Central PA Winter 25/26 Discussion and Obs

[Mount Joy Snowman]

Aaaaand there it is, I can rest easy now, as snow is officially falling at KMJS with a temp of 33. Night all.

Heaviest snow of the night so far as of 11pm reported 1.3" of snow so far today, Heaviest snow so far falling now but the back edge is approaching.

Temp began to drop finally about 30 minutes ago...now down to 33.4 degrees.  The mixture has now reversed and is wet snowflakes mixed with some rain.  Still not enough to show any signs of accumulating.  Current radar implies that the end is very near for me, unless it continues without being picked up by radar.  Picked up an additional 0.03" of precip bringing my daily total to 0.24" and monthly to 0.26".  I still have 100% coverage in my backyard which is a northern exposure.  Looks like 2.5" of solid cover remains.  In my front yard, which is a southern exposure, there still aren't any bare spots, but I'd say I'm down to around 2".

Long Island is getting slammed, with absolutely no snow in the forecast.

36dbz snow at 29-30 degrees is easy 1.5"-2" an hr. That band has been hitting same area past 2 hours. Wouldn't be surprised to see 4"+ readings, maybe 6"+:if it keeps up another hour. Not a single advisory, bulletin, hazardous weather, etc. Talk about hitting a jackpot.

That would be my range. I just woke up, got a coffee and a smoke, and went out back. I measured 2 inches on the backyard walkway. Might have been a little more if I actually had a snow board, because it initially was melting on contact on paved surfaces. I'd probably get a truer measurement if I went out front and measured on one of the cars.

My night shift truck partner sent me this. She was stuck sitting on PA309 over the Blue Mountain. The road was closed for some time due to a wreck and stuck trucks.

If I look closely I can see it snowed on the exposed grass in the yard that I shoveled from the January snowstorm. On to the next threat of snow.

So. I did more measurements...

Backyard walkway: 2"

My white GMC: 2.5"

My neighbor's blue Ford: 2.25"

Oddly precip ended up not being an issue - many areas had nearly .25” rain Sunday.

I clocked in at .14”.

Congrats on this astounding snow victory!

Woke up to a surprise 2.5" inches here in my part of the Poconos. Areas just 20 to 30 miles north of me, absolutely nothing. Sharp cutoff and nice surprise! Had to wake up early to shovel and clean up before work.
