MillvilleWx Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 31/17 at Millersville with a wet bulb of 26.7. Looks a little dicey in the AM but shouldn't be terrible with conditions improving in the mid morning. Areas out west in Northern York out to Chambersburg will be pretty slick till early/mid afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 What do you think Joe? And nice quote from Eric. I've heard him say that before myself and he's right. WAA = Warm Air Advection. Eric always told us the warm air advection precipitation arrives 3 - 6 hours before the numerical guidance shows it. He's usually right. I think west of I-83 and north of the turnpike should bee 0.1" - 0.2" ice. North of Rt. 22 could stay all sleet or snow. Dew points temps are a few degrees below guidance and in these marginal events that's all it takes. Really sad that we can't buy any down stream blocking this winter, it's ruining what would've been an otherwise solid season thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to see ice build up throughout the night...it's been awhile since we've seen a big ice storm. yep the last few times we had favorable conditions for significant ice the rainfall rates were too heavy... does not look heavy through the overnight hours tonight to me so yea could get quite messy the next several hours. 31 and tiny ice balls falling here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly right and he's always been on the money when it comes to timing of storms. I agree on the ice accumulation for the region you outlined. That area over out toward Chambersburg along the turnpike always seems to do well in these types of setups. I think someone like Cashtown can get a good dosage of ice before all said and done. I'm dying for some downstream blocking. It seems like the elusive -NAO will remain the achiles heel for the Northeast. Last year we did it a very atypical way with the displaced PV and very nice -EPO and +PNA setup funneling cold air into the region for a long period. Will be interesting to see how the remainder of winter unfolds. I will never punt February unless I'm absolutely certain nothing is going to happen. It's not that time.

MillvilleWx Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 32/21 at Millersville. Light sleet and freezing mist in the area. The untreated surfaces are starting to become a little slick. Everyone be careful out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Awaiting main precip arrival, sitting at 31ºF and a few snow grains falling. Snuck up to Blue Knob earlier this evening to do some snowboarding before the lousy weather comes in and messes it up. Was still 27ºF up at the ~3100ft summit (approx the 925 level) around 9 pm. Mesoanalysis still indicates 0ºC line running the turnpike at the 850 level. Most will likely see a plethora of p-types at least initially as main slug of precip moves in from the Pittsburgh region. Hope we can get out of this event without a major I-80 pileup for a change, or anywhere for that matter. They've been quite frequent this winter, despite PennDOT being seemingly more proactive about lowering the speed limits to 45mph on parts of I-80 during the more minor events we've had so far this winter.

MillvilleWx Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Light steady freezing rain here now. The sidewalks are a mess. The road is a little slippery, but not as bad as the sidewalks. The parking lot across from me is sketchy already as well. Tough night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Battle lines are very clear to see on the dual pol products, and actually pretty well on regular reflectivity if you look close. The small cross near Altoona is my location, and I am observing some sleet within the snow falling. Light dusting so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 About a quarter to half inch of snow/sleet here in Tamaqua, but no freezing rain yet. Currently 30 degrees as I sit in that dry hole before more precip moves in later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 All roads i traveled are fine, 11&15 and the GWB/81 etc. no issues with side roads either. Sidewalks are a little greasey. Seems to have warmed up pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Still hanging at 29° in Bellefonte, but we never had a sleet pellet or snowflake as far as I can tell, just a few hundredths of an inch of freezing rain/drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have warmed up pretty quick. I think the roads are in pretty good shape due to the fact that there is so much residual salt from the previous storms. My street is just wet despite having pure freezing rain right now with a temp of 31 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I heard, CV, East Penn, etc. Seems weird, but again they've had no cancelled days yet so why not I guess. Roads have some slick spots for sure, our sidewalk and drive were a virtual skating rink, but the main roads seem just wet and maybe a little sleet here and there. Glad it wasn't worse.

pawatch Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 This morning we have kind of been splitting the uprights. Getting dry slotted and have only had a few sprinkles. Which is a good thing with this freezing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
