Should be framed in the weenie louve. I'm glad I listened to my gut about this one and didn't get invested. I almost didn't post my analysis very early this morning. I feel bad it ended up verifying to such an extent.

It was always going to happen to someone due to the area between both bands having all moisture vacuumed up. Can't cool the column. Let's remember 2009 and 2016 for how insane the cut off is in these storms.

My mulch is turning white! 

[HBGCPA10]

Nothing on the concrete sidewalks on streets yet. 35 degrees. I don't think they even pre-treated the roads.

[Blizzard of 93]

Sorry if I got too snippy with anyone earlier today… snow is serious business, lol!

This storm has been a roller coaster this week, hopefully the final twist & turn tonight gives us a decent end to the ride.

My wife went out and got us some Mexican so I made margaritas.  I only say that to say that I'm staying up until midnight to watch this play out.  Have work tomorrow but plan on taking an 8pm and 12am observation before hitting the sack.  Let's squeeze out what we can!

Nice. Yeah I’m goi g to stay up as long as I can. Beautiful out there. Enjoy.

My temp in Marysville finally made it back to 32 with light to moderate snow continuing.

[Jns2183]

Now pray for storm to bomb out, retrograde further and tuck in longer. That would be the maximum hilarious factor of the rare back end cover after the news stations just predicted total snow in Harrisburg of 1"-2" after the forecast this morning

I like seeing radar in the last hour pushing the main precip shield back north & west beyond State College & Altoona. Hopefully we get into some heavier bands before the low exits east overnight.

At 8:00pm here in Carlisle...it is snowing lightly, and has been light for most of the past hour with a few brief periods of moderate snow.  The temperature seems locked at 32.4 degrees.  During the past hour I only recorded 0.2" of new snow.  This brings the storm total to 1.5".  Last night the 0Z run of the HRRR through 1:00am tomorrow only gave me a storm total of 2.7" with 0.46" of total qpf.  It will be interesting to see how close I end up coming to those numbers.

8pm Obs:  Snowing moderately at 32 degrees with 99% RH.  1.6" of wet sticky snow has fallen.  Can't say I love the radar presentation around my area but as long as it's snowing I'm happy.  Steady as she goes.  Time to put the kids to bed and give these margaritas the attention they deserve. Onward.

Best snow of event right now. 

[Blizzard of 93]

Side streets have caved in Marysville.

Lol, only 12 hours later than I had anticipated last night…

Incredible. I was just outside and I have .2" with flurries. All paved surfaces are wet. I'm not even going to make the low range of my prediction. Disappointing.

Yep, hoping those Chester Co. returns keep swinging westward.

[canderson]

Trash can old has caned completely. So has my garage roof. Anything paved is just wet.

Shouldn’t have said anything. Lightened up now but still steady light snow. 

[Mshaffer526]

About 2.25" in Gap. Are we about done soon out this way? Seems like heavier returns from the pivot are Chesco on east

Another thing is that there is absolutely no wind at all

It’ll hit early early Monday am

Road is starting to cave

[Blizzard of 93]

MDT last couple of Obs this hour is down to .5 mile visibility and they made it down to 32 degrees.

[Yardstickgozinya]

Rt114 Lewisbury road in Fairview, township is trash. 

[Yardstickgozinya]

It's absolutely gorgeous out here. I'm on my way up to the highest elevation within walking distance of my home.  Hopefully, Norfolk Southern gets those air horns blasting throughout the valley tonight

That's remarkable, not sure we've ever had that kind of snow difference between us.  I was wondering though, looking at the radar earlier, if things were having trouble making it your way.  I have finally dropped below 32, to 31, but with the lightest snow of the event thus far.  Again, not loving the radar.

[Yardstickgozinya]

F*** yeah ,bring it on!!!

[MAG5035]

Accumulating snow has finally resumed here for the first time in the last like 10-12 hours as that renewed surge of steady precip backing west has reached the I-99 corridor.

Winds are up too, with a high gust of 26mph (NNW). Temp down to 30ºF
