Itstrainingtime

Greatest storm ever. The buildup was unprecedented...everyone knew it was coming for 5-7 days in advance. The water vapor loop for that storm is jaw-dropping. I had snow cover for 10 days after the storm. Of course, that was the middle of March..

I had 6 hours of sleet which added up to close to 4". It, along with the wind was epic. Sleet extended back to about 81 or so?

The Tamaqua snow drought has been conquered!

Sleet is reminding me of March 93. Just pouring sleet.

That's what it looks like here now. It is ripping sleet, lol!

Well done! More than doubled what I have.

How much do you have?

I had a few parachutes mix in about 10 minutes ago and was hoping against hope I'd switch back fully for a while. Alas...those parachutes lasted all of about 2 minutes.

You still have me beat. I'm at 9.3" for the season currently.

Thanks... Sleet here as well. Finished with .7" of snow.

-SN 27/23

Good luck...it isn't going to verify down me thinks.

My temp is up to 28.4! Ceiling really raised the last hour, it's starting to thicken again now.

It really isn't a surprise. Warm air aloft waiteth for no one...

Like many others, .3" here. Snow just stopped at 10:30 as round #2 approaches from the west.

Horst is calling for "an aggressive push or warm air aloft" for what it's worth. New map: (he moved the 3-6" contour south) First and last post from me regarding Horst until the next event.

There is truth in that statement...there have been situations where LP has cut far enough west to help and not hurt us. Man, I'd love to see my grass disappear and then layered in ice. I can enjoy it for days.

No...I said I was sticking with my call. To this point this has been a good example of not model or more specifically snow map hugging. Have to know your climo in these types of events and then watch how the QPF distribution plays out. I know you watch the thermals which obviously means everything in one sense, but keeping them or losing them really results in us getting say closer to 2" or potentially making a run at 4". My rule of thumb is this: we lose thermals quicker than modeled, we keep ground temps longer than modeled. I constantly remind myself to expect more ice and less snow. This is making an assumption that we have CAD, which we will. There are exceptions and nuances with every event to be sure, but the above works out well for me way more often than it lets me down.

Steady (sort of, I wavered a bit Wednesday) as she goes with my Monday call: a general 2-4" with perhaps a bit less south and a bit more north.

Regardless of how much or little snow falls tomorrow, at least it will feel like winter for at least the next 5 days. For those that were talking about Roundtop the other night (and my daughter is up there skiing a lot) at the very least they'll be blowing a lot of the man made variety. If we don't have much or anything to look at in our backyards they'll have a nice base by midweek.

On Monday they were calling for 5-8". Dropped it down to 3-5" on Tuesday and they haven't budged from those numbers since.

I so appreciate this comment. I hit a squall coming home from Philly last night...I'm 100% certain is nowhere near the magnitude of your experience, saying that we went from dry roads and what appeared to be mostly clear sky to blinding snow and a complete ground covering in seconds. Traffic went from 75-80mph down to 35 immediately. It was really cool but sort of scary, and i cannot begin to imagine what it's like to drive in "real" squalls up closer to the lakes. Glad you're safe!

Just got home from the Flyers game and ran into a heavy snow shower between Valley Forge and Morgantown. Everything was covered except for the driving lanes. Wasn't expecting that!

I honestly don't know. That might be a snow-only map?

Time to venture up 44 north to Potter county...
