NortheastPAWx Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Already mixing with sleet, actually. I find it hard to believe we see 6" at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Any chance that map verifies MAG? I"m pessimistic about the southern half of that map, in locations like AOO and UNV and the ridge and valley region underneath Centre County. I think alot of that's banking on the second round of precip Wed Night. I think generally accumulations of up to an inch or so total might be the rule vs the widespread 1-3 inches and even 3-6 near UNV. Interestingly, the snowmap technically would likely warrant warnings for all of Clinton and southern Lycoming counties and probably advisories for an extra tier or 2 of counties southwest of the current placement. I still think IPT itself will have more of a 3-5 type event, with the warning totals in the mountains just north/northeast. Def nothing to sneeze at for late March either way. I like the actual advisory/warning placement right now. The map is def leaning on a colder and wet solution, and since IPT started off as straight up snow it may work out. I'm actually more concerned about broken QPF cutting snowfall totals than the cold air itself. We shall see how radar trends and HRRR runs pan out. Sidenote, I see UNV is down to 33.. The folks around there might start seeing some mixing when better precip arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Already mixing with sleet, actually. I find it hard to believe we see 6" at this point. The BGM map has Hazelton slated for a whopping 8.9" currently with the W-B/Scranton area a general 9-12". I wouldn't be too worried about the early mixing yet. What's your elevation?

PottercountyWXobserver Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 From 12:00-1:00AM the intensity deminished somewhat but coming down still at a fairly good clip at 0.8" a hour snowfall rate. The total on the ground at 3.1". I'm thinking we get maybe an inch more before a small break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PottercountyWXobserver Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 From 1-2AM I had a snowfall rate of 1.1" a hour. Still coming down at a great pace with huge wet snowflakes. My total just measure for the whole storm is 4.2", I'm hoping the precip shield fills back in, this has been a fantastic storm so far, surprised me thats for sure.

Itstrainingtime Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Okay... I've been pretty outspoken since mid February that winter wasn't over, we'd see more snow even down here in the southern tier counties. Any mets (or others) have any thoughts on what might happen in the day 6-7 timeframe? The pattern just seems ripe to end this year with a BANG...
