be surprised to see lower than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Happy for you guys to get another snowfall down there to enjoy. When it gets above freezing and the sun is out, don't blink...because this high ratio fluff disappears FAST. Take it from somebody who has had experience with it.

TheDreamTraveler Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 The next couple days of 40's and 50's are gonna feel sooo nice. I was hoping we would have gotten close to 60 on tuesday but doesn't look like it's happening. Can't complain though, I'll take a couple nice days after this brutal cold.

CarlislePaWx Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 At midnight I have radiated all the way down to +2.5 degrees. The rate of decline had been steady at 2 deg/hour until about the last hour when it slowed down to less than 1 deg/hr. That probably means I'm not going to go much below zero overnight, but we'll see in the morning. A quick peak at all my surrounding wunderground stations shows they are all radiating also. NWS had to drastically lower their original forecasted lows. Mine earlier was for a low of 10. Now they have it at 4, which I'm already below. York bottomed out back at 10pm at -6 before rising back up a tiny bit. I melted down my snow and my 1.2" produced 0.08" of liquid for a perfect 15:1 ratio. Cashtown, what was your ratio?? Tomorrow's forecast high of 40 with sun is literally going to feel like a heatwave. It's been continuously below freezing here since 4:15pm back on the 28th. When we rise above it tomorrow afternoon I'll calculate the number of hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Currently at 6 degrees, colder than I thought I would be. Wonder what our high temp will be today? Looks to be a pretty boring weather week snow wise. Warmer temps which brings rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
