Curious if yours accumulated on the streets/driveways? I was at or below freezing the whole event and it would never stick over here. It was kind of strange.
Just tapering off here. Ended up with 2.5" measurable on side surfaces and about 1/2" estimated of melt. Roads never became covered despite temps in the upper 20's.
Sn+ here. Would probably have 2" at this point if we were just a few degrees colder. Grass is almost covered but roads are just wet. 30 degrees.
Edit-This is the first snow, since moving here last summer, that I am seeing the effects and advantage of uplifting being on the side of South Mountain. 15-20 dBz echos become 30 dBz as they cross over.
Has been snowing light to moderate here for about 1.5 hours. No accumulation outside grass and trash can type stuff. It is 30 but just a bit too warm to take over the roads.
From NWS AFD
There remains the potential for localized snow squalls on
Wednesday as the leading edge of -20C to -30C air at 850mb
plows into central PA. Lake effect snow trajectories are focused
outside of CTP CWA into extreme northwest PA (Erie Co.) and
mainly southwest NY.
Yep, two main camps out there. The Icon leading the "NWS just screwed up again" camp with just melting light snow around MDT. I would feel a lot better about tomorrow if it were not going to be near or above freezing. This is not a major snow either way and taking place during daylight will limit its disruption but that 3-6" forecast is ballsy.
HRRR mostly agrees with Nam though it is advertising a plowable 4-6" just to the east of Cashtown along the mason dixon as well as in Nut land but again temps are not good so something is not right on that depiction. Mid to upper 30's when the snow is falling.
18z NAM sort of "held serve" but no one is nam'ed. 2-3" across most of the SV North to South, 4-6 for Lehigh Valley. Western half of PA is fairly dry. Roads will just be wet without intensity.
Its 3-6 for the Northern LSV. 2-4 for the southern half. They have overshot their load two storms in a row now. 3-6" is very high compared to guidance.
LWX is going with up top 4" at the Mason-Dixon line. Seems high. If the offices coordinate that would suggest CTP should be going 2-4 area wide, east of the mountains, with higher totals on the east side of their area.
The GFS is more like a long term light to moderate snow vs. a squall line. Most of the day tomorrow. Front seems to go through your area around mid day.
I am a bit worried with it as if we can keep surface temps down in the AM (we meaning far West LSV) we may get 1-3 in that morning slug then another 1-2 with the Front Passage possibly making my call bust low.
I am downgrading the west side of my first call with these questionable surface temps and the east trend.
