Today we ventured into Austria, to theLake District south if Salzburg. It was snowing when we left Munich and never stopped (still going). They have prob 3 feet of snow in the Austrian Alps already and are wayyyyyy ahead ossnow schedule. It got up toabalmy 27 and headed to 11 back here inMunich. Tomorrow afternoon we train it to Nutrmberg fir 3 days where - you guessed it - snows predicted each day. If you guys miss snow, get to Germany. They are in sweet spit.

Yeah, looks wet. Flood watches up. Any thoughts on the possible period of snow to end the precipitation? Currently: 43° here after a low of 19° this morning.

Currently: 43° here after a low of 19° this morning. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the higher elevations along Route 219 pick up a quick inch as the precip ends, but the boundary layer should be too warm farther east to allow much, if any snow to fall. The GFS continues to insist that 2-4" of snow will fall on the back end all the way down to I-99, but every other model moves the cold air in much slower, which I tend to agree with.

Yeah, that seems to be common with rain-->snow-->precip cutoff events...too little too late for much. I'll be happy to see some flakes to be honest.

PottercountyWXobserver Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Some of the QPF amounts showing up are in the 3-4" range, hopefully we don't get those types of rains, after that recent bout of rain a couple a weeks ago really moistened the ground up fairly well. Rain amounts of 5"! were even showing up on the NWS QPF amounts. I agree with you guys, I just don't see much wrap around snow, maybe high elevations of 1500-2500' range? possible pick up 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001kx Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 nice that clearfield is the jackpot in rain but it never seems to happen with the big snowstorms. i need a big snowstorm this year (18 inches or more) could you imagine these totals as snow 40-60 inches. The NWS in state college pa has issued a Flood warning for urban areas and small streams in, mckean county, clearfield county, cameron county, potter county, elk county, northwestern clinton county, Until 515 am est, At 1120 pm est national weather service doppler radar indicated a large area of heavy rain continuing to spread northeast across the warned area. Rainfall amounts have averaged between 2.5 and 3.5 inches in most places. The heaviest rain so far has fallen across the higher terrain of northern and western clearfield county where nearly 4 inches was estimated by doppler radar. Additional heavy rain of 1 to 2 inches overnight will lead to flooding along numerous streams and creeks, and cause flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas in cities and towns. Some locations that may experience flooding include, lewis run, mount jewett, norwich, port allegany, lumber city, penfield, clearfield, emporium, ridgway, brandy camp, oswayo, and coudersport. Precautionary/preparedness actions, Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of floods and flash floods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001kx Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 And the scary part is, the radar is still showing a lot of heavy rain to our south and west that still has yet to move through... i just drove downtown to check out the Susquehanna river but its not all that impressive yet. by morning it may be more impressive.

PSU8315 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 i just drove downtown to check out the Susquehanna river but its not all that impressive yet. by morning it may be more impressive. Once the swollen streams and creeks drain into the Susquehanna, it will shoot up. NWS has a current stage of 9.8 feet at Lock Haven now, but cresting at 22.5 feet by Thursday morning. So by this time tomorrow night, it may look a little more menacing out your way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 About 1 3/4" here in Maytown when I left for work around 5:30 this morning. Light rain here at work right now. Seems that most of the heaviest rain is north/northwest of here for now. Radar to the south suggests some heavier periods of rain still coming, but not to the magnitude of what our Central PA folks saw last night. Wind was howling at the southeast overnight, though. My high wind checklist went as follows: Christmas lights: Hanging low (Check) Recycling bin: Gone (Check) At least one scared kid who came running into our room overnight: 2 (Check) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 What a mess here this morning. Locally around the Bellwood/Antis Township area (Blair County) all the usual suspects are pretty well flooded over. Unfortunately, I don't have very much to share outside of the road to my house since my truck had a bit of a major mechanical failure last night. Here's one end of our road (the other end is flooded too). I don't know why my phone won't transfer over a picture that is actually upright. Otherwise, precip has begun to changeover here with it now being a wind driven sleet. I guess if it isn't gonna end, it might as well be something else. *Update: In the time it took to try to fix my picture, theres now some flakes mixing in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grounds got a nice coating and the road by the house is even starting to cover up. So in addition to it being flooded on both ends, its now getting snow on it. What a morning.

Not sure if it's new this year, but the Winter Road Conditions checkmark on 511pa looks pretty handy -- shows the road conditions even where there aren't any cameras. Right now, it's showing where Route 219 goes from wet to where it has some snow/slush on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
