I-83 BLIZZARD Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 We were hammered down here. I am at 14 inches. Measured in 3 spots. Front, Deck, and Steps. We had 5 from the first wave, and 9 from the ULL. Still moderate to heavy snow falling. This picture was from earlier in the evening. Harford County MD is getting similar reports just to my immediate south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummyratguy Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Nice!! I was just looking at MD traffic conditions since my wife has to be at work in Baltimore at 7am. Just a complete disaster. Here's a link to some of the traffic cams if you like mayhem take a look at 695 @ York Rd http://www.chart.state.md.us/MapNet/MapDOTNET.aspx?Browser=IE7&ViewName=Select&Cmd=switchtheme&tab=VideoAndCamera&DoPanTo=False&Direction=&PanFactor=&DoZoomScaleFactor=&x=&y=&Encoder=×tamp=98265&x1=0&x2=0&y2=0&y1=0&gCenterLat=39.230125638383924&gCenterLon=-77.1624755859375&gZoomLvl=9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 3.25", -SN... One of these days, we'll go back to the classics. Look at that. You got more than I did. I only got 2.50". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 If you're suffering from post storm depression.... http://www.earthcam....rk/timessquare/ That will only make it worse for me. I hate to be bitter but TBH I don't think I'd be too sympathetic to the PHL-NYC crowd if we get 20" in the next big one and they get 37*F and rain.

canderson Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Measured 6" here in Harrisburg. Give or take .25" or so. That is HEAVY snow. just finished shoveling, man I'm out of shape ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in MD and I hope they shut things down. They stink at snow removal anyway. Over a foot with tens of thousands without power is really a disaster down there.

NortheastPAWx Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Wmsptwx told me only 0.8" of snow fell out in IPT...I am pretty sure they have been shafted the worst of anyone this winter. Last winter they had it pretty bad as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckyplayer8 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Looks like I'm going to walk away with about 4". Definitely 1" this morning and what I believe is another 3" but it is blowing around pretty bad. Adding to that snow pack inch by inch lol.

I'm headed out soon for final snow removal so she can get out in the am. Hopkins doesn't close, so she's gotta try to make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Timing couldnt have been worse for DC area... they got hit right at rush hour... I have a friend who works in DC who is staying at his office with some of his co-workers because he only got a half mile from the office in 3 hours so he went back I think 6" for Harrisburg is pretty accurate... thats about what I measured and that's what the airport reported in METAR code I know we all dont want to sit here and bash NWS State College... but they upgraded their forecast for Harrisburg to 6-10 from 5-7 at 10 when snow was finishing? Something has to be messed up and what they try to send out not getting out right away today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gained back what I lost due to melting and compaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexP Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 And after all that, the places that got put under the WSW at the last minute barely reached the criteria. 6.3 at the airport, but most of Dauphin, Cumberland, Perry and Lebanon counties came in at 3-5 inches.

A very tight gradient killed a large swath of Cumberland it seems like. ESP if Carlisle got 3.5" - that is sharp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they decided to release the forecast they should have put out last night and see if anyone notices. Kind of like back-dating a check.

jen2swt Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm going to say that at least 2" blew off during the wind drifts. So between 13-14" and it's still coming down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-83 BLIZZARD Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 16 inches here east/ north east of Stewartstown. Not drifts, but actual daily snow. Still steady light snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 nice pics...one of these days i will get my 15+ inches Last year and this storm have been amazing, The higher elevations in SE York County right on the MD line have been hammered (that is when we do get snow). I hope we start seeing larger scale east coast storms. Too many isolated events screwing people in MD and cent PA. Philly has been the snow magnet though.

MAG5035 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Ended up with 3.1" total here earlier this evening. The stuff was pretty much concrete and plastered to everything. I can't even imagine the places further east that has 4 times that and probably even more than that going towards NYC. The streak continues, I have not had a single snowfall hit the 4 inch mark all season. Fortunately, this month has been cold, and a good portion of what i've gotten this month remains on the ground. I have about a 9 inch snowpack I'll have to look at things, but it looked like my snowfall forecast ended up in good shape for the most part once i made that last minute adjustment in SE PA. As far as the storm evolution though..I banked on a storm that would hug the coast several days ago, and once again the low has managed to be enough offshore that it gives the I-95 corridor pretty much the ground zero weather. Fortunately for eastern PA this time the setup was good enough to allow a pounding snowfall for them as well. The ultimate coastal track this season has been really consistent with a more offshore low. If one looked at the SST departures, you'd see that for awhile the Gulf and entire east coast has been quite below average. I've been pondering about this but after this storm I'm really starting to wonder if that's having a factor on storm track. Instead of the greatest baroclinicity right near the coastline where water meets land, these lows might be finding such a thing offshore toward the Gulf stream instead. Even if that wasn't a factor, the colder SSTs certainly can't hurt the NYC's and Philly's of the world when a marginal event tempwise like this comes along.
