Mallow Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 SREF snow amounts way up for KUNV on Wed. 09z mean: 3.7" 15z mean: 7.8" SREFs are FINALLY starting to catch on to the colder idea. EDIT: Huge difference on the ptype plots... http://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/sref/fplumes/index.php?YMD=20140203&RT=15&PRM=Ptype-POP&SID=PSB&INC=ALL&NNC=&max=&min=&mZOOM=7&mLAT=39.96423077501272&mLON=-80.42188323364257&mTYP=roadmap Also, more precip. 18z NAM colder, too, though a little drier. Still, most everyone near or above 0.75". Still brings the 850mb 0C line north of KUNV, but a lot closer, now. Only one or two more of those kinds of trends and it'll be in line with the Euro/GFS.

dcfox1 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 final measurement 8" with that last burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Finally tally IMBY is 7.5" BUT there is 1.0" of liquid equivalent in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Either that is heavy snow here or ping city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 That might have been one of the worst winter storms as far as impacts in PA history. What highway was it where the people were trapped on? I think it was up your way. I-81 and 78 had hundreds of people stranded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxx Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 That last band of snow put my storm total at 8.5". What a great storm, now I'm ready for the next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It does look that way. The sounding for 12z Wednesday has the entire layer from 900 to 700 mb above freezing and below freezing from the surface to 900 mb. I suspect it may even be a bit colder that forecast in the near surface layer due to the fresh snow cover and ageostrophic northerly flow. Yup, this is exactly what I've been feeling. The high liquid ratio content of the snow combined with the cold air being funneled down on Tuesday basically acts as a refrigerator component and cools the surface even further. The level that will be critical is the 700-900 mb you mentioned. The profile depicts a relatively bullish ZR signal. Will be playing a game of atmospheric chicken if you will on whether the warm nose can successfully erode out the surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well, 3.5" today - a reasonable chance of a 1' snowpack by the time Wednesday ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 This last little bit of this storm... Awesome Dendritesthat last band trained over me for hours and dumped 3 more inches after I thought it was about over. Way over performed here. I measured 8" even and that's after a bit of compaction. Great storm here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Always love those dendrites at the end. They always give you a nice fluff factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-83 BLIZZARD Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Still light flurries but compacting more than accumulating. Final tally is 10. 9.5 on deck, 11 on car roof, 10 on clean untreated driveway. Not very scientific but representative of my location. Now it's time for ZAK to bring home a KU for all.

Superstorm Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I assume PHL going with a longer period of snow. I see there southern zones in PA are 4" to 6" and 3" to 5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 I-81 and 78 had hundreds of people stranded People were trapped on 78 just a few miles from my house...had almost 3" LEQ with that storm. Someone can go ahead and start a new thread whenever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstorm Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'm thinking more sleet then freezing rain on this next system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
