Phone went off for a squall warning.   The anticipation is more exciting than waiting for a thunderstorm warning 

0.5” additional from squall so far with another larger squall on its way 

2.6” here.   Nice event for everyone

Grass now disappearing which means I've reached 2".  I'm amazed looking at the radar that the green has become stationary over Adams/Cumberland/Perry counties.  Snowing heavily here again and the flake size has gone back up again which means rate is approaching 1"/hr again.  Temp holding at 32.2.  Looking great out there.  Glad to hear many are cashing in with this (not just Cashtown...lol).

I’m def not the jackpot this time.   Never got into the heavy rates that long.   Close to 3” here, but York county should clearly take the cake on this one.   5-6” seems likely

And I am in Florida.  LOL.  That band of heavy snow out near Cumberland looks to have Franklin and Adams in its sights.    Our areas look great if the qpf gets into them. 

 

LWX put out a sps highlighting that band with 1”/hr rates and heavy snow

I’ll post pics for you lol.   2-3” seems obtainable for our area

Popped in to see how things were going...surface temps seem a tad warm right now and DP's are already in the mid 20's but like the latest GFS depiction of really putting the LSV  just on the other side of the R/S line making it jackpot town.  It's where you want to be.  

I’m over your way at the eye doctor.   Nothing yet but radar looks great.   
 

35/24 back at house

Yep, my own little slice of summer.  Though the temps have dropped and the fog is creeping back down the mountain now.

 

 

The wind has backed around to the NE which prob brought the clouds back your way.

@Cashtown_Coop we were touching a bit on micro climates a couple weeks back, with the ice in your back yard and 40's and 50's in mine, and I just spent the day in Thurmont, Cascade, and Pen Mar mired in fog and mid 40's and arrived home to sunny and low 60's.  Just a couple miles apart.  This pic tells it all.  My development is the white group of houses just to the left of the silo at 1/4 way up the mountain and just a few hundred further up the temps drop 10-15 degrees in what looks like the top of a marshmallow sundae when taken a  mile back away from my place..  Cool and sad at the same time (why I rarely get ice storms).

 

I was wondering how things were on your side today.   I’ve been stuck in low clouds and fog with a high of 44 so far.   The vis sat really shows what you’re talking about.

I am not mad at you. I am still struggling to figure out how I am considered "warm" though.  :-).  I rarely will post a negative no snow for you in immediate response to someone who thinks otherwise but I sometimes post original content stating my opinion and I find blown warm forecasts or grossly warm by average periods interesting re: yesterday  we got to 41 here which was a big bust on the high side.  I love snow storms and I love sniffing out or discussing events where models are wrong...warm or cold.   I am on the west side of the South Mountain Range so we will warm here faster than people just over the hill from me like @Cashtown_Coop.  I actually keep his weather station link handy to compare.   There are still ice covered tree limbs 2 miles to my east Blue Ridge Summit. 

Same on this side of the ridge.   I took these pictures today just west of the house

Did not realize you were so young...you may be one of the younger posters here.  

Prob am.   I started my coop site when I was 26 years old.  I’m 36 now 

I was a spotter for state college going back to when I was 16.

Hands down January 1996 is my all time favorite. #2 would be March 1993 and then February 2010 with back to back storms totaling 40" which i'll probably never see that happen again. 1978 falls in there too. 

This is pretty much my list.   Except for the 78 storm ( wasn’t born yet) but the 93 and 96 storms will always rank 1 and 2 for me and what ultimately got me so interested in the weather.  Then 2010, back to back 24”+ storms within days will likely never happen again in my lifetime.

Looking over the 12z EPS, there are also signs of a system approaching from the south around the 30th that could have some winter weather potential.

 

Is winter cancel over ? Lol 

0.3” from squall at the house 

Flizzard in Fairfield 

Here are some pics from around Cashtown 

Holding at 31.   Neighbors tree took a hit.  I’m going to go out and get some pics shortly around the area.   

CAD is holding strong on this side of the ridge

Man, that sucks.  On Christmas Eve too.  

Mowing greens and changing cups isn’t on my Christmas list. 

Over the fall I removed a large tree from my front yard.  I wanted to open a spot to get a second snow measurement during north winds as the front is more sheltered.    There’s no wind with this storm, but I clearly see the difference 

M 1.7”

light snow continues

Looks like some pretty good returns over you out there. Maybe you'll make my 2.5"?  

I’m in good band now.   Flake size really increased.   
 

Fox 43 has a crew around 4 miles to my east. Shows the roads have caved lol
