sauss06 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 fwiw CTP has had MDT at 2-4" for two days. yep and i'm ok with that. I have seen some of the local TV guys and their percision cast that shows a little more, but generally, i think most of the Harrisburg guys are all very close in their thoughts. Have you seen anything different, i haven't seen them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 fwiw CTP has had MDT at 2-4" for two days. Still going with 3-7 here, but I wonder if it will be adjusted with the new forecasts coming out for the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 And CTP mentioned needles in their discussion. Ugh. That's what partially screwed in the 2004-2005 storms. Yeah, no good. We had terrible flakes during the January 22, 2005 storm that crushed Boston and the Cape. Managed 6" pretty quickly but then the snow shut off suddenly and never returned. It never got above 12° or so while it was snowing, but it was like shoveling sand...I don't even know that we managed 10:1 ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Yeah, no good. We had terrible flakes during the January 22, 2005 storm that crushed Boston and the Cape.

Looks like IPT is going to get it pretty good in the next hour or so. Some nice returns developing and heading that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Festus Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I just had my moment. I always thought NWS output was by county but now realize it's a much finer grid. What is it, like 3 or 4 miles on a side? So eastern Lancaster County (New Holland for example) has 3 - 5, while western sections (such as Maytown) shows 2 - 4. I guess they take the highest value within a county for the appropriate criteria product to be issued. Most of you probably knew this already but thought I'd share just in case. I'm a definite nominee for the DUH Award of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen anything different, i haven't seen them all. I haven't seen much of anything. I believe last night that Eric dude from abc27 who's no good said northern Dauphin might see 5". I shouldn't say he's not any good, as actually he's been pretty good the past two years with winter storms. This is from Ray over on the Philly forum in regards to current sat images: The radar is not looking good to me if you are in the Del Valley. Screaming dry slot... classic Miller B problem.

pawatch Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I seen someone posted: Henry Margusity posted on Twitter/ FB: "Haven't been to either to check it out" Models are totally missing the strength of the Ohio storm. Pressure right now is 1013 mb. Models have the pressure at 1016-1020 mb. Implications could mean the Ohio storm just drudges east down I-80 and picks up the coastal on the way. Would definitely change things for central Pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Pretty steady snow has been falling the last hour, i'd say coming down at about a moderate clip right now. Did have a heavy burst a lil while ago. From what i've seen so far, there some pretty nice flakes falling so when the intensity starts ramping up later it should accumulate pretty efficiently.

Scummyratguy Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 even since typing the last message, the flakes have gotten bigger and more intense.... not looking at radar, I'm very curious as to which low is responsible for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001kx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 i can see what looks like a traffic cam on the 322 / 879 bypass by the clearfield mall but i cant find the cam online? i dont see it on the penn dot cam site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Wow, snow picking up here at WITF Jon. How's it over on Cameron? (I assume you know where WITF is). The pressure is indeed lower than modeled, but wouldn't that create much tighter gradients and arguably really screw someone in the SC corridor out of snow?
