JamieOber Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 34 and dumping rain here!!!! Look at it like this though, 20 days and this winter is behind us!!! Actually, it's behind us tomorrow for REAL winter (meteorological winter) Although I've just learned that based on reality and living here (ie thinking like a reasoned adult), I don't count out snow as a good possibility until mid-April, and sometimes later. Of course it's mostly gone by afternoon. This was a lesson in that: http://photo.accuweather.com/photogallery/details/photo/50983/Say+It+Aint+Snow They actually had to plow on the higher elevations around here. Note the date. I got just over an inch. That was surreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieOber Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Soaked this morning. Now storms coming this afternoon. Out of our area but this is a pretty impressive early severe outbreak for mid-South, midwest, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Out of our area but this is a pretty impressive early severe outbreak for mid-South, midwest, etc. I believe some severe and a lot of heavy rain/storms will make it across southern central pa tonight. GFS and other models keying in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I believe some severe and a lot of heavy rain/storms will make it across southern central pa tonight. GFS and other models keying in. would be nice if the warm air could surge northward, but lack of that actually happening will limit severe potential over most of central/eastern pa other than a few rumbles of thunder... the warm air is trying to move into western PA... KAFJ jumped almost 10 degrees in 20 minutes with a ssw wind developing... pretty impressive if accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Tornado watch looks like it maybe coming out for all of eastern OH to near pitt. 70's in OH. Phew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabong Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I believe some severe and a lot of heavy rain/storms will make it across southern central pa tonight. GFS and other models keying in. Doesn't look like it, at least north of the border... cooler air looks to hold tight for most of us in PA keeping us relatively stable (the exception being west of JST, where sfc temps are already >64°F with WAA). Sure, winds aloft look nice but this cool wedge is going to keep us suffering thermodynamically. Some moderate to heavy rain looks like a good bet... maybe an isolated location can squeeze out some thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I think a college buddy of mine was killed in that storm in Kansas. :/ If true, I've known 4 people now killed directly by tornadoes. Sobering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My area of threat is basically York to JST line. Making map to show my area. NAM gets MU cape to 500 around my area and LI to -2, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 dumping rain again here in Harrisburg. Had a text from a stamp licker (mailman) friend of mine who said it was thundering in the Camp Hill area. (west of HBG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easterly winds on this side of the mountains are a killer this time of year... warm air advection struggles to win out... as we are seeing today... sure temps may come up a little but nothing like far western pa/ohio around here. Should rise to maybe mid 40s and stay around that overnight for much of southeast pa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashtown_Coop Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Southern PA looks to recieve locally heavy rainfall this evening. Fulton County seems to be the hot spot this past hour. 0.90" so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 WOW that is some heavy rain traversing southern PA. I-70 under Breezewood and I-81 under the turnpike look like miserable drives. I would expect at least some flood advisories to come out of this. Doppler estimates on rainfall rates are around an inch per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 KAVP with 0.3" snow today...will finish DJF with 8.8"...man, someone get the climate data. That's got to be up there on the list of lowest met winter snowfalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 This winter sucks the big one! Thunderstorms in February?? You kidding me. And not just thunder, freaking CG's shaking the house I have never in my life seen CG's in February this far north, and LOL at 36F degrees!

PottercountyWXobserver Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Wooooooh, we got hail! Slightly smaller than pea size! yeah way to make up for a poor winter, sweet. If I could compare the hail, it would be about small eraser on a pencil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could compare the hail, it would be about small eraser on a pencil. I can take a little solace in the fact I got to see Cantore live shot style lightning strike during the epic snow squalls that moved into Seven Springs last Friday right about when we were leaving. I hadn't seen a good thunder snow...storm in the past several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't seen a good thunder snow...storm in the past several years. I can imagine, when I lived in Erie for a brief time, I remember some incredible LE lightning off the lake. I just had some powerful CG's just now again. I honestly have never seen it like this so early and so far north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Can we all agree to officially cancel Winter 2011-2012?
