Itunis Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Roads here were pretty rough about an hour and a half ago when driving the gf into work. Looks better now but the side streets a few blocks up from downtown are still solidly snowpacked. Definitely the roughest conditions I've had to travel in this winter.

The melting on contact last evening and then the temp drop into the mid-teens by this morning definitely made for rough road conditions in Bellefonte this morning. Rt 144 just south of town is still pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 In the last 3 frames on radar there is precip suddenly appearing over Cumberland county and rapidly expanding outward. Looks like a nuclear bomb went off sending the cloud outward in all directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Now that I've looked at the regional radar you can see that these new echoes are moving north-northwestward from the south. I think this is evidence that the trough has gone negative. Maybe we have a shot at a few more inches later today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a nuclear bomb went off sending the cloud outward in all directions. We're back to a steady light snow here...echoes blossoming nicely. Probably shifting/developing bands on and off until early tomorrow AM. Will be interesting radar watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexP Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Brett Thackara on ABC 27 during the Noon newscast referred to the models depicting a heavy snow band coming through the LSV as "overdone." He also questioned the high numbers for Philly and points east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001kx Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 We have 3.75" new snow & roughly 9.75" total on ground. I would say mod snow falling now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On radar scope the hi-res integrated liquid radar shows the blowing up you were referring to nicely.

Santa Clause Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Irony of weather...lol. Can a met say if we are going to get some decent gusts out of this? I see NWS has us gusting above 30 just wanted to see some thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is evidence that the trough has gone negative. Maybe we have a shot at a few more inches later today? With the energy transfer to the developing coastal we should see some bands try to develop throughout the rest of the day. Yes it is possible at a few more inches, but will have to be lucky enough to have one of these bands develop overhead. Additional snowfall today around the region will be more scattered than widespread. HRRR is trying to show some kind of banding, but is all over the place from run to run with locations.

PennMan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Coming down nicely here as well despite being right on the edge of radar returns NE winds probably helping to push precip SW of the actual echoes a bit. Snowing more heavily here than I would have anticipated looking at radar. I guess the cold dry nature of the snow and the smallish flakes account for that.

NortheastPAWx Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Dropping my forecast to 2-4" for W-B. Best to hope for is getting back the snowpack lost to melting the past 36 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashtown_Coop Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 At the rate it's been snowing, it would take 6 hours to record an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It's melting faster than it's snowing here. Most sidewalks are completely clear of snow downtown (even ones no one attempts to shovel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Only an inch total down here with some light flurries now. Entire snowpack is an inch. Had 80% bare ground before this system last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowalot Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 In Lancaster city proper, it's been lightly snowing all morning. The intensity seems to be picking up. Been reading Accuweather forums and hearing the trough has gone negative more quickly. Guess we need to see if it can wrap in some moisture towards our area. I hope we are all pleasantly surprised today and tomorrow by this storm. We might not get the huge numbers from NY and NE but I think we will get more than what is currently forecasted.

Eskimo Joe Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So how about the RAP/HRRR/RPM showing a York/Cumberland County bullseye this evening? Some places 4" - 6" in what 6 hours? I can't believe that...maybe an inch or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
