Bubbler86 Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 First 12Z, HHHR, still has 6-7 hours of snow as the initial primary deepens to 991 pulling into S/W PA. A small step back from earlier accums. About 1/2" less at MDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axis of "heaviest" snow really pushing out into Ohio and far N/W PA so far on 12Z's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHHr wont have any for the burg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes models are too fast on eroding it. But what do I know. Yea, will be interesting nowcasting. I think the most snow friendly models are going 6-7 hours. If the real low level holds longer than it would mean more frz. Hrrr has 6 hours of plain rain before the dry slot gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Maybe a MET or someone who knows more can answer this. I keep seeing the NAM put out some pretty high level precip totals in what should be all snow, as in 1.5 in qpf, but the snow depth change map is only showing like 6-8 inches of snow. One, are those maps worthless, and two do some of the models struggle with thinking there are P-Type issue when there really aren't? I know people have been saying the same thing about the UKIE where it shows 1.2 inches of QPF for example and 8 inches of snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Nams line up with the other models fairly well right now as to low progression. Just about an 1" less for us. I ran through all the less common Meso's and 2-4" for the LSV and near counties seems to be the primary thought with almost everything 12Z so far. HRRR is more like 3-5".

canderson Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 CTP posted to Facebook… 520 AM 1/16/2022: A significant "Nor'Easter," one type of East Coast snowstorm (ECS), will affect the entire eastern seaboard today into Monday. Note the track/path of the center of the low pressure area (noted as a red "L" on the maps attached) will cross PA from south to north, likely just to the west of the Mainstem Susquehanna River. This track is usually one which allows a great deal of warm air to be drawn in from the Atlantic Ocean, and deeper (farther west) into PA. This results in much more mix precipitation and plain rain than would a track which would follow the NJ coast or the Delaware River. The track of the low has become much more certain over the past two days. Thus, any earlier forecasts which allowed for extreme amounts of snow over the Susq Valley are looking like they will not come to fruition. Usually, as we get closer to a (potential) storm, the forecasts improve in timing and precipitation type and amounts. This storm, and how the forecast has evolved over the last few days, is a good example of why we ask that you "stay tuned" and "check back for updates." This is especially true when there are many days to go before a storm could arrive. So, please do not latch on to the first forecast you see, especially if it is just a snowfall amount map. So many things can change regarding the interactions of all the meteorological conditions which influence a storm over the course of many days.

All the water logged snow and slush is going to turn into a rock once temps drop, and if I work tomorrow, I won't get it cleaned up before it re-freezes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashtown_Coop Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Not sure if it was brought up yet but CTP added more counties to warnings including Mag. Warning also stats 50mph gust Really couldn’t ask for a better scenario with clear skies last night and our lowest temps of the season with clouds pushing in now to lock the cold in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Wow! Talk about a rapid temperature increase this morning. We went from -1.5 at 7:30am to 14.2 now at 10:00am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Good morning all. After reviewing the most recent 60 posts I can see that the majority of the models are still showing 5-6" of the snow thump. One thing I found interesting in the Euro surface maps was that it does not appear that any plain rain ever makes it to me. It wasn't showing much of any freezing rain. I don't know about sleet and if the sleet is part of the total snow accumulations. In any case, my low this morning was +4.3 degrees, by far the coldest temperature I've seen in I think 3 years. Temp is now up to 12.7 with a dew point of +1.4. Boy that air is dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 My point-n-click looks better than last night. They upped me from 2-4" to 3-6". Best news is that they only give me plain rain for one hour between 3-4am with an expected max temp of 37. That's pretty encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I was curious so I asked CTP about why there are no wind advisories. They had a great response: Chris Anderson When there is already a winter storm advisory or warning in effect for an area, there isn't a need/requirement to add another/separate advisory. At the point/time when the other warnings and advisories are/will not be in effect, then a wind advisory is recommended. Looking at the current forecast, this point is still 24+ hrs out for just a handful (3-4) counties. There is still time to discern whether or not the marginal wind gusts (forecast to be right at or just above 40KT) warrant issuance of a stand-alone wind advisory. If forecast confidence in a period of 40+KT gusts remains or increases for these 3 or 4 counties (and for the 3 to 6 hours such conditions might last after the winter headlines expire) we probably will do it. Gusty winds are already mentioned in much of the forecast information we have out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
