Mount Joy Snowman Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 9am Obs: 33/33 with moderate to heavy snow falling. An additional 1.5" brings storm total to 5.0". Visibilities quite low, as a lot of the far-off trees in the neighborhood have disappeared. It will probably pull out of here quickly once we hit the 10 o'clock hour. Just going to enjoy this beautiful scene since it won't last long. Congrats to all! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 At 9:00am here in Carlisle the temperature is 33.6 degrees and beginning to rise. The back edge of the snow has just reached me and I'm down to flurries. During the past hour an additional 0.2" of snow has accumulated, giving a storm total of 5.8". I'm going to melt down the snow and then I'll at least know the entire liquid equivalent of the rain + snow. I'm thinking I'll estimate an SLR of 8:1 which would give the melted snow water content of 0.73". I'll be back to give the final total melted equivalent in the next hour.

Bubbler86 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 GFS too north, EC 0Z too South for the Icon Sat snowstorm. At least a possible tracking event this week. A shallow trough promoting it. 84 hour Nam looked interesting as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Up to 37 here. Temp jumped after the snow stopped. I shoveled anyway as it is a good workout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing the back and forth game of "I really should shovel" - "nah...it's going to melt like crazy" - repeat. I'm thinking lazy wins out. (I'll shovel the sidewalk though) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Best part of this snow is that sidewalks and driveway amounts are substantially less than grass so I won't need to break my back shoveling. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck yeah it is. My visibility is about as low as it's been all morning. It does seem like I'm not accumulating quite as efficiently though, with the temp above freezing and rising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 38 minutes ago, DDweatherman said: @MAG5035 what kind of SLR did you measure up there? Temps ended up being solid here and 850’s were plenty good. Makes me think ratios may have been closer to 10:1 than expected. I was seeing some decent flakes during the 2” an hour stuff I’ll have to melt out my Ambient rain gauge to see what kind of number I get. Going off pasty consistency of snow it’s likely a 7-8 to 1 type snow. The best deform snow missed here to the south and east, so we had a nice moderate rate mostly but not intense snowfall. That took a bit to start piling up. You were under the good FGEN forcing, so while 850 and 700mb temps weren’t ideal they were probably cold enough to generate a slightly better than 10:1 ratio in terms of crystal growth. Surface temps matter to a point, but when it pours snow and starts piling up you can get decent fluff factor on marginal surface temps with good snow growth aloft.

I remember last season changing the King moniker weekly. LOL. With that said, although some of the early extreme snow totals out by the Nam were too high, it definitely got closer to the ground truth than the Caandian and Euro from yesterday.

Lol I have a couple of trees lining my driveway - there is nothing but wet pavement under and around those trees. I only have 50% coverage on my driveway even though the road is 100% covered.
