NortheastPAWx Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 nws bing going with 9 inches in wilkes-barre on the latest map on their website. I dont think wilkes-barre will see more than 4. 9" may be out of the question down there, but 4-7" I think would be reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgir Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 In the hills of the northern Lehigh Valley @ 700' ... expecting about 2" from this event. This winter season, the largest snowfall here was 4.5". The yearly total is 37". Still 5" short of normal. Wee bit of a snow hole itby this year, as far as a large snowfall from an individual storm. Overall, this season seemed to be a windy cold winter. The memorable part was the lack of a warm up, or January thaw. The next few weeks may bring a couple surprises, as a stormy chilly pattern has set up .. The elevations usually get more action this time of year. Monday morning was a bit of a surprise with 1.7" here. That groundhog went back into the hole, after he popped up six weeks ago ... that little stinker . Ya'll up in the POCS look sweet with this event. I wouldn't be surprised if the winner gets 8 to 11" of the wet white type. Stay safe to all of our local weather enthusiasts.

Somewhat encouraging that it didnt begin as rain 37F I am expecting somewhere between 1 and 2" of clumpy ice junk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptb127 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 nws bing going with 9 inches in wilkes-barre on the latest map on their website. I dont think wilkes-barre will see more than 4. Bing going with 8.9" here.. I am thinking more on the line of 3-7" but the 0z GFS has 1.25-1.50 of QPF right over NE PA, all of us. Could be a bigger storm then I think right now.

He's at 1700', no reason not to be more aggressive up there. Big difference between his location and Wilkes Barre. EDIT: Radar is looking very good for the Southern Poconos and NNJ.

ptb127 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 only got about 3.5" here at my house and it's hard to measure bc of rain and sleet that packed it down some. Pretty big bust of the models and the NWS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty big bust of the models and the NWS. Friend of mine in northern Passaic whom I told 2-4 with perhaps 6 if everything went "right" only had a coating so far. We'll just have to see what the Ohio Valley convection can do later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jims Videos Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I dont know what was falling when I left work but it was either small hail or large sleet. It was not clear like sleet but had a pearlish look, the size of small peas. And it hurt! there was some small convection that moved over NEPA around 5:30 pm and that's where it came from.
