Eskimo Joe Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Now my SD channels are all gone. :/ Anyone know on DirecTV how to tell what's causing the interuption - the sky or snow on the dish? The dish actually doesn't have much on it, looks like just a coating. Anyone? I would argue the large snowflakes are just reflecting the signal. Down to 34...come on... Give it 2 hours.

EasternUSWX Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Matt so you think I-81 get cranked later? HRRR and RUC put out some impressive rates between 1-4 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 What a presentation at 500mb! The trough is starting to take on a negative tilt at a location conducive for heavy snow from I-81 S&E throughout the afternoon. Later this afternoon and evening location such at Mt. Pocono and Hazleton could get rocked as the coastal goes to town. Just superb dynamics at work. If this were December there would be FEET on the ground.

By the way, is the thinking that it will still taper off around halftime during the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master of Disaster Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Banding starting to form right over Shippensburg. It is snowing hard once again. Visibility down to .5 mile.

Mallow Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I was about to comment. By the way, is the thinking that it will still taper off around halftime during the game? The heaviest stuff will probably be gone by about 19z (3PM), but light-to-moderate snow could continue right on through 00z (8PM). Edit to add: Snow has definitely picked up here quite a bit with the latest band. It's starting to stick on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 You arent that far from me so you have got to be over 3" now. Last I measured was 2" at 10:30 so ya probably close to 3" now. Going out at 12 for pics and next measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Anything this far back west? You are right on the edge, I mean right. I don't think you will get into sustained heavy snow, save that band working up, but you should stay in precip until 3pm. And look at that frontogenesis currently over C-E PA!! Yes. Folks this is why jet dynamics are critical to east coast snowstorms in October/March. Without them, it would be 40 and light rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabong Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Snow accumulating on the roads finally just a mile west of campus... already have a nice thick costing of slush. Just in time for football traffic. Going to get messy quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 2364 already out of power in Lehigh, about 150 in Perry County (so basically everyone there ). Pretty much assured everyone here will lose power this afternoon. We have no fireplace so I've cranked the heater way up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks...and yeah it's picking up nicely (I'm probably a mile and a half N of you on the NE end of campus). Sidewalks were getting slushy 20 minutes ago.

Paweatherguy1 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Posted this in the EPA thread, and thought I would share it here. Just another example of how completely brain dead the general public can be about a potentially serious situation. Gotta love the general public. I post on a couple other boards, and I advised folks in a football forum that were talking about the storm that if they live in the areas the storm is having effect on, be prepared for a possible extended power outage. As of 739, someone I post with in the Lehigh Valley area said to me "Southeast PA won't get much snow...it's raining now and all the Snow will be north." Well, I see that literally like 45 minutes later Allentown flipped to Snow, and are now having moderate to heavy snow.... I hope people are prepared for this, because week long power outages don't seem to be out of the question at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
