I was editing my video from yesterday, and the wife said it started snowing here. It'll be interesting to see when, or if, my dermatologist appointment for today gets postponed.

It’s early….but I might go with underachiever. Not even laying on road surface.

Where are you located again?

Must have been a wall of snow to start. Wasn't snowing when I got up. Got my coffee and started on my video. Wife then told me it was snowing, and by the time got downstairs, full on moderate snow with everything covered already. One hour from nothing to about a quarter inch.

Just north of Williamsport

My kids’ school just closed. Southern York County.

31 degrees here and the warm nose has entered the conversation, as I’ve transitioned fully to sleet after a very brief period of snow. CC radar shows the line perfectly. Maybe .2” but happy for those that are making out. Hopefully not a harbinger of what’s to come down this way this winter ha.

About 1 inch of snow so far near Linglestown, but watching the warm nose push toward the Harrisburg metro.

Is it snowing in the 'burg? If it is and its laying. Haven't heard any reports yet, unless I missed 'em.

[ChescoWx]

Sleet mixed with a few mangled snow flakes here in East Nantmeal in NW Chesco temp 30.8 DP 22.9. With our 2nd winter event of the 2025/26 season. Surfaces have a small snow/sleet cover. 

[Blizzard of 93]

Moderate snow in Marysville continues with eyeballing over 1 inch covering all surfaces.

1.2" here in Etters, but now a definite mix of liquid, ice pellets, and a few dendrites falling from the sky...

oops went back to snow

[mahantango#1]

I seen in the NWS forecast there's no mention of any precip. thru next Monday. Wonder if that will change?

[canderson]

Not enough to snow blow unfortunately and with temps at 32 ….

[ChescoWx]

This morning's wintry mix our 2nd winter event of the season should slowly change to plain rain as we rise above freezing in most spots by later this morning. Some higher ridge spots may take into the early PM to get above freezing. Be careful if out driving this morning. Either way the rain will end later today, and we will stay much colder than normal for the rest of the week. Our warmest day looks to be tomorrow with temperatures near 10 degrees below normal for early December. We turn even colder by Friday with highs remaining below freezing for much of the area. There is a slight chance of some light snow on Friday night.

[Blizzard92]

Still light (all) snow here (1.5in), but very poor flake quality (notably the warm nose has pushed back south in the latest CC returns). Watching heavier returns move in from the west and hoping for some better dendrites...

Now up to 31.1 - hoping for some cooling at onset of precip.

I'm following right behind you.  Up to 30.6 (from 23.5).  However, dp is 23 and wet bulb is 27.  I'm pretty sure we'll both drop some once the snow gets going. With a wet bulb of 27, that could pull me back to between 28 and 29.  Hey, it still accumulates at 32, and if it falls heavily enough it can still accumulate up to 34.  Oh wow, as I'm about to hit send I've now caught up to you...31.1 !  That's almost 8 degrees up from just a few hours ago.  In any case, my board is set up for whatever I get, along with my clear vue gauge to melt down at the end.  Off to bed for now.  I'll see if I can get myself out of bed by 7:00 ish to catch the first hour or two of accumulations.

>>PS...Now I'm up to 31.6......ughh...nope...Now up to 32.0.  This is ridiculous.  Now 32.2.  I should have hit send 10 minutes ago...lol.

[Jns2183]

Big fat flakes, moderate snow. This batch here is the ball game. She should be done in 2-3 hours

At 9:00am in Carlisle, it is snowing lightly.  The temperature is 30.4 degrees with a dew point of 28.8 degrees and a wet bulb of 29.8 degrees.  At 8:00am I had 1.1" of snow (my first ob today).  After having light sleet for 15 minutes just before 8:00am it switched back to all snow.  New snowfall the past hour was a paltry 0.2" giving a storm total thus far of 1.3".

(I have a doctor appointment at 10:00 so I won't be updating my obs until when I get back which may not be until the noon ob).  ttyl

...haha...just as I am about to post this the snow intensity has dramatically increased to moderate with much larger flakes.  0.5"/hr rate 

[Yardstickgozinya]

It just started ripping here about five minutes ago, for the first time since the start of the event.

The good stuff's right behind those fat flakes
