Wth is this falling? Maybe graupel? Looks like little white nerd candy. you may be optimistic at 10 but I haven't seen any afternoon guidance so sure!?

Snow pellets

God I hate virga!!!:gun_bandana::thumbsdown:

Use WGAL radar here, it's not virga, the precip shield just hasn't reached us yet. Keep in mind that State College and Sterling radar ''see'' the precip higher up over York and Lancaster counties. WGAL is the ground truth.

Looks like the initial gradient is setting up in a line going WNW to ESE such that Altoona sees heavy snow and State College gets nothing for a few hours. Any observations out of Altoona? Curious to see how heavy the snow is there.

Good closeup radar centered around State College:

Yea its snowing hard down here. i just came back from a trip to Altoona to do a couple things. Then I came on and looked at the radar and was really surprised the gradient that set up between there and State College. It's workin on it though, and snow should get goin soon.

I have 1.25" of snow already. It needs to hit more than 3.7" for it to become the #1 snowfall of the season :lol:

Looks like it's eating into the dry air, nice.

In other BIG WEATHER NEWS, why doncha go over and take a gander at the main weather board and see who just left AccuWx.....

Wow. I am extremely shocked to hear that. Have to wonder what his reasoning was into deciding to leave. He has been there over 30 years, it's hard to imagine him up and moving to another weather venture.

This is fascinating to watch, or extremely maddening depending on what side of the edge of the snow shield your on. You can see the dry, cold northeast flow in the scattered echoes up north in the radar hole and its muscling the leading edge of the snow attm to a stalemate in far southern Centre. Looks like Jamie should be startin to see flakes. State College should finally get in on this within the next hour.
