Was a bit of a disappointment down here too, blowing around a bit but looks like around 5" after a forecast of 8-12 Still a fun one to track, grateful for a nice event in my first winter here! Hopefully we can all cash in a couple more times this winter!

Woke up to light snow underway in Chalreston, coating on all surfaces

My first winter in Illinois. Looking pretty dang good for this one down here. This is normal, right?

Yeah similar story here... told the wife the snow was done after we went to sleet/rain around 9AM... then it changed back to heavy snow for a while longer... there goes my met credibility Wishing I would've made the predawn drive up to Blue Knob now.... was tempting to still try it after I saw they opened the whole mountain but I imagine it's still gonna get pretty wet and nasty up there very soon.

Wow surprised you're still holding on and impressive totals! Seems like some rain mixing in with some lighter rates here now. But that was a fun one. Heavier snow this morning than I saw anytime on Saturday. Eyeballing about 3" imby

Fun AFD from CTP this morning .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Yesterday`s signal for a front end snow thump has materialized with areas from the Laurels through the WC and C Mountains having seen a quick 2 to 5 inch accumulation this morning. Dramatic snowfall rates and reflectivities have accompanied the heavy snow, with some of the largest aggregates I`ve seen occasionally tripping DP hydrometeor hail classifiction. The warm air is on the move and messy mix to to sleet and rain is occurring from south to north, slowest over the Laurel Highlands and WC Mountains. Here at Innovation Park southeast of campus, we have repeatedly gone from heavy snow to mixed sleet and rain and back again several times. Strong forcing will keep this back and forth transition going through midday, with additional coatings of high SLR slush across the central and south. Best additional snow accumulations will be north of I-80 with again a general 2 to 5 inches expected before the warm air wins by late afternoon. 9:15 AM: 4.3 inches measured at Penn State Altoona and a 5.4" from our Glencoe observer from this morning`s burst of heavy snowfall. Transition to sleet and rain occurring central and south with minimal additional snow accumulations south of I-80, but we`ll see similar 2 to 4 inch amounts up to parts of McKean and Potter through the midday hours. No additional updates at this time. 805 AM: Doubled snow amounts into the central mountains as 1.5-2" per hour rates are lifting across the area. KCCX WSR-88D sampling of aggregates bumped hydrometeor classification into hail, a first that I`ve seen. In the bizarre category, a large flock of starlings simultaneously flew over our office at Innovation Park (between State College and UNV). Very possible that this large biological target was being sampled along with the heavy snow. A general 2 to 5" range is now being mentioned for the Winter Weather Advisory, which we`ve expanded to include Elk, Cameron, Potter, McKean and Clinton Counties

Like that Euro! Precip beginning as snow flurries in State College. Lets get this winter going!

Great to still see you posting! I remember many of your posts from EUSWX during those years you lived here. Really seems like this might finally be the big one for us....I've finally given in to full-on hype and excitement. Those last two EURO runs are probably the best I've seen in 20 years of tracking them. Nice to see the last minute trends breaking in our favor for once. Hope Gail can find a way to exceed expectations for everyone in this forum!

Wow... thought that had to be a Kuchera ratio map at first glance. Simply one of the prettiest I've ever seen at this time frame. Getting excited!

Like the looks of that one.... we're tired of being fringed back here!

After an entire winter season last year without a single event even worth posting about it's great to be back. Wonderful early season "Jebwalk" through the snow showers at Shingletown Gap yesterday. Thanks as always for the insight on the upcoming storm MAG. Crossing fingers that a chance at accumulation this weekend can materialize!
