Superstorm Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Yes that is quite the difference between us. I will measure again at 1pm but I should be close to 3", I would think. Yeah, we'll see what happens with any redevelopment from the coastal but it doesn't look like anything too crazy. Thinking maybe we can add another inch, 2 if things break just right.I’m at 3” as well near Willow Street.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have thought you'd have a touch more than me. I'll have another official observation at 1pm so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to get up near 4.5" for this one. Maybe we get a convective band this aftn too who knows. Use our geography to our advantage.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Checking in over lunch, I’m happy to hear that most of our southern tier counties are doing well. I just measured 2.3” in Marysville with steady light snow continuing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have several more hours of light snow to go today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Observation time - we talk about this every winter. Sun angle. People have strong opinions on this. Here's mine...it really comes down to rates. If it's legit +SN and 33 degrees in early March, it WILL accumulate on ALL surfaces. It might struggle midday, but heavy snow (like verifiable 1/4 mile vis or less) will overcome sun angle and to a large degree...temps. I cleared off my sidewalk at 11am. It is snowing "nicely" right now...verified steady light snow. It's currently 28 degrees and it's January 19th. All of my paved surfaces are 100% wet. Snow is melting on contact despite being several degrees below freezing and still in January. It really is about rates. Now, if it was December 22nd and 22 degrees...this same rate of snow would likely be sticking to all surfaces. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I hope we can sneak something in over the next 15 days, even a mixed or slop event. Folks up north/west of mby have a better chance with pressing surface Highs being advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paweather Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 About 2.5" here with a little light snow. Congrats to the winners down south and Bubbler and Mitch and many others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 At 1:00pm in Carlisle, the temperature is up to 29.5 degrees. The snow continues to fall lightly. In the last 15 minutes the rate has increased somewhat, but still small flakes. During the past 2 hours an additional 0.6" has fallen giving a storm total of 2.6". Current rate about 0.3"/hr. Still need another 0.7" to reach Tuesday's total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasnownut Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Just got home a bit ago. Eyeballing and spot measurements in Etown Manheim, Lititz and my house Etown 2.5 ish 27 deg Manheim 2.0ish 25deg Litltz 2.5ish 26 deg House 3.5 on back porch 27 deg Any previously treated surfaces were wet and melting. Anything not treated or plowed was snow covered or slippy for sure. These are obs during my 28 mile trek home to hang out w/ my wife. Except for Manheim, I got out and measured. Just beautiful out there. Saw fresh snowmobile tracks in manheim. Looking forward to some riding tomorrow. Last night on way home Etown was brining already whitish roads, so makes sense that stickage was gonna be tough. Steady light snow in Akron. Hoping coastal backend gives me another 1-1.5. Great friggin day. No chest thumpin here. Just enjoying a nice event that we saw from far out, and it worked. This will stick around for a few days at least...enjoy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop_Mason Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 M4.1”. Snow depth is 7”. Marking this storm down as a win!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Joy Snowman Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 1pm observation: 1.2" of additional snow over the last four hours, bringing my event total to 3.7". Steady light snow continues but things seem to be slowly ramping up again. Sitting at 31/25, although my thermo is spiking a wee bit due to meager midday solar getting through (crazy I know, but true, running a couple degrees higher than any surrounding station). Let's see what the afternoon brings. Not seeing much in the way of coastal redevelopment showing up on the radar for the LSV but the water vapor loop seems promising. That might be the best tool to use in this instance. Fun little event. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Training, on what kind of surface do you take your official snow measurements? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 930 Am on top...Now below. May be some mountain interference with radar but the snow to our west is definitely lessened. HRRR now suggest we are left with heavy snow showers/streamers this evening where someone could really jump an 1" fast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
