Have more snow in the last 30 minutes than I had Saturday/Sunday! Already .25” on my driveway. Might be an interesting drive to Hershey in a few minutes.

Wow, didn't expect this. Snow is falling and quickly accumulating on all surfaces. 22 degrees.

This accumulation was not forecast - just a 20% of show showers. It’s so pretty!

Well, that's what i'm saying.It's like I say, how inaccurate things are.And I get harp going for it, I don't want to be wrong, but we can't even rely on a forecast for the next day.Or for this day today, they mentioned nothing about any local forecasts.Maybe a model picked up on it, but none of the weather forecasters actually pointed that out

[canderson]

.5 “ it appears and still snowing

It's beautiful out...although it could not have come at a worst time for rush hour traffic.

Slowing to pixie dust so might be on the edge. What a fun surprise. Now for a drive …

At 5:20pm it continues to snow lightly, but no longer accumulating.  Just mood flakes...except I can't see them anymore...lol.  I measured 0.8" in total new snow.  Temperature has leveled off at 19.8 degrees.  I love how crystalline the new snow is when it falls at these cold temperatures.  My flashlight was reflecting back from the snow.  I'll go melt the snow down once it has 100% ended.  Perhaps it will be upwards of 15:1?  We'll see.

Old boy don't got many left.

A beautiful light snowfall occurring as I sit at 20 degrees. Nothing better than unexpected snow.

Yes indeed! It's tapering off here now, I just measured exactly .5".

I just measured .4” in Marysville!

Beatuful surprise snow to freshen up the snow pack.

[Yardstickgozinya]

as I said earlier roads are pretty bad.Probably best for people to stay home. Things aren't a whole lot better yet. Probably no reason to go out and make things harder for first responders.

The Euro is the only model that I could find that had it at 12z just as @mitchnick mentioned a little earlier.

CTP had a 20% chance of a snow shower.

Even a special weather statement for the LSV would have been nice especially with it hitting at rush hour.

I-81 was crawling & road conditions were not great. My normal 15 minute commute was more than doubled.

[canderson]

Used my new leaf blower for this .5” of powder - how fun! 

[CarlislePaWx]

Near 7:00pm the temp is holding near 21 degrees.  The snow flurries/showers is still continuing.  That makes 3 hours with it still snowing, just very light.  My meltdown will be forethcoming.

[AccuChris]

Picked up about 1/3” here in Lebanon and it covered everything quickly. Temp down to 20°

Oh wow nice. Not nearly that much here but you could see it diminishing quickly on the radar as it worked its way east so not surprising.

I had a burst of big dendrites that added up quickly. I was watching the band diminish as it moved east and was fortunate to maximize it.

The cold definitely held serve with this "occluded confusion"...my drive from KMDT to Newberrytown was a real treat; 65 minutes vs a "normal" 25 minutes...

makes you wonder none of the local forecasts mentioned it. they said it was going to clear up this afternoon nothing about even clouds let alone a night shot of snow.
