WmsptWx Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Closing in on 9!! Can we make it double digits lol. Doubt it but great storm can't complain about anything. Folks, he called "bust" at 1:00 PM. He deserves his blanket party... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I measured outside my dorm, at 7.5 inches right now Wow. You guys should make it to 8" then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiier04 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Nice blow-up of precip just east of Pittsburgh but it looks to escape NE. Looks just as good to our SW, growing too. Most impressive backfilling I can remember seeing from a storm here ever... would be interested in some opinions from the Mets here as to why this is happening. Even the RUC runs this evening weren't showing more than .05 qpf after 7PM. Turns out we might hit 8" after all!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Just measured and I'm up to 5.25". Still snow, but it's a "noisy", almost graupel-like snow now, so mixing must be close. Temp still slowly falling though. Down to 20 degrees now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Snow pack back up to 5.5" Been snow cover for 6 days now. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I measured outside my dorm, at 7.5 inches right now Only 5.9" on top of my car. You sure you're not including the stuff that was on the ground before this storm? Still, looks like we have enough in line to get us above 6", and maybe even above 7".

clarks green snow Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 6.5" here and probably will see at least another 2" with the radar to the southwest. BGM has sleet mixing in after 11PM and freezing rain after 2AM. 15 degrees currently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Only 5.9" on top of my car. You sure you're not including the stuff that was on the ground before this storm?

Voyager Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 The changeover has begun in Tamaqua. Hearing the dreaded "ping" on the outside window awnings. As it stands 5.25" of true snow has fallen during the storm. I now cleared my measuring area to see how much sleet/mixed falls. I also have an uncleaned area for the new 24 measurement rules. We'll see how we finish up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Rain now, either 32 or 33 but it's definitely above freezing. The snow came quickly, nearly all of it from 3-6 pm. Got 3.5" which was close to what I expected. Although the snow underperformed a bit compared to what CTP called for (which I suspected was too high anyways), it wasn't bad and I have no complaints.... still a real snowstorm in my book. To get 3 snowstorms in a week, each with 3-6", is pretty incredible for any place outside the mountains or LES snowbelts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 I think we're about done. Any decent precip is sliding to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Well, the arctic air continues to ever-so-slowly bleed southward. Voyager is down to 20. I'm 25.3 degrees with a pretty good NE wind. Zack (from HGR) is at 32. Pretty safe to say right here the storm will not end as plain rain. In fact, I really have had practically no freezing rain so far. It's just been plenty of sleet. I can still stick my finger down into the snow and there is no resistance. To add it all up, the winter weather during the past 6 days produced 1.7" of snow last Sunday; 0.2" + .15" of freezing rain last Tuesday; 3.5" of snow today; approx. 0.2" of sleet. All before the middle of the month! Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinRobbie Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46GkMxRqCBo&feature=youtu.be Heard some thunder snow and got it on camera earlier this evening!

jm1220 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 A snow/sleet mix now here in State College (maybe freezing rain mixed in, too?)The 850 low going north of your latitude automatically means mixing rule strikes again. But that was a nice front end snow dump for the type of storm this is and Central PA climo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was a nice front end snow dump for the type of storm this is and Central PA climo. But not for too long. Either the precip will shut off soon, or the low will pass soon and colder temperatures aloft will move in and change whatever is left back to snow. No biggie, if anything, the crusty top just makes it a bit harder to get rid of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
