Cashtown_Coop Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 WGAL Radar relay server is up: http://www.wgal.com/weather/live-radar Thanks for the heads up. I loved this radar and thought it was still down. Allweather needs to give us a report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Band came through here pretty broken, didn't see very much additional from it really. Winds are really kicking up now. That very heavy squall traversing the southern tier is coinciding with a small region of very high low level lapse rates of 8C/km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks for the heads up. I loved this radar and thought it was still down. Allweather needs to give us a report When I talked to AllWeather last (a few months ago) he said that the server replacement amongst the IT people over there was essentially "the last thing on their list" but it looks like it's back up now.

JamieOber Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Had dinner with PennMan tonight, wife drove home. Roads were a bit tricky. I think we got about an inch out here but impossible to tell. It's really blowing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Ripping here in york pa. Waited all day. Hopefully that second squall makes it here also. Two squall lines for you, and it looks like the middle of the main line is breaking up and the current trajectory takes the broken section to my location. Looks like the possibility of another Schuylkill County split... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should look out your window in about 15-30 minutes. Check out radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Just had a nice snow squall come through New Salem. Put down a solid coating in about 10 minutes. Winds gusted to 20 mph I'd say. not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The NWS really should have a weather warning for snow squalls...even if they can't cause damage a la flash floods and severe wx, they can be pretty ugly for travel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did put out alerts for the snow squalls but I think they are poorly relayed to the public since they are not a winter weather advisory or winter storm watch/warning that trigger alerts through media outlets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Had two periods of accumulating snows here today. First was late this afternoon. It didn't last too long...maybe 45 minutes and was light for the most part. Picked up about 0.2" from that. Then, around 9:30 the arctic front arrived with the squall line. That was the heaviest snow and biggest flakes in a while. Picked up 0.5" of very fluffy, highly crystallized and reflective snow. Total for the day 0.7". Everything is covered again with a small coating...even the bare spots that formed due to the blowing snow after last Tuesday's event. I have to go calculate my seasonal total. I keep forgetting to write down these events...lol. I don't think I'm even up to 15" yet but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 So far tonight the GFS and the GGEM are alot flatter in the east late next week and beyond keeping us on the cold side of the gradient. GFS was active with storms too. Like I said last night, a high risk high reward type pattern looks to be emerging. If we can stay in the right place we'll be in the business of glacier building with what will probably be multiple snow/ice threats. Now we just need the Euro to get rid of that dumpster fire of a raging southeast ridge it had last night..although it seemed to be heading in that direction as well on it's 12z run today.
