sauss06 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It hasn't once stopped snowing in Harrisburg. It's been light, but never stopped. If the heavier bands will be here in 2 or so hours, getting home is going to be an absolute nightmare. Hell getting HERE this morning was harrowing - some idiot in front of me took a corner going probably 20 and his car ended up bouncing off a telephone pole into a pretty large ditch on Chambers Hill Road. Thundersnow? Let's do this! (btw I third calling this storm PSUHazletonWx: Revenge) Heard that on scanner..........I heard some roads still haven't been touched from this am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 How soon, i may let some of my guys go home I see no thundersnow developing over south central PA until AFTER 6pm. Between 6pm and 2am the crux of the storm will be upon us. Hope this helps. Yeah, agreed....sorry. For those of us in "true" Central PA (geographically speaking), how's that shaping up for this region (UNV, Clearfield, IPT)? Interesting on the thundersnow - I saw reports of lightning in VA. Hi Jamie, glad to see you made the switch from Eastern to American. Between I-80 and I-76 is the real tricky part of this storm. Sometimes when the main deform band sets up, there can be a secondary band of moderate snow which mimics the length and timing of the primary. I can see such a band setting up along a line east and west from Johnstown to Altoona to For Indiantown Gap. Further north, I am sorry to say, accumulations will be meager, less than 3".

pawxworld Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Between CTP and our local news outlets in this region...many folks will not know what hit them this evening. We already had the surprise this morning with over 2" - still under an Advisory and the local news outlets are basically writing the second part of this storm off.

The Iceman Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 So how much snow could York and Lancaster be talking about here? imo an additional 4-8 inches...possibly more for lancaster depending on where the deform band sets up.

pawxworld Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 yep, i have a bad feeling the meteorologists are going to take a beating after this storm. Understood it was a difficult forecast all around but I guess I can't understand why (as in most other cases like this) they didn't leave the door open for the potential that the storm could shift west and cause more impact. CTP yesterday wrote this off as a slopfest and the media outlets here just awful pretty much wrote it off. The models were all over the place so forecasters had to know that there could be a high bust potential either way with it. But as of right now still no concerns that this storm will impact travel, roads etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
