I don't think one single forecast called for snow here today. I wonder what's going on. I did notice when I went to bed last night that we had already fallen below our expected low temp. Any real mets on here want to comment on what's happening? My brother asked me why this was the current forecast: Today: Rain, mainly before 5pm. High near 44. South wind 9 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

Not to mention the fact that it's February in Pennsylvania, so you, snow if always possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
var126 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Heavy snow in Lewisburg. Emergency equipment at an accident across the bridge. Friends want to know why I didn't warn them. Just another typical wintry day in Snowhole PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your opinion, is this a case where the local TV mets are kicking themselves for not catching something they should have seen coming, or is this just one of those things that happens sometimes. ABC 27 was posting pictures of snow in Chambersburg two hours ago while still insisting that a chainge to rain was imminent for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 To me it seems this winter that a lot of the models have had a warmer bias. And we have ended up getting more snow than predicted with some of these storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABC 27 was posting pictures of snow in Chambersburg two hours ago while still insisting that a chainge to rain was imminent for everyone. I'm not kicking myself. We called for a wintry mix in the second half of the morning commute changing to plain rain showers by afternoon for a couple of days now. What was surprising, was the rates at which it came down. That really dragged down some colder air and thus heavy snow broke out. It's also true that it was perfect timing to have an efficient radiationally cooled column of air before the clouds came in last night/early this morning. That also dries out the column and thus the wet-bulb differential is greater....allowing for cooler temperatures once the column saturates. I am surprised to see over an inch in Cashtown (thanks cashtown_coop!) as that was not expected, but elevation played an important role in this one. Hardly a dusting here south of route 30 in York/Lanc counties eastward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel Highlands Wx Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 A little over an inch here. CTP still calling for 41 and rain likely. I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
