MAG5035 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Are you thinking our area stays mostly snow now this weekends? CTP still has us in a "wintry mix", which I am doubting seeing as how the models have trended colder. It certainly appears at least the freezing rain threats on the shelf, though I'm not gonna write off a possible mix with sleet just yet in State College. But I haven't seen anything but all snow for UNV in todays 12z model suite so we're lookin pretty good right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Updated map. First Call I think everyone in here would take that and run! Looks pretty reasonable though based on today's turn of mood in the models It certainly appears at least the freezing rain threats on the shelf, though I'm not gonna write off a possible mix with sleet just yet in State College. But I haven't seen anything but all snow for UNV in todays 12z model suite so we're lookin pretty good right now. Ok, thanks. I wasn't surprised at their mention of sleet so much as I was at the mention of freezing rain. I'm sure they'll update their forecast grids this afternoon to reflect the models more accurately.

MAG5035 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Nice band starting to light up on Cambria/Clearfield counties..though it doesn't appear to be translating to the ground quite yet. No really notable snow in the webcams in Cambria, though in Clearfield (the town) they're showing snow is falling. EDIT: Now snowing on the Gallitzen and Cresson Summit webcams.

MAG5035 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Headlines are starting to crop up for the weekend event. Mount Holly just posted watches for a few southern Pocono's counties for 4-7" and B-more/DC just put them up in the I-68 corridor in western MD for up to 1/4" of ice. Makes me wander if CTP puts up a swath of watches near/along the I-80 corridor as the QPF and potential for good snow ratios makes a low end warning possibly achievable.

BuffaloWeather Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Check out snowband about to cross Buffalo. Lake enhanced band. Looks to be dropping 2-3 inches per hour. Would be beautiful if that parked itself over my house for a few hours! =P http://radar.weather...101111&loop=yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Is this storm going to affect Philly/NYC? Have to drive Saturday am to Manhattan from Downingtown. Most likely, Philly is still looking at a mixing type situation and NYC is in a good place to see mainly snow from this currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Most likely, Philly is still looking at a mixing type situation and NYC is in a good place to see mainly snow from this currently. A few weenie flakes falling currently. There are still patches of snow from yesterday morning, so this is the first time this winter we'll have snow falling on snow (at least for when I've been here. Tussey Mountain is barely visible so there's some better snow up that way it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTWX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Flakes have finally started here... The nam is a bit concerning for the weekend, but it's hard to go against the GFS/Euro 36 hours out. The negative trend in the nao should produce a system that resembles the global models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTWX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 By the way.... it's not nearly as warm (model wise) for next week. Monday is the only torch day, the rest are close to normal, maybe a tad above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
