Santa Clause Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Probably close canderson....a lot going against this too, and heavier precip never seems to want to make it east of UNV or Clearfield for great rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard92 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I am not sure why people are so anti-snow for tomorrow here. There is a reasonable support for a quick moderate burst of snow for as far south as the PA turnpike tomorrow. Temperatures at the surface will be cold enough. Moisture associated in these WAA situations typically arrive earlier than expected and a bit farther ahead of the mid level warm layer. I would not rule out some 2-4in amounts as far south and east as the THV-RDG line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I love these events. No one expects anything and they crush. Just waiting to see everyone reporting moderate/heavy snow tomorrow. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 FWIW RGEM and GGEM dump 6"+ over all of south central. Weatherbell snow maps for them is wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not rule out some 2-4in amounts as far south and east as the THV-RDG line. no doubt temps at surface will be cold enough its the warmth at cloud level that I am concerned about... precip rates won't matter if cloud level temps are too warm for great snowflake formation... maybe I am just being cautious since temp profile is currently warmer than the march 6th event for here and that didn't pan out for MDT area... have just seen NAM be too cold with WAA occuring during event before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the point and click for me tomorrow: MONDAY Snow likely in the morning...then snow...rain...sleet and freezing rain in the afternoon. Snow and sleet accumulation around an inch. Ice accumulation around a trace. Highs in the upper 30s. Southeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent. Monday Night MONDAY NIGHT Freezing rain. Rain and snow in the evening...then light rain with areas of drizzle after midnight. Little or no additional snow accumulation. Near steady temperature in the mid 30s. Southeast winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Highlands Wx Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 First Guesses: JST: 3-5 significant icing AOO: 4-7 decent icing UNV: 5-8 decent icing Clearfield: 6-9 solid glaze THV: 2-3 LNS: 2-3 MDT: 2-3 IPT: 3-6 solid icing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 PSU campus weather service just called for all rain tomorrow with a few flakes mixing in late Gonna be some surprised people on campus tomorrow... most people don't even know there's a Winter Storm Watch, they're still complaining about the 3" yesterday! Ha, I wonder what their reasoning for that is ... EDIT: It looks like this forecast was issued on Friday, not today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 HBG will be lucky to see .5" of snow. Non-event here but the zr is always worrisome. Agreed 100%. I had a trace in my garden yesterday and see no reason why this will add to my 7.8" total. I'm much more enthused to see what might happen around the 25th or so.

djr5001 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 based on my thoughts: JST 4-6 with mixing/ice AOO 3-5 with mixing/ice UNV 3-5 with mixing/ice Clearfield 3-5 with mixing/ice IPT 2-4 with mixing MDT/THV/LNS T-1 with mixing/rain AVP 2-4 Clearfield 3-6 with mixing/ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WmsptWx Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Cold air has hung on pretty tough this year and in some cases, has even nullified "torches" earlier in the winter. All "rain" posts aside, I think the trend of cold air hanging on for dear life continues to play out. Toontown, State College, Clearfield are the big winners but I think MDT could eek out an inch or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Lol cmc is supressed looking with precip. Works for me. .85" QPF in snow form . lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Works for me. .85" QPF in snow form . lol Nothing wrong with a S Central PA jackpot in my book haha. With a couple inches of snow on the ground still a 2-4" event would be pretty cool this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less precip before it gets too warm. But, you should get over 3" before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I'm thinking 5-7" generally along I-99 including UNV and AOO, maybe spots to 8"-same for areas further west including FIG/DUJ. JST generally the same deal, 4-6" I'd say before going to sleet/ZR. 4-6" also for IPT and then 2-5" south from SEG to around Harrisburg. 1-3" southeast of there. There could be more if the front end comes in heavy right away-these can sometimes bust well and the airmass looks pretty cold and dry for now. 12z models seem to be trending slightly colder, which is typical of CAD scenarios where they catch on last-minute. The Euro from yesterday was probably overdone but I could see a nice surprise in store for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 20 mm QPF as snow. I'll take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard92 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just because one event or multiple systems did not pan out for snow accumulations for a region, it has no baring on what will happen with a future storm. That reasoning has no statistical or scientific evidence to support any sort of forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 It's getting there. 4-6" should be down into at least Fulton county and 3-4" over to Carlisle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel Highlands Wx Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Map looks solid. Expand the 6-8 in Cameron county into Clearfield and Centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Euro anyone From what I read in the New England and NYC forums it's maybe a bit colder for those areas due to the primary low being further NW and the secondary tracking a bit SE of last run. It's good for you guys that the primary is so far NW, it would be a lot tougher to get much snow if it were tracking over NE Ohio or something. The warm advection doesn't look that strong until the precip is mostly done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
