MAG5035 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Oh sure. This is a classic Central PA coinflip. I've seen these produce, I've seen them fail. This reminds me a great deal of 2/9-10/10 with all this deform band talk. I got under one and picked up 8", while UNV got like 3. Might be dumb luck. Hey MAG, you remember that? Actually to another point, that one was more of a miller B storm. This is the first true miller A we've seen in awhile that's just gonna roll up the coast unabated. Models sometimes aren't juiced enough with these moisture laden gulf systems (See: GFS) I think we could stand a better chance of overachieving here with the main event and the deform being bonus.. especially with the track as it is. A more Euro like track should favor us almost as well as the Sus Valley from a climo standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChalkHillSnowNut Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Ritual of the trout was right! Enjoy this central PA!! We're pulling for all of you to get a nice nice treat! We won't see much more than a few flakes in PITT.... Get those shovels out! Radar looks phenomenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 not gonna lie... was expecting several hours of virga... not the case just south of here I anticipated that as you or someone talked about it. This could be a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just started not to long ago and already have a dusting. Light snow, 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What is your opinion of power outage potential tomorrow? 12 inches of heavy wet snow plus 30 mph gusts are sure to lead to some outages. I'm not denying that the snow will eventually become wet, and certainly more likely sooner the farther east you go. But with our temperatures starting out close to 20 degrees and likely to drop a few with evaporational cooling, I can't see how the first half of the storm is wet.

MAG5035 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Nice to see that 511pa's revamped site now includes several new cameras along the turnpike. Got one near Somerset now and several between Breezewood and Carlisle. Gonna come in handy later. http://www.511pa.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think many forecasts might bust low. Given the early start, better initial ratios, and convective banding. Very good potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just took a first look at radar. The leading edge is now over me over to Harrisburg. There are 20-25 dbz's on the leading edge. Should begin here within the next 10 minutes. Temp holding steady at 20.1 degrees. Dew Point 11 so I would expect at least a one degree fall in the temp.

Voyager Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Looks like a heavier band is trying to develop almost immediately behind the leading edge of the precipitation. Someone might start out with a wall of snow if that gets stronger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
