Looks like echoes moving NW and getting stronger. http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/cmc/cmdn/pcpn_type/pcpn_type_gem_reg.html Not that the RGEM is the best model but this is the best image to illustrate.. The banding after contracting last morning is expected to expand back into east central PA from around 3-6pm. This is when we might get another burst of decent snowfall in the MDT area and points northeast. You can see from the sim radar how it predicted the heavy snows would contract for a time before reforming. We will see but this is not unexpected. Look at the loop on the link and you can see what I am talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 4 inches or so here, but hard to measure. Occasional gust out of nowhere just blowing everything around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Woo-hoo! Under the 15 dbz's and the larger flakes are making their appearance for the first time so far. Temp down to 19.6. Also making an appearance is a small dryslot due south of me in Adams county moving north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Highlands Wx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Got about .75" here in State College. Dry air definitely an issue. Seems like the turnpike band is trying to come back but it seems to be struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It is going to be extremely cold tonight. 0 to -5 for many. Even colder up north. Wind chills -15 to -25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Laughable. Got 1.2" here so far, but with this making an appearance, and the look of the current radar, I'm not so sure we see a whole lot more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllWeather Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The pivot and stronger bands are developing now in the SE counties (especially MD). Not worried about busting low for turnpike south, just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that despite it seeming to snow pretty good along I-70 up in MD all the highway cameras are showing mainly wet roads in that area.

MAG5035 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 One of those southwestward propagating weenie bands that have been showing up around the CCX radar has just drifted overhead here. Heaviest snow and best flakes i've seen all event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The snow and wind has really picked up in Camp Hill. CTP indirectly mentioned the lull in their 11:35 discussion. Quote FIRST PULSE OF STRONG LOW-MID LEVEL FGEN FORCING IS SLIDING JUSTEAST OF THE LOWER SUSQ VALLEY...WHILE ANOTHER AREA WILL BE FORMING/ADVECTING INTO THAT SAME ARE FROM NEAR THE I-81 CORRIDOR IN NRNVA. A couple nice features of the RadarScope app I enjoy during snow storms are the Enhanced Echo Tops and Hi-Res Vertical Intregrated Liquid features. I find they give me some lead time over radar refelections in figuring out where banding will set up as well as issues with dry air. Here are 4 screen shots I took as an example.

daxx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have 4.1" so far, snow has really picked up. Even if I only pick up 2 or 3 more inches thats still a good storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Snowing so lightly out that it looks more like a light rainy drizzle. The sun I showed in the pic a few minutes ago is much brighter and so pronounced now that there are slight shadows from my fence posts. Seriously...wtf happened?

NeffsvilleWx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The national radar mosaic really shows the expansion of heavy rates in MD. In larger scale systems such as this, I find it much more useful for reflectivity than GR3. http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/full_loop.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since your in the east maybe you can squeeze out another few inches. If your N and W o I-81 looks like the snow event is mostly over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at regional radar, the snow is expanding to your south. Hard to say if it makes it up your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
