Actually snowing pretty good right now!! If we get 3 inches and the wind picks up I will be a happy dude.

 

There's a nice area of heavier snow blossoming over your head right now, if your around 2 inches now I think you'll be good for your forecasted 4-6 before this ends. Deformation snows remain pretty solid in western PA and eastern Ohio via the Pittsburgh radar, so you'll be snowing at varying rates for awhile yet. I think PSUHazelton will be ok too. Winds will pick up after midnight most likely.

 

Harrisburg, York and Lancaster are sticking in the heavier snow associated with the developing coastal low and CTP was talking possible warning upgrades down there and well.. I guess it just happened haha.

You think Harrisburg will see snow from that coastal? Earlier when I looked at the radar it appeared moisture from it actually was west of the river

Ho-Lee-Sh*t.  Drove from Mont. County MD to home in New Salem, PA.  People were abandoning their cars in Carroll County and there has to be a solid 4" at my place.  Everything is snow covered.

Glad you made it safely; I saw a few abandoned cars along Forester and Second here, which is insane. Still light-to-mod snow, flipping back and forth.

4 inches and people are abandoning cars. Welcome to pa. If  people are abandoning cars in that then I respect people who stayed in cars after getting them out of drifts over their roofs. That was a 90's time.

This was in northern Carroll County.  PA roads in SW York County were not great, but hey, my Subaru eats this stuff up.  Tomorrow morning will be interesting.

Little disappointed to report that we've barely crossed 2"...

Are you in State College? Up northeast by you there's probably a ways to go. The precip will try to hang tough over the eastern part of the state as the coastal low deepens.

 

Further west, well, we all know how these systems that jump to the coast usually go. UNV/AOO/IPT could see another 1-2" on top of what's there already.

I'll be interested to see how roads are around my area tomorrow.  Township building burned to the ground over the summer with all the trucks/plows inside, & I have yet to see a vehicle of any kind plowing or salting.  Really coming down.  There's a pic in the Mid-Atlantic thread from a TV met in Baltimore/DC outlining York, Lanc and points N & E getting 8 more hours of accumulating snow.  I wonder if that will come to fruition, if so, yikes!

Nope, I am home (in W-B )for the winter break.

A solid 2" in Bellefonte...probably the last really accurate measurement as winds are starting to pick up and blow the snow around.  Currently 17°.  Roads are nasty...a thin layer of ice underneath the snow from the little bit of melting we had this afternoon.  Traversing the hills of Bellefonte was an adventure.

developing coastal now showing signs of pressure falling over 1mb/hr now... latest water vapor imagery now showing a tongue of drier air trying to push north into central PA where the radar isn't showing much of anything at the moment

 

3.5" at 8:30PM in Enola with temp near 23 in heavier snowfall and 24 when lighter
