Ralph Wiggum Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Haven't really been following this threat as I firmly believe this becomes very disorganized crossing the mountains. Next 3-4 hours are critical. What time are we supposed to see flakes, if we see any, in SEPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hmm tough forecast. Could be a travel headache or just a normal rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard-on-GFS Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Looks like it would be around that most important of times, the morning rush. Unfortunately I got a flight out of LGA at 7:30 AM. I am actually bullish on this event. I think this drops coating-2" for most of the area, especially I-95 and NW. This time I'll be hoping for nothing more than flurries so of course it will over perform haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Looks like it's coming across the apps just fine It may, but we can't make that determination yet. Dissipation happens on the downslope side and its still near the crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Temp is 9. Dark outside with wind. I can hear the wind too. Radar looks decent out west. Mt holly nws is calling for 1.5 inches of snow locally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Its "Virga Central" in the lower Susquehanna Valley right now. Lots of echoes but nothing making it anywhere near the ground. Meanwhile MPO is reporting a little Uppage and there's some light snow in Scranton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Nice little strip of green on the radar getting close here....RH is still 57% 59%, seems it needs to be in the 60's for it to snow....we shall see shortly! 23F. ETA at 5:15 - a few flakes here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I think I can honestly say this is the first time I've ever been woken up by the sound of snow. It almost sounds like IP hitting the house. Anyway, picking up a coating, temp "up" to 21.6F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost sounds like IP hitting the house. Anyway, picking up a coating, temp "up" to 21.6F. Softer flakes here as far as I can tell, but a light coating now. 23F still, RH up to 62%. Update - just went outside and it's the same here, small snow pellets about 1/16th inch diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, picking up a coating, temp "up" to 21.6F. Funny you mention that. I had the dog out at 5:00am up here and had the same thing. I could hear it hitting the side of the neighbors house. Further investigation revealed that it almost had a sleet/graupel structure to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Reilly Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 23 ground covered coating in Media pellets of snow now flakes of snow in Media gotta be a warm layer out there swear I hear some sleet pinging too let that be a lesson for next week warming not far away to our south at least in the upper levels...it was 12 here at 7 pm last night now 23 quite the swing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 About 0.10" of snow beads so far....23F. Does anyone know if these snow beads are a result of snow passing through a warm layer or something in the snow growth zone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 This may actually be real graupel... i.e. rimed pellets. Liquid water droplets can exist in clouds well down below freezing so there may not be a warm layer per se, but enough convective lifting to result in liquid water droplets which the snow is then falling through.

Thanks for the explanation! Makes the ratio pretty low. Still nice to have snow/graupel falling..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Reilly Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks Ray for explaining they do bounce a bit but not as high as sleet..good to see the white stuff again wow all the way south through all of Delaware victory for the Nam I suppose. 32 today don't know about this 23 now in Media cold air looks like it's about to roll back in from the west and northwest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
