5" for the total for the storm, just missed the heavier stuff to the east. Galeton had a report of 11" which is only 30 miles to the east of me :arrowhead: . I see places to the south of me did well, congrats! Now we just play the waiting game for the rain event coming up. Hopefully we can see at least 1 more snow event before the spring weather comes bargin in.

I finished with 4.8" here, which fell in about 3 hours.

1.6"/hr and thundersnow. Best 3 hours of the winter.

The cmc is insane. 150MM +

That's about 6.00" QPF. You sure you're looking at/adding up things right?

Geesh cut-off low much? That actually looks like a situation where the storm manufactures enough of its own cold to have an area of snowfall south of that firehose of moisture off the ocean especially in the central/southern apps.

Hope you get better soon btw.

Thanks Mag. Ya if the euro holds tonight I think this solution hold merit. Either way major flooding coming. Hopefully I get out of here in time to go see it. Conococheague creek is near my house. Makes for good pictures,

WOW man the CMC is crazy tonight....if that solution somehow isn't completely bunk...it will be ugly to say the least. Any word on the Euro guys?

European doesn't appear to have 6 inches like the Canadian does for us, but it still has a butt load of QPF.. a sampling of AOO, UNV, MDT, and IPT all had pretty much in between the 2-3" range. Is debateable in some frames about p-type at the front and back of the storm.. primarily in UNV and AOO. A lot of rain nonetheless.

Pretty ominous forecast for my location per State College. Some really heavy qpf for the headwaters of the Schuylkill River here, as well as the Susquehanna and Delaware elsewhere if forecasts like this verify.

Wednesday Night: Rain and snow, becoming all rain after 1am. Low around 35. East wind between 13 and 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

Thursday: Rain. The rain could be heavy at times. High near 48. Southeast wind between 11 and 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.

Thursday Night: Rain. Low around 35. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.
