Amped Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Well don't forget not to focus on the higher amounts in ranges...that's why we have them. The actual band that sets up may be rather narrow which is what the NAM may be indicating. Lots of things going on with the combo of upslope snow too. Throw all that together and someone could get whacked where it comes together, but it's not an easy forecast. It's pretty easy to forcast the Allehgheny Platue running down from SW PA through MD and WV. They get clobbered no matter what. Elsewhere everything has to be perfect.

Billabong Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Slushy raindrops here in state college. At 2000 feet on Tussey, there is a mix of all snow and sleet. Strong dusting on all surfaces, including roads. 32F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 That is a disaster for everyone, even in NYC. Weaker system means less dynamic cooling, which equals mixing issues and staying all rain possibly. It actually gives us a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Winds are howling here and moderate rain continues. Down to 41.2 degrees. Winds sound higher than at any time during all of winter! lol Wind chill down around freezing. Feels uuuuuuuhhhhhhgly outside. Precip since midnight = 0.70. Yesterday's total was 1.38" giving 2-day total of 2.08". Always fun to watch radar echoes moving west or northwestward. I feel like I'm playing the loop backwards.

cfbaggett Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 About 1/4" of slop on my car here in Boalsburg... the precip is completely in the mixed phase... no rain drops, no snow flakes, just melting flakes, and tons of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormspotterlive Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Latest HRRR has moderate banding for all of I99 corridor tomorrow morning. Additionally it has a wide range of snow fall totals with much more to go anywhere from coating -2 at lower elevations to 4-8 inches in the higher elevations.

Strong dusting on all surfaces, including roads. 32F. Yea i can pick the Tussey ridge right out on the radar in that above image i posted, along with the Allegheny front and a couple other ridges that are close proximity to the CCX radar. I would imagine the high points of Tussey are going to get warning amounts if the Centre region stays in the good precip for the duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Seeing a bit more legit flakeage here (approx 1200'), we're probably a precip enhancement away from getting decent snow down to I-99. And radar starting to show a bit of that occuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Good luck dude. Hope the ground whitens there. Not so gung-ho on accum? Definitely some snow starting to mix with the rain out here on campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckyplayer8 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Winds have quieted down now compared to the past 4 hours. We were sustained mid 20's with a top gust of 38 mph. Now we are simply light and variable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll see some. It's tough to say how much will fall since it will depend on intensity. I'm not very bullish for UNV, but they'll see some.

PottercountyWXobserver Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Nada yet, but the temp is slowly droping still. I'm waiting for the heavy stuff just to my east to roll through, hopefully that does the trick and really cools the column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfbaggett Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Nearly all snow here in Boalsburg... very wet. Ground is turning white... about 0.3" on the car. Very translucent... like see-through concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 My guess is maybe an inch or two for State college proper. More if they can get into a good band tomorrow, but think it may be just west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billabong Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 As of about 30 minutes ago, 0.75" on Tussey (pic attached)... was accumulating quickly so i'm sure they're already over an inch by now. It has since turned over to big ole' fat flakes.... I guess the column cooled enough to get rid of the sleet. At least a dusting (on roads and grass) down to around 1400 feet.

CoraopolisWx Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Checked the hwy cams, and Cresson Summit looks pretty well covered on the grass, so the road will follow quickly. Dishong is also starting to whiten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is, back in October, Hartford Ct ( Bradley ) which sits at a measly 160 ft asl, got 12" of snow with temps aroud 34 F. Hopefully you should do ok once this storm really intensifies.
