psuhoffman Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Actually a little snow mixing in here. some of the meso models showed the column cooling after a warm start when the heavier precip cools the column then rewarms later tonight.

EasternUSWX Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Back to all freezing rain here. Heavy stuff. It is all freezing. 27 degree. Got .10" on the tree already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Just dumping here now. Awesome. Was just reading the Pittsburgh thread...some of those guys mixed pretty early but changed back to 100% snow as the heavier precip moved in, cooling the column. I think that bodes well for at least the first half of the overnight here in Centre County. Just measured...around 1.4" in the first hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallow Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm watching the Wheeling and Pittsburgh obs... the longer it lasts as snow at those locations (assuming good precip rates, of course), the better that bodes for us here in the State College area.
