Now with this sleet on top of the snow will it drift when winds pick up tomorrow? I seen wet snow drift after  the winds dried it out.

That sleet on top of that snow made it heavy to shovel.

Dare I say… best rate & flake size now in Marysville!

Same here as well!

Mostly snow here with some sleet. Almost 9" accumulation so far today.

6.75" snow so far.

Hopefully the sleet stays away.

Where are they hosting this?

 

I think on Facebook, thats where I got the post.

US National Weather Service State College PA's

We plan to go live at 9 AM to provide a brief update on today's significant winter storm. Check back here at 9 if you're interested!

I'm wondering just how far north the sleet will make it in The Susquehanna Valley?

We need this for the drought

Current dew point st MDT is -7

Impressive air mass that should help us.

My dp is -0.6

We're probably less than 12 hours from the onset of our first major snowstorm in years. I hope you all enjoy no matter the outcome 

Bernie Rayno said this morning that he thinks the sleet will have a tough time making inroads on these negative dewpoints. But he said he's been wrong and right before on similar situations. That's his personal opinion.

Nws introduced snow possibly mixed with sleet tomorrow in my forecast for tomorrow evening from 6to10pm

That sucks you have to deal with that summer heat and humidity. Come back home to reality where it's 14 here.

The last GFS lost the weekend blizzard in its entirety lol 

Sometimes the GFS gets lost. Remember just a few days ago where it has the storm. I guess we'll see if the models come around.

2.5 was my low.

Might not break 20 degrees for the next 8 days 

This is gonna be brutal. After years of relative so called mild winters, this is gonna sting.

Some of the roads we use on our routes are going to be problematic if that occurs. PA895 west of New Ringgold has a deep cut and will probably blow shut if Pendot doesn't stay on top of things. The road to our one well (the "well in the woods" that I show in my videos) traverses an open field that is township maintained and will probably blow shut as well. It may not be until Wednesday that we won't have major problems to deal with.

It's been a while since we had a deep snowcover and 30mph winds to deal with. Rural areas like where I live will not be on a priority list of being kept clear. As crews will be focused on main arteries.

From what I seen it looks like blowing and drifting will be a concern after 8am on Monday into Tuesday morning with 30 mph gusts.

24 JAN 2026 @ 6:45 AM EST: Arctic air has returned to the region and will set the stage for frozen precipitation to fall with the approaching storm.

I know this week on tv somebody was worried about the strain on the power grid with these brutal temps this coming week. But hadn't heard anything since.

I think Pa is largely safe, but south of M/D where IP is involved, yeah thats a scary concern because of temps that follow.

 

Especially if it's a random tree that decides to fall at the worst possible time in a remote rural area that repair crews will have trouble getting to
