JamieOber Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I just woke up from a nap and it is really snowing hard here with about an inch on the ground. The winds blowing pretty good too so the visibility is very low and everything is just plastered on the northeast facing side. Classic March snowstorm stuff. haha same here, took a nap. And wow, snowing hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jims Videos Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Just a FYI the frozen precip has made its way into the Wyoming valley--heavy sleet right now in Pittston with a TON of moisture streaming north. This will be a long treacherous night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Just got back from a drive. Front St in HBG is partially flooded out and Creekview Rd behind Wegmans is very close to closing because the creek IMO. Lots and lots of rain, the Susky is really moving. It will WMD up close to minor flood stages in Harrisburg Wednesday I'd bet. Glad you guys north are seeing snow! Down to a chilly 39.3 now.

pawatch Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I just took this picture from inside. The birds aren't liking the snow. As you can see it is snowing hard here.

clarks green snow Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Starting to really think the ice is being underplayed up here north of Scranton in the higher elevations. Sleet and moderate freezing frain with a temperature near 30. Ice is already weighing on pine branches and I have icecicles on my deck and outside lights. Ton of moisture to come and if this doesn't turn to sleet or snow before midnight - we have some problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Just measured, have about 2.5" now. Heavy snow still falling with more of the big fluffy flakes falling currently. I-99 corridor from Altoona to State College just gettin smacked. Have an eye on a potential slot working into southern Bedford on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSU8315 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Total freaking chaos here. Road closures, accidents. Insane. I was out about a half hour ago and there are several cars stuck on the hills, even on Atherton. There is a layer of slush underneath that is making it very hard to get any traction.

MAG5035 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 That just might cut it off here in a few hours unless it fills in - think it will? It probably will try filling back in a bit as it gets up into Blair and Centre counties, but if it comes up as is it'll probably slow the snowfall in 1-2 hours in the area. What i'm watching is the deform band that is going thru Cambria and Somerset and on down into WV to see if it starts fading east and helps hang the heavy stuff longer, and it looks like it has a good chance of doing so. Even if the snow were to shut off in 2 hours or a bit less, it's snowing so dang hard we're probably going to be on the high end of that advisory as it is with around 4 inches. If we can edge in that extended band we could be talking more like 5-6 inches+ in some spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jims Videos Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 NEPA is in for a messy a-m commute to say the least. It's bad outside now I just slid through two stop signs on my way back from getting my laundry. And LOLZ @ dry slot...there's like 8 hours at least of intense precip coming to NEPA.
