irvingtwosmokes Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Its been a long while since I've seen it come down this hard. I'm kinda like DAMN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 What's your thinking on the dry slot and the storm redevelopment? At the low levels, it's clear the coastal has taken over as the primary storm. There is an impressive Cold Air Damming (CAD) signature which is amazing despite the clear lack of -NAO / +PNA. This goes to show you that widepsread snow and ice can occur in Pennsylvania even without major down stream blocking. Looking at the Sterling, VA radar over the past 40min shows increasing returns near Luray, VA. A meso-scale discussion from earlier today confirms my thinking, and although many locations will see a lull, there should definitely be a second round of snow and ice tonight. It's just down to watching the radar, observations and radar kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I do see early signs of some regeneration on PBZ radar, but things likely will slow up for a bit soon in the south at JST, AOO, and UNV. I don't think IPT will get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Winds in norther Virginia are starting to back to the west and the Sterling radar is showing some increasing coverage. Looks like the coastal is getting its act together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Winds in norther Virginia are starting to back to the west and the Sterling radar is showing some increasing coverage. Looks like the coastal is getting its act together. So the dry slot from Lancaster to Pottsville is only temporary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiier04 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hardest snow we've seen so far in State College right now. NO sleet here yet. Got about 3.5". See that back edge quickly approaching from the south... but lots of nice bands to get through until then. Hopefully it fills in and we stay in the action throughout the night!!!

MAG5035 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Snow has backed off to moderate after about an hour of just hammering down snow. Up to 4.7" Some regeneration showing up on CCX radar as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The dryslot should halt its progress and start to pivot around the new low as it develops, hopefully sooner than later. Looks like it's developing quickly, so snow should only shut off or let up for a pretty short time if it does so. Hopefully this doesn't allow too much warm air to get in and change things over-sometimes that happens when dryslots muck things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeffsvilleWx Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 currently dryslotted, temps above freezing for the first time today. 32.4 degrees, rising 1.4 degrees/hr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 So the dry slot from Lancaster to Pottsville is only temporary? That is not a true dry slot, that is just intermittent precipitation. The large gap in precipitation over Virginia is a dry slot. This is going to be an interesting few hours to watch the radar.

Yorkpa25 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 This storm looks great on radar, beautiful comma shape. I'm impressed. Well ended here with 3" , light drizzle now and 30 degrees. Still nice storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 MAG, any hopes of us turning back over to snow or is it a premature game over? I'm pretty surprised you guys have sleet issues this early, I don't even see anything on mesoanalyis that's even close to freezing at 925, 850, or 700mb (Though i'm waiting on 21z analysis). With the coastal already taking control I wouldn't get too carried away at this stage quite yet. Will just have to see if things cool enough as the coastal low deepens to change you back. Sleet is def visible on BGM radar as much lower cc's around 4400-5000ft indicate warm sliver might be between 900 and 850mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
