afvet89 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 We ended up with 9.6" here on the mountain south of IPT...NWS forecast...3-5". NEVER updated to a Warning....severe travel disruptions, I couldn't even make it up the hill in a subaru to go to class...sitting out for the day lol. I havent measured outside yet but it there is alot of snow out there. Biggest snow by far in a long while here. The liquid amount of precip was .66 at IPT airport. I agree the NWS blew this one bad, well, they should have at least put us in a WSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 A guy doesn't log in for 12 hours and look what I've missed! First, congrats to you guys up north. Very nice "surprise" storm you all got - so awesome to see! Second, just reading comments here and seeing the maps I'd say MDT easily sees 3" and may top 5". Not bad, not bad ... especially since it was 68 degrees three days ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 FWIW, GFS fell in line with the EURO for the end of the week. Rain for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Maybe I should up my 3-6 inches then for York? i think you have a better chance on the higher end closer to the mason-dixon line.i would think 5-7 for york too ......but don't listen to me lol. listen to the smarter guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wow we ended up with 10.5" for the storm. From 4-6AM there was hardly any accumulations, the storm was basically over, only picked up another .4" during this period. We still have managed to avoid that elusive 12" mark for storms but I'm not complaining, that was the biggest storm of the year by far this winter! The biggest storm before that one was 4.4" and that was back on December 2nd . Now its my wx friends to the south that need to get in the action! Hopefully wave 2 hammers you guys.

Jmister Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Here is a look at the 12z NAM simulated radar for 16z compared with the actual radar at 16z (11am): Sim: sim.bmp Observed: obs.bmp The NAM is clearly underplaying the precip occurring across Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Also, the actual precip is significantly further north than depicted. I think that may be something to watch over the next several hours, as this will be crucial as to where the northern cutoff situates itself.

I think that may be something to watch over the next several hours, as this will be crucial as to where the northern cutoff situates itself. The nam is definitely playing the cold, dry air card for northern/eastern sections. Temp is down to 17 at BFD with a strong NE wind. This may end up being a snow eater east of the mtns later tonight.

JamieOber Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 FWIW, GFS fell in line with the EURO for the end of the week. Rain for most. UNV is right at freezing at the surface with 850s at or below below freezing for .47 of it. Roughly same with AVP. Very close for precip types and not even close to as warm as the Euro.

Festus Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Upgraded to Warnings now for the Mason Dixon bordering Maryland Counties. A little surprised to not see any Advisories bordering the Watch counties. Usually that's typical as the totals trail off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
