Eskimo Joe Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Nothing on radar overhead, but some light snow currently with a new dusting on everything. Temp is 17 degrees. There are some light returns on WGAL doppler, which makes sense given the domes closer proximity to your location than CCX. Driving into DC for work I saw the fuzz around the landing lights of the planes going into Dulles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Are all squalls tmrw around lakes or could one sneak east of I99? Latest CTP discussion mentions squalls making progress well into the Susquehanna Valley. I think AOO-UNV-IPT should be in a good spot for a coating to 2" depending on the strength of the squalls and if anyone can get in on the Huron-Erie band later this evening. I'd like to add an inch or so to the snowcover here to cover the grass and see how cold we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Looks like it's falling apart per radar. I might not be able to partake in the "festivities". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Looks like the squall line is going to do the usual "Tamaqua split". This is a phenomenon that is usually reserved for summer thunderstorms as they approach the area. What basically happens is that a solid line of storms marches across the state until it gets to I-81, then splits apart as it reaches Tamaqua. It then reforms and smokes the Lehigh Valley and points south and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 If anyone is watching the current radar loop, you can see that the line did exactly what I said it would do as it's filling back in south of the Blue Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 well i think your split is gonna be renamed the Dutch Country Dodger as it is doing the same thing for us. I've seen this so many times it makes my head hurt... Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 It looks like that squall line near I-80 has turned deadly. 3 killed and 30 injured. When we wish for extreme weather we often forget about the consequences. http://www.post-gazette.com/news/transportation/2015/01/07/14-vehicle-accident-on-I-80-near-Clarion-kills-at-least-one-person/stories/201501070185 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Bouncing around between 2 and 4 degrees at this hour. I'm not sure why the short term rise/fall/rise/fall, unless it has to do with the fluctuations of the wind speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
