I-83 BLIZZARD Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 More or less 9 inches. Have not gone out to check other rulers on property. Moderate snow falling and more heavy bands coming. Nice event. Cold, down to 14.2 on my PWS. Ratios should be sick in the final heavier bands this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 True, I don't think anyone gets as bad as you exaggerate though lol. It's natural for a weather freak to want a large synoptic storm moreso than clippers and lake effect squalls. I can't move because of my job, but if I had a pick it would be the hills of Connecticutt. Um, yeah. I've mentioned this before, but I work with a few people with a background in psychology (my minor was in that) and I've shown them the board when we were talking about weather, and gave them the link. After looking at the board for a bit, they noted that there seemed to be a lot of people who suffer from depression who post here. They saw an awful lot of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_distortion I completely agree and it's not something you can really argue. Also, it's fine to want a large synoptic snow, but if you live in an area where that doesn't happen a lot, you have to accept your climo. Otherwise, why make yourself miserable? Enjoy what you have.

JamieOber Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 psuhoffman I have been enjoying reading your posts! Some interesting reads. Jamie What area's in our state have the highest snow totals? I agree on yearly snow totals...our snow total we usually get a couple inches at a time. It all adds up. Voyager Man I feel bad for you!!! You need to move :-) 2 areas get the highest amounts: Number 1 is right along Lake Erie over to Bradford. Area number 2 is the higher ridge tops o Somerset County. Here is the map. Enjoy! Yep, that's the place to be, those two areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmsptWx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think seeing the new average, 21-30 for most of the state will shock a lot of people. Some it won't because a decade or so of relatively poor winters (with quite a few exceptions) have many of us in the mindset that we just don't get a lot of snow. In the grand scheme of things, we get enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Measured 6 diff spots and averaged it out to 4.1". Still spitting light snow that dusted what I just came in from shoveling but were essentially through. Stuff doesn't want to come off pavement and with the temps salt won't work ... commute tomorrow will suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeffsvilleWx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Wonder how the roads will be tomorrow with the drifting. Thinking it might not be a bad idea to take tomorrow off too and work saturday instead, since I'll be travelling 83 south before rush hour.

I love this snowfall map I found that used satellite data and takes topography into account better then anything else I've seen. Laurels and poconos are the best bet for big storms in pa.

paweather5 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 My last snow obs is going to be close to 8 in Dover, the last few bands have been adding up very fast. Measured in 4 different spots. Im just liking the fact its going to stay around for a little and we maybe can add some more on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area number 2 is the higher ridge tops o Somerset County. Here is the map. Enjoy! WOW! This is the first time I am seeing the new 30-year averages and I'm shocked. I'm pretty sure the 1970-2000 average for the Harrisburg area was at least around 32" and I thought my area was around 34". To see such a huge reduction throughout such a large geographic area is astounding (in a very disappointing way)! The most recent decade added (2001-2010) has to be the reason for such a drop. At least down in these parts the only winters that were average or above I believe were 2002-2003 and 2009-2010. Many of the others were like 20" or even less. Perhaps this current decade can make up for it over the next 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Forgot to add my final data. Snow ended just before 6:00pm. It looks like I received close to 3.5" on average. I haven't walked around my property because I don't have any boots! (LOL--I know, poor excuse). My reading jives quite well with Zak's and with the reading from Linglestown. Nice to see Canderson has been beating me by a little bit with almost every event this season. Seems like there was a period of time in the past where he was constantly coming up short compared to me here. Proof positive that given enough time everything eventually evens out.

Need to get it better organized I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
