CranberryWX Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Wow, heavy rain rates here the past hour...just about to push me over an inch for the day...currently 0.97" I'm heading up to our camp in Potter Co, PA tomorrow morning. It was a planned get away a long time ago, but has turned into a snow chase. It is on the border line of heavy wet snow and mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 So you're arguing the wind direction didn't have an impact? Biggest factors for Isabel: antecedent very wet summer and the periods of high sustained winds. For most of the immediate metro area, the peak gusts in Isabel did not exceed 60 mph. But, the sustained winds in two periods (from 4:30 pm to about 6 pm, and then from 10 pm until 1 am) were over 40 mph for the area. Those were long periods of sustained high winds, something our area doesn't see much, if ever. Couple that with the soggy soil, and it was crippling to every utilities' power grid.

CranberryWX Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 What wind?....I expected the wind gusts to wake me up during the night, but nope. Highest wind recorded by my station was 5 mph at 12:59AM. Dead calm right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendaM Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm with you--no wind, very little rain....just crazy fog here in SE PA (right above Harford County, MD). What wind?....I expected the wind gusts to wake me up during the night, but nope. Highest wind recorded by my station was 5 mph at 12:59AM. Dead calm right now.

Ellinwood Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Nice wedge of stable air in place over the region this morning... should get eroded during the late morning hours as the cold front approaches. Still looking at some possible convection late morning west and early afternoon east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a planned get away a long time ago, but has turned into a snow chase. It is on the border line of heavy wet snow and mix. Ahhh, Potter County cabins. My college roomate's family had one, and he, myself and the rest of the college roomies made some great memories there on several trips in school back in the late 80s. Beautiful area that always got GREAT snow totals -- we often SLID to a stop in front of the cabin in the piece o' crap VW bus that we always caravanned in. BTW, currently 46 degrees, moderate rain, zero wind here in Hayfield Farm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Will conditions anywhere in the area warrant any chasing on your part today? Not going to chase today... 2% TOR risk seems to be more of a precaution than genuine risk. Stuff will be moving too fast, anyway, and I don't get out of work until after 11am so the timing is off as well. There shouldn't be anything to chase today.
