Scummyratguy Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 York has been stubbornly warm, but as we go to wetbulb and advect in some colder air from upstream ene - where it is in the mid 20s- i see this situation being very bad for everybody north of md line.... like worst case bad. I think you guys to the north are really going to see it get dicey, and you'll also be slower to warm tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I have been lurking on the boards for a while, but this is my first official post. I enjoy the broad state forecasting views. Being a BEA/PSU grad and seeing posts from certain areas brings somewhat of a homesick familiarity to the posts. A very fine drizzle has begun in Red Lion. Hard to tell what the actually precip is. Stepped outside, because the precip is practically impossible to see through the fog, and you can hear a minute clicking on the current snow. It appears to be mixed at the moment. Temps up to 28.2 according to my weather bug, up from 27.8 about 30 minutes ago. I am still trying to determine what this storm has in store for us in SC PA. It could be interesting.

MAG5035 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Penn State University Park students are NOT HAPPY http://www.facebook.com/pennstate http://collegian.psu...on_storify.aspx haha oh my. Yea, the air temps probably aren't helping matters either with keeping all those sidewalks clear. We salted our sidewalk this morning and it refroze when the precip returned earlier this evening. Speaking from personal experience of PSU-Altoona being closed while having a regular day and commuting up to UP my last few years when i went to class up there I'd be really surprised if this made them shut down. So students will probably have to either be really careful or choose not to go to class in the morning. I suppose it could be worse for students... It could be State Patty's day weekend.

CarlislePaWx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 You can add me to the 50's list....51 to be exact. Nice to see a few others in my age range. I am trying to figure out why everyone doesn't post their birthdate in their profile? It seems like no one wants to post that info! As for my wx interests, they began in my early teens which was the early 1970's! My best friend at the end of high school went on to SUNY Oswego and got his met degree and then joined the NWS. He worked his way up the ladder very quickly and by the time he was 35 he was the MIC (Meteorologist-in-Charge) out in North Platte, Nebraska. In 2002 he was offered the Blacksburg, VA MIC position which he accepted. So he has held that position for nearly 9 years now. We are both on I-81 and only 300 miles apart. While I knew I loved the weather I also knew I could never pursue it because my math skills ended abruptly as I began to take trigonometry and one month into it dropped it. So, I took up my father's career, that of an Optometrist. This May will mark my 25th anniversary of graduating from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in Philly. There are two other eye docs that I know of on this board...Weathafella and Winterymix! There's lots of other wx stuff I will hold off on sharing until another day. Meanwhile, steady light freezing rain has begun and my temperature is fluctuating between 29.6 and 29.9 degrees. More to come... ---Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, worst comes to worst I work from home tomorrow. But I have seen a few instances where a delay should have happened. lol at State Patty's Day....if something like this happens then, you have tons of serious injuries.

jm1220 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Penn State University Park students are NOT HAPPY http://www.facebook.com/pennstate http://collegian.psu...on_storify.aspx I wouldn't go unless I had a major exam. Just not worth it. I've tried to head up the hillsides numerous times after freezing rain or even flash frozen rain and it's beaten me almost every time.

PennMan Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Lots of sleet here now north of State College. Coated the parking lot after a tenth or so of glaze. If we can hold on to sleet for several hours we can avoid disastrous ice accumulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Btw....I'm 21, and a senior in education at Lock Haven University. Question for the mets, do you guys have an idea where you think the most significant ice will fall? NWS State College's new ice graphic is a good stab I think with the axis of heaviest ice... With Altoona and State College leading the way with pretty much a whopping 0.7" of ice. They really ramped up ice totals in the northern tier since the warm air near the 850 level has seemed to have more of a free run at the New York border than originally anticipated. This is likely due to the storm ending up being deeper and further NW. Up in Williamsport and/or Lock Haven, and that whole northern region up there should see more sleet mixing in than places further south as the precip gets established and cools the column a bit, hence lower ice totals. But 0.4-0.5 is still a lot of ice... just gonna be ugly. Hopefully we get the Sat event in here and cover up this mess. Also starting to get concerned about the wind potential once this storm lifts out too. Usually with these ice events the warm sector between the back edge of the precip and the cold front mixes down the warm air aloft with some increased winds and helps melt alot of ice off the trees. However, some places might get above freezing for only a few hours before the temps crash in the afternoon with some high winds coming behind the front. If we end up with these high totals of ice and can't get alot of it off the trees there's going to be some tree and powerline issues for sure.
