I wonder if this will expand a little more north in the coming days?

Found this on facebook I didn't know NWS was doing a storm survey.

Dauphin County Tornado Update 

Some followup on the tornado warned storm in Dauphin County on Wednesday. I have actually drive on the exact road in the exact rural area it struck and there's a solid chance it missed every home as it's extremely rural in Shermans Dale and Blain, PA.

The storm would have only been on the ground for a short time maybe 10-15 mins, 3-8 miles max before lifting. This may have hit a house or just tore up some woods but there was clearly evidence to suggest it was causing damage.

I clipped a photo of the debris ball with the overlay of the general area it would have been. It's all thick woods and very rural homes. I personally stayed in a cabin about 2-4 miles from the exact spot this storm happened at. I'm very curious to see what the NWS survey team determines when they conclude their investigation.

Anyway, thought this may be interesting to everyone. I'll update when I found out.

Precipitation  total for January and February 1.85

Sleet mixing with the rain here temp 40.6.

Last evenings Tornado warned storm pics taken on 81 and 322. Not the best pics I seen better ones on Facebook.

I was on 81 and 322 I got pics of the storm but will have to wait till tomorrow morning till I can post them from my computer.

If winter isn't over, the fat lady's warmup is now ramping up a few octaves.

Discouraging to see good mets in the New England forum waving the white flag now. 

Even though there's still opportunities for snow still to come for the next 40 days or so, Winter is basically on life support now. Spring is trying to takeover. And we should all welcome it after those brutal temps we all experienced for 3 months. 

Down to 28 this morning.
