NortheastPAWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Nice 12z run of the EURO. Steady as she goes. Precip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Precip? Same as before. Maybe a degree colder aloft. Really no change worth noting...a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Staying positive, but that radar looks pretty paltry. I think this is a good example of how radar can be misleading... take a look at southwest Ohio... the radar around there hasn't looked overly impressive all morning based on dbz levels... yet there are reports coming in already with totals in the 3-6" range as was forecasted... and another good example here is how bad some of the short term/rapid update type models like HRRR can sometimes be... forecasted accumulations on 14z run for that same area on HRRR by 1pm of 1-2" 15z run has storm total accumulation there of 2-3"... oops lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick G Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Unfortunately, I have to work tomorrow morning. Have to be there by 1am....I'm anticipating white-knuckle driving down Columbia Ave in my V6 which handles snow like a wet bar of soap. CAN'T WAIT I know the local stations here will send one of their big 4wd to pick up talent when it is bad. OR even better, put them up at a hotel nearby. I have a big Jeep with a Hemi, it sucks on gas but is awesome in snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hours ago my friends on their way to Iowa, posted a picture on Facebook they were driving on an interstate near Indy and there was several inches of snow on the highway then. they said there were multiple wrecks and the roads were bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeffsvilleWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 i'm hearing reports of flurries in Camp Hill I've been watching traffic cameras (I've decided to head home when snow hits Gettysburg) and haven't seen anything east of Hagerstown. Probably couldn't see flurries though, those cameras have horrible resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 i'm hearing reports of flurries in Camp Hill That would not surprise me. Within the past hour, there is "mist/hazr" being reported at KMDT / KTHV with a visibility of 5/4 miles respectively. Sometimes an ASOS will mistake flurries or even fine snow flakes as mist or fog or haze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxpatriot Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Light snow in Hagerstown while I'm at work. Really big flakes. I like what I'm seeing as the dry slot seems to be filling in to our South and West. Good trends on them models this afternoon as well, think a lot of people will be happy tomorrow.

canderson Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 i'm hearing reports of flurries in Camp Hill Just left Pizza Grille by the market; not really flurries but just very hazy. It might be extremely fine snowflakes but it's more of a haze IMO at the moment. But man it looks/feels like a snowstorm's approaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllWeather Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I know the local stations here will send one of their big 4wd to pick up talent when it is bad. OR even better, put them up at a hotel nearby. I have a big Jeep with a Hemi, it sucks on gas but is awesome in snow. Ours will too...but realistically only for big storms when they call in extra personnel. Small stuff -- not much help. I just have to leave at literally the worst time of night for this particular storm. Oh well, that's the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 PennDOT cams are showing snow on I-81 at the PA/MD line. FYI, you can expect a haze for about an hour then bam it starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeffsvilleWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 PennDOT cams are showing snow on I-81 at the PA/MD line. Was just about to post that. Hagerstown cam went from clear to low visibility in the span of maybe 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paxpatriot Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Roads starting to get covered in Hagerstown in spots, as the snow has picked up intensity in the last 15 minutes. Really worried about the timing of this event now--schools did not let out early because of the progged later start, so we could be looking at the perfect storm of school + rush hour traffic out on the roads very shortly.

NeffsvilleWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 . Really worried about the timing of this event now--schools did not let out early because of the progged later start, so we could be looking at the perfect storm of school + rush hour traffic out on the roads very shortly. That's surprising. Schools in York county have sent kids home already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
