Eskimo Joe Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 As per the 12z Canadian, everyone south and east of I-81 gets flooded with warm air and turns to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeffsvilleWx Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 As per the 12z Canadian, everyone south and east of I-81 gets flooded with warm air and turns to rain. Is this an outlier? Uk and gefs still look good per the Philly thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Is this an outlier? Uk and gefs still look good per the Philly thread. Perhaps, but given the lack of blocking downstream to really lock in the cold air I believe the majority of numerical guidance will shift to this solution over the next two days.

JamieOber Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I think CTP has been doing a great job this winter with snowfall products this winter. Second. Also, the people I've forwarded this to who are not weather geeks like it as well and find them very easy to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife just got back from letting our greyhound out and she said it was snowing hard in Port Matilda. Looks like a classic I99 band has set up.

Laurel Highlands Wx Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Left home with about 1.5 of powder. Roads were just starting to get bad. But once I reached Altoona barley any snow on the ground. Looks like maybe between 0.5 or 1 inch here. Hard to tell due to the wind picking up.

Laurel Highlands Wx Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 2-4 inches for the Laurels isn't too bad considering the flow is out of the west. Orographic lift ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like maybe between 0.5 or 1 inch here. Hard to tell due to the wind picking up. I just measured a little over 1.5" here total so far today after that last squall moved thru. Looks like that squall put some more on the ground just down the road in Altoona with another squall coming off the mountain. There's some nice fluff to the snow today too. Easily the best of the year ratio wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
