mappy Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 hey, I-83 Blizzard... word to the wise, probably not best to post your obs in the MA forum today, especially if you are at home in PA. Things are a bit testy down there and you seem like a good guy. Id hate for you to have your head ripped off by those with unrealistic expectations.

psuhoffman Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The weekend system had ku potential and I love the setup and gefs plus eps are as bullish as ever for that range but its still just potential 6 days out. They are setting people up for a letdown and making forecasters look bad if it doesn't happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wed system is going north so this was their only chance this week in a pattern many are excited for. This is likely going to be a great week just north of them but its a gradient pattern and they ended up just on the wrong side of the screwed line. Hope this weekend gets them into it.

I know I would. I was about to post something earlier, but decided against it as I was typing lol. Meddler has Millersville at 2" already and still coming down pretty good.

heavy_wx Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Radar upstream of State College looks decent. We are right on the northern edge of the poleward-sloped frontogenetic circulation where there is some weaker lift. This circulation is supported by the upper-levels, which place much of PA in the right entrance region of the 250 mb jet streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Measured 2" about 20 mins ago. 32.7 degrees with heavy snow. Think we can reach 6" as it should snow pretty good for the next 4hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well, the snow is currently pretty poor-looking here...as the rich get richer, us northerners will have to place our chips on Wednesday...and I just hate doing that for this setup.

showmethesnow Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Sitting at 2 inches here with the temps just a hair over 32. Flakes are getting smaller compared to the cement we had coming down the last hour and half. Probably looking at rates of .75-1 inch at this time.

Vogan Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 First unoficial measurement of 2.75" here in Norlanco. We changed over around 5am from the heavy sleet. That puts us on 1"/hour rates. Nothing better than heavy daytime snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
