PennMan Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Time for a new thread guys. It's wintry...currently 12 degrees here with 8" of snow and ice in the ground. Looking good for a 1-2" refresher tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Clause Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 An inch looks possible in some areas tonight!! Expecting a dusting but on top of Saturdays awesome storm it's all a bonus!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Not expecting much in the way of accumulations tonight/tomorrow, perhaps a dusting of fresh snow. Still have spots in my backyard with 4-5", deck/driveway is clear and a spot in the corner where I have two large pine trees has grass beneath them. Nice to still have a decent snow pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Clause Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Working overtime on the PhotoShop out there in Innovation Park, I see. Hahaha. In the AFD they mentioned 20 to 1 ratios so I guess 1 to 3 is possible in Central PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiier04 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Someone needs to tell CTP we're not in the southern states... What do you mean by that? 1-3 looks good for the central tier imo, I'm confident some will squeeze 3 out of this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick G Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 just heard from my cow-orkers, areas just outside the Wyoming valley had 8 to 12 inches of snow. We had 5 inches plus ice. IT seemed like the NWS was determined to not hoist a warning in our area. In my experience, people take a warning to heart where an advisory is ignored. Looking for the 2 + tonight and maybe a day off from work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 :o CTP AFTERNOON DISCO The quantitative precipitation forecast will still be limited by the fast movement of the system andthe dryness of the northern stream in general. There will likely be someareas that pick up 3-4 inches of snow...especially across TheLaurels...and more so across the middle and lower susq valley andpoints east where a quickly developing secondary surface low just south ofNYC and a belt of moderately deep/strong uvvel will enhanceconvergence along a slow-moving inverted trough. This scenario and anticipated snowfall amounts place US right on theteetering Point of issuing a Winter Weather Advisory for latertonight into Tuesday morning. We/ll be discussing this issue withneighboring weather forecast offices over the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Very bullish disco by State College. Lets see how it plays out. Clippers can sometimes overperform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 This is taking a perfect track for someone in PA... we wont get the higher qpf that the coastal areas will but will get better ratios...and someone along the meso band that sets up along that trough convergence zone will probably get a nice surprise...but its very hard to predict the exact location of that. It usually ends up being a relatively narrow area like 30 miles wide that gets 3-5" and everyone else gets a general 1-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I can't post the link on my phone, but Eric Horst has most of CPA in a 1"-3" range for the clipper, with those of us south of the pike at a coating to 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got about 6 inches if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 When i was in State College in 2003 it happened...we got about 5" from a clipper from crazy ratios. Also happened in MD one time...I think I got 4" that time. Its a nice surprise but hard to predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
