Any concerns about us losing a couple of hours to rain or mix? With precip moving in during the early evening hours, you and me are likely going to be at least several degrees above freezing.

Just saw this but no. Dew points low enough to offset and surface warmth. Worst case a pinger or 2. Looks like it’s on our doorstep now. Saw a lonely flake or two an hour ago. 

[pasnownut]

 7:50 and first flakes of the main show have commenced. 
 

To all in the game, enjoy and good luck to all.

Same here. Dusting on anything that's not been treated from the past storms, but the roads are trying to cave with a temp of 30.4 degrees.

About time we get some action.

32.5  Light Snow, Driveway already white

[HBGCPA10]

8PM Update. Still just light snow. Streets/driveways/sidewalks all just wet. Temp 34.3

[Blizzard of 93]

Light snow in Marysville with car tops & grass dusted. Fluff factor looks good on the car tops which should help when rates pick up. Temp is 32.

Agreed and nice profile pic. Hope we some action in Philly tomorrow.

To bad it won’t be snowing during the game tomorrow, would be fun to watch!

Passing an inch here with steady light to moderate. Roads covered and 29ºF. 

Next couple hours are going to make or break the event here I think in terms of whether I can score a solid advisory event. Some of the better enhanced banding over Pittsburgh should translate over this way in that timeframe. Downsloping hasn’t been too much of an issue so far here being right against the Allegheny Front. 

Should also note starting to see the enhancement of the precip in the Sus Valley as well on CTP and LWX radar.

We've been under fairly high radar returns all evening in Dauphin County, but having trouble sticking still with warm temperatures still hovering around 32-33°F.

[Voyager]

Getting better rates and bigger flakes now. Temp down to 29.8 degrees.

[canderson]

On 283 between the turnpike and 83 it’s rain and car reads 36

[Mount Joy Snowman]

We are well under way here at KMJS. Temp 33 and dropping. All surfaces lightly frosted. Feeling good about how things are developing. Good luck to all!

This was my concern this morning. Despite having snow and sleet falling for the past 90 minutes it is just now starting to accumulate. Temp is still above freezing at 33.

Hone and just wet but this is not HBG’s storm (I expect maybe 1/4” here personally. Hope the Lancaster County crew can get 2-3” out of it.

Lol, it’s still snowing back to Cincinnati, OH. Radar looks great.

sadly it did get to 40 today but only because it was sunny for a time after the clouds rolled in last night. it was supposed to be cloudy all day but did hit that 40 and making hard for anything to stick in my area wet roads sidewalks atm.

yeah thats what sucked about today was forecasted to be cloudy all day after the clouds rolled in late last night. but magically it turned out to be party cloudy for a few hours 

[Yardstickgozinya]

It started here in Fairview township with very light flakes, at 4:17pm and developed into the light snow right around 8:00pm. I haven't seen anything but snowflakes here today and i'm looking at a dusting of accumulation at the moment .

 

[Blizzard of 93]

The storm is on track for a solid Advisory event for the majority of the LSV.

Same here, but the usual panicking will continue on here by the usual folks…

Hey I've been out enjoying myself since it started. It's already a win for me no matter what happens.

Agree 100%. I still firmly believe I will do well. The perfectionist in me is frustrated that I'm losing precip to warm temps. I still have completely wet roads and just a slushy coating on the grass.
