CarlislePaWx Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Here's an intermediate update as of 11:30am, the heavy snow has ended and it's back to light to occasionally moderate. The heavy burst, which lasted less than 20 minutes, deposited only another 0.2" giving a storm total of 2.2". I think there's partial melting or compacting going on even though the temp, which dropped to 27.3, has risen back up to 27.9. The winds are definitely beginning to pick up, now easily gusting over 20mph and sustained around 10mph. Not much in the way of blowing snow so far. According to Blizz, just 20 miles east of me, it is a whole different world with the heavy snow and blowing snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I just measured in several protected spots in the yard and measured 4.75 of snow as of 12 pm in Marysville. Moderate snow continues. Winter Storm Warning is about to verify in Marysville once I cross 5 inches soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 At 12:00 noon it continues to snow lightly and there is some blowing snow taking place now. Since my report 30 minutes ago only an additional 0.1" of new snow has fallen. Since 11:00am an additional 0.3" has fallen bringing the storm total to 2.3". The temp is beginning to fall again and after rising to 28 it has fallen back to 27.0. The pressure has leveled off at 1001 millibars and has been steady for the past several hours. Wind continue to ramp up, sustained between 10-15mph, gusting occasionally to 25mph. Judging by the radar it looks like the snow portion of this storm is about to rapidly wind down for me, meaning that my storm total will likely be just under 2.5". >>Yes, my NWS feed is also screwed up. It says that I am still in a winter storm watch (the one from yesterday) as well as a winter storm warning. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Looks to almost be winding down here already. Sunny is poking through clouds and it's barely snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Snow has stopped, and the temp has gone from a low of 28.0 up to it's current 30.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 We picked up about an 1" in the last 90 min. Snow is very light right now though there is another band forming to the west...a fairly large one actually. The wind is picking up so it looks like it is still snowing hard at times. My measure lamp, that Cashtown did not like, shows 7" but going to go with 6 per my every 1-2 hour ob's. Just finished shoveling and it is heavy which is going to lead to an observation. Roads temps really are affecting things as I was shoveling 4-5" off and getting puddles under that snow despite tt being in the mid 20's right now. The march sun is not causing puddles to form under the snow. Heat coming up from the bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy56 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Strange how we had some of our best rates here in Linglestown over the past 45 minutes with the worst radar presentation of the event.. not complaining, great flake size, accumulating nicely. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 For my nooners break I parsed over the MA board to try and narrow the goal posts on accums. Seems the M/D County posters coming it at 5-7". PSU had 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say the same. Winds cranking up now too. Watching it accumulate and promptly melt on the sidewalk is a fun game. It’s about half-covered. I had hoped this would be my 2nd shovel storm of the season but alas not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 That line just arrived and it is accompanied by fairly high winds. Gust to 39. Snow is Moderate to Sn+. Hope it makes it east for everyone, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting theory. I think it is some of both. I have a paver checkerboard beside my driveway and dark ones are clear, the light ones still have snow. They are not that thick so unlikely the darker ones retained heat for an extended period of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the slush layer underneath that never froze despite the temps. It supported snow laying on it but something kept it from freezing on the bottom. The roads here have 2-4" on them still (side roads). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hopefully the MDT observer can get an accurate measurement with all of the wind. The CTP website being down won’t help with the official stats either unless they are back up & running soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
