dryslotted Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 its going to take a while with dp in the single digits as tom said it will take a while.... ignore the pa stuff Didn't realize dp were that low, I thought maybe western parts of the area may start to see flurries soon. I think I maybe weenied out a bit when I came home and took a quick look at the radar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 28 F here in levittown...projected low was 26...with the DP's so low, i'm thinking we get down to 24 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAPPG Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Ready for snow. Temp creeping up 26 to now 27 Winds SW 1-2 DP at 10, up from 3. The dry air may make for higher than normal qp/snow ratios, > than 10:1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dry air may make for higher than normal qp/snow ratios, > than 10:1? snow ratios will prob mostly 10:1 or less. The temperature profile in the snow growth zone is not good at all and the omega is lackluster and not in the ideal spot for good snow ratios.

MGorse Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 28 F here in levittown...projected low was 26...with the DP's so low, i'm thinking we get down to 24 or so. Temperatures may not lower to much now as the clouds are thickening and gradually lowering (perhaps a little lowering of the temperatures though with the onset of the snow).

_AR_ Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 24F here. I think it really is going to take a while for it to make it to the ground. I would expect a period of virga for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGorse Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 just started snowing in jst and fredricksburg va... JST's elevation is 2,280 feet though. It looks like the sites around there that are at a lower elevation, the snow has not started yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 JST's elevation is 2,280 feet though. It looks like the sites around there that are at a lower elevation, the snow has not started yet. Got a pretty decent clip of light snow going where I'm at off the Laurels. About 6 miles north of Altoona at 1200' ish. Looks like just a brief initial wave of precip. It seems like that shield has a little bit of work to do around the Pittsburgh area. That gang in the Pitt/western PA thread is already sending obs of mixed precipitation.

That gang in the Pitt/western PA thread is already sending obs of mixed precipitation. Yeah, I see many more obs now showing the snow has reached the ground. The 00z PIT sounding was all below freezing, but a 'warmer' layer is noted at 800 mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
