A lot of changes yet with this one, me thinks. Just saw that - it will change many times but as depicted on THIS run we're on both the western and southern edge of decent snowfall. I'd love to see a thread-coverage win...at least for the entire LSV who has done nothing short of abysmal this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb question - what is the difference between a zone forecast and point and click? I picked downtown Harrisburg and the forecast on P&C is for less than a half inch.

Itstrainingtime Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Kinda bold...here's Elliott: Due to the milder trends with tomorrow's storm & my expectation for no snow accumulation on paved surfaces, I've deemed a snow map unnecessary for this event. Any winter-weather road concerns & meaningful snow amounts should be confined to areas along/north of I-80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (1/4) For snow-lovers in south-central PA, tomorrow's storm isn't it. There are just too many things "wrong" with the setup. First, surface temps tomorrow afternoon are going to be in the mid 30s N/W of I-81 to low 40s along the MD Line.. too high for much if any snow to stick.. (2/4) Next, a rain/snow mix will overspread the Lower Susquehanna Valley from southwest-to-northeast between ~7-11 AM before changing over to rain from south-to-north after midday. Here's the problem: precip prior to midday should generally be on the light side.. (3/4) Any AM light snow will struggle to overcome the strong March sun and high ground temps, making accumulation difficult if not impossible. Finally, the upper-level low (ULL) will track just to our north, and colder air/steadier precip are found north/east of a ULL's center.. (4/4) To sum it up, roadways will just be wet tomorrow.. great news for motorists! Areas S/E of I-76/Rt 15 will struggle to receive a coating of snow on non-paved surfaces, & 1-2" amounts farther N/W should be confined to higher terrain above 750 ft. Even that isn't a guarantee..

LOL, I would not be calling for 2-4" near Harrisburg so quite surprising. They even double down in their new AFD talking about 1-3 daytime tomorrow. Farther south, expecting rain to mix with snow for a few hours Friday afternoon and evening, especially along and south of the PA Turnpike. High temperatures pushing into the upper 30s to near 40 should also lead to a bit more melting at the onset and therefore slightly lower amounts - generally 1-3" with higher amounts on ridgetops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might wanna buy a snowglobe if you wanna see flakes flyin as you are now teetering on the r/s line. Sauss n Blizz may be flaking while you are drinkin your sorrows away w/ white rain. southern tier back to Adams county is out (save a few pitty flakes early on). Mind you this is verbatim, but the north tick is not to be denied. Column is cool, but surface notsomuch. Precip rates/dews will help some overcome marginal surface, but not for all (like us southers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Ukie also has the Monday/Tuesday storm - looking at the maps for the Ukie, the first thing that comes to mind is the Boxing Day debacle about 10-12 years ago when I saw flurries, Philly received 8", and most of NJ had between 20-30". (forecast for Lanco for that storm was for 6-12" and we were under a Winter Storm Warning the morning of the storm...but I saw nothing but a few scattered flakes) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor sharp western cutoff that was modeled to be 50-75 miles too far west. I filed that away for future reference - that was not the first time that happened in Lanco...I think it was March 2001 (?) we were forecast to receive up to 2 feet of snow...ended up with 2' of partly cloudy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one to two or one to three forecast beside you seem over blown as well but they are still there. Moving one pixel and clicking can change them if not using zipcodes.

I was stuck behind one of the machines/trucks for a mile or so...4-5 white lines on the road. Last time they did it, there was nothing though. It will have to snow hard to lay on the road with the temps tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
