MAG5035 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Interstate 80 at mile 120 currently west of the area that had major issues earlier. Eastbound still at a standstill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Blizzard-like conditions in Dauphin borough, Dauphin Countu. That snow should hit my backyard in 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 And just like that, almost a whiteout. Wind is making vis nonexistent. Mid snow mixing with mod sleet - walked out and it hurts when it hits you in the face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Wild whiteout conditions here! Roads are completely covered! Pretty spectacular out right now. I can't see a house about 150 yards away at the moment. Wind is very strong too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Ridiculously heavy sleet. According to the RR/HRRR we could get warning criteria snows in about 3 hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I don't usually rip them, but with 7.6 on the ground, I am wondering where the winter storm warning was for this. Agree with jm1220. Welp the back edge has stopped dead at the moment and actually backtracked/rebuilt a lil bit.. so guess the snow is going to continue a lil bit longer haha.

canderson Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hm sirens going off all around me? Wind just kicked up to 40 easy. Power outages galore. Nice snow and no end in the next few hours. What a beautiful night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Shield your eyes if you don't like flooding cause the NOGAPS, CMC blast us with another 2"+ rain storm Thu-Fri. Euro was bad at 12Z too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 The latest HRRR still has that crazy deform band with a quick 5"+ for the area. RR and RUC do as well. Is there any truth to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Just took my final measurement of the night. Temp has finally dropped below freezing about 15 minutes ago....down to 31.9 degrees. Snowing moderately with windy conditions. Accumulating everywhere. Up to 1.1" of snow. Looking at radar we could get at least another 1/2 inch I estimate. Radar shows western edge not in too much of a hurry to pass east of here....perhaps another 1 to 2 hours of precip?? Maybe we'll reach 2"?? I'll have my final measurements out in the morning. Have a good night all.... ---Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Def thinking that CTP probably should've taken the opportunity mid-evening to upgrade centre, southern clinton/lycoming, and probably at least a tier of those northern susquehanna valley advisories to warnings given the radar. Just an absolute pounding this storm has delivered. The Seven Mountains area of rt 322 and eastern Centre as a whole is under a sizeable region of 30+dbz which is likely 1-2"/hr stuff. Would not be surprised to see someone between there and ipt see a foot of snow at this point. NAM FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Just sent in the storm total for here - 4.6".. State College makin up ground from the last big snowfall where the heaviest stayed to the south. Seen some newer reports of 7" in the Park Forest part of State College and also in Lemont. These totals are as of 10:15p and 11:30p respectively.

Seen some newer reports of 7" in the Park Forest part of State College and also in Lemont. These totals are as of 10:15p and 11:30p respectively. I left State College around midnight and there was between about 5.5" and 6", but it was still snowing hard. The snow actually seemed to be getting fluffier - there was a lot of blowing and drifting of the snow. It's like a different world in Altoona. All of the roads and parking lots are clear -- looks like a lot less snow here in town than even just to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been a very impressive and high impacting storm with the mess on I-80 and the numerous accidents, etc that have occurred. Gotta run over to the Upstate NY thread, friend and fellow poster CNYwxguy just texted me from work and they have thundersnow up in BGM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick G Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 very heavy snow. visibilty is about 1/3 of a mile. We are close to 3 inches as well. probably had two inches in the last hour. looks like this could last another couple of hours. PSU--what part of wilkes-barre are you in? I am in Hanover across the street from the Hanover area High school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in Hanover across the street from the Hanover area High school. I'm in south Wilkes-Barre...a few blocks from Hanover Township. I'm closer to Meyers HS/W-B Memorial Stadium. If we keep this up and pull off 6", the credit goes to the short-term models...the RRs nailed this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
