EasternUSWX Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I think this will over preform wind wise. Going to get nasty. Could get a few spotty gust to 70. Going to likely get some damage reports. Two days of 20-30 gusting to 55-60 is going to take its toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Light snow now reported at Bradford. It has to be on your doorstep if not snowing already. Started just before 1130P. It is dumping right now. Radar looks fantastic, good returns. Heck I'm seeing 35-40Dbz showing up, even pecks near 50! Man I bet places in the Black forest area in Potter are crushing right now.

PottercountyWXobserver Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Incredible fat wet flakes. Temp 33.2F. I love this type of snow. It is an awesome feeling when you can look up into the sky and pretend you can dodge the individual flakes. Best kind of snow when you feel like that! Already up to .5" . Started to see what the hourly rate would be starting at 12A. It is going to be close to 1"/hr , maybe higher rates in a little bit. Unfortunately, I won't be able to take pictures tonight, my sister is away and she took my camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it is beautiful up there right now. I just measured and I have 1.2" right now. So 1.1"/hr isn't bad at all! This hour is going to beat it, it is pouring right now.

EasternUSWX Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Winter is truly done. Many warm spells coming with even severe weather possible. I think we get some storms Wednesday. Then following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Have I mentioned lately how much I really hate the wind? It's cost me hundreds upon hundreds of dollars this past year, makes it hard to sleep because of the noise, and blows trash cans and trash all over the place. The next 24 hours will suck ass.

djr5001 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Suppose to have a high of 50. Currently sitting at 38F. The rain overnight tracked further south than the models had indicated over the last several days... temps then fell overnight when they were expected to hover in the 50s or upper 40s where most of the forecast highs came from. The easterly wind today locked in the colder temperatures and moisture to keep the clouds thick. We should see a rapid warm up right before the front 10 degrees or so then right back to where it has been most of today when the winds pick up... Augusta, GA apparently had golf ball sized hail... dont think you can find much more ironic than that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Really scary stuff here. Get ready because the last few wind advisories were lame. In the last hour I have had several wind gust over 50 with branches down and windows rattling. If it holds together moving across the state.... look out!

PottercountyWXobserver Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Only 1.8" of snow last night. Can't complain, that is typical climo for storms like that. I knew we wouldn't get the 3-5" that CTP was predicting. Climo argues for 1-3" , possibly more if there is a cold source feeding into the system, and there was none.

I (sauss too I'd bet) gets downdrafts from Blue Mountain and that funnels through the river valley and picks up a lot of speed in this little microclimate here. F I hate wind.

The good news: no leaves on the trees. Sure, we still get some branches/trees down, but not nearly as many if the trees had already leafed out.

PottercountyWXobserver Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Anyone else notice the bust of QPF amounts? I saw average amounts forecasted between .75- 1" . Did anyone get that? Also noticed that the band of "heavy" precip also formed a little south of model guidence. Side note. That .07" for Shinglehouse isn't my total, that is an old measuring station that isn't accurate at all. I had .19" . My totals aren't added to the coop maps yet, I'm still concidered an unoffical coop observer, because I have to have 2years of reporting and I'm not quite there yet. Granite, these are just totals from last night, but most areas haven't recieved much rain as forecasted today. I'v only had .13" of rain so far so only .32" compared to the .75-1" QPF model forecast for this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
