CarlislePaWx Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 At 9:51 I recorded a peak wind gust of 46.1 mph. Sustained winds have been between 15 and 20 mph. Wind chills now steady between 5 and 10 below zero. Temp continues to plummet, now down to 10.2. Looking at Wundermap it is interesting that some places to my north are warmer than I am. Not sure how that is possible unless it has to do with the wind trajectory? I'm anxious to see if I can break the 50mph mark. That would be my highest wind gust at my current home where I have lived for the past 3 1/4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Got probably around an inch of snow earlier. Edit to add: The total may be more than that since I wasn't keeping tabs on it for the last couple hours. Looks brutal outside, with a temp of 14.8 and the wind really picking up. Listening to the township plow trucks on the scanner, heard the one guy say he can't even find the road, due to the blowing snow. I'm not surprised...drifting snow is one thing eastern Lebanon County does well. I'll bet Rt 645 is a real treat at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 If the current situation holds (which I'm sure it will and only get better) Millersville will set a new all time daily record low Max for the month of February. Current record is 12 and we are now at 11 with a dew point of 1. Wind is really cranking now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Last measurement of the night as I'm heading to bed. I got 3 inches, but not sure how much is tainted by the wind, so no guarentee of accuracy. It's still snowing borderline light/moderate here though. Although even CTP had upped their totals to 4-6 inches for the event here in Schuylkill County, I was skeptical that we'd see anything close to those numbers, but...and I'll never be able to accurately tell, we may come close to the low end at least. As for the wind, well, for some of us, this might be a page to monitor for the next 24 hours or so. https://www.pplelectric.com/my-account/outage-center/outage-map.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 And with a temperature of 10, a new all time record at Millersville has fallen. There is basically no way we make it back to 10 tomorrow. Midnight Obs: 10/-2 Wind Speed: 34 mph Wind chill: -13 I'm amazed. Down now to 9/-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexP Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I had a nice inch or so after I had given up on the squall. I'll take that as a win considering that the radar looked like it was falling apart overhead. 11 degrees with that classic whistling wind sound outside my window.

MAG5035 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 RGEM and UKMET are def decidedly north of the GFS and NAM for Tuesdays storm so far in tonight's 0z cycle. UKMET (60hr) RGEM 48hr (max range) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say though that we here regularly get winds that should get a warning. So far nothing tonight touches a night we had late fall, I was scared to sleep. Then Irene was otherworldly.

So far nothing tonight touches a night we had late fall, I was scared to sleep. Then Irene was otherworldly. Tonight is the worst for me in a long time. This still has nothing on a summer time overnight severe storm back in 2002 when I was back in Baltimore. An 88 mph wind gust shook the house and took out my neighbors tree that landed just a foot or so away from my parents car at the time. We left for Ocean City next morning. I've never been so scared of wind in all my life. Irene was nasty too. I remember that one as well. Lost power for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting to hear. You'll be sitting really low today and Sunday night. I hope you can start up the truck Monday morning.

The way the wind rips through that industrial park, the wind chill may very well be -40 out there. I hope you can start up the truck Monday morning. Going to be brutal Me too. I'm not looking forward to going out, probably for a 4 or 5 am start time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. I'm sure all the usual spots will be drifted over. Would've been kinda neat to see what this wind could do with say half a foot of fresh snow.

MAG5035 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 And then the 0z Euro just took a pretty decent wack at hitting PA for Tuesday. Light-moderate event for all but the far NW corner of the state in the hour 54&60 frames. Potentially more significant in the southern tier and Sus Valley. DC/NOVA gang hammered pretty good. Very cold storm for all in PA (850s less than -12ºC in C-PA for the duration). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 This has been one of the wildest model back-and-forths I can recall. MAG or someone, do you have any further details on the EURO, such as precip/snow numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 This has been one of the wildest model back-and-forths I can recall. Euro with forehand to continue the volley. Will the NAM keep the rally going? We'll know in 3 hours or so. Very nice run for everyone especially the LSV. Love to see a sounding from that run for southern tier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 This has been one of the wildest model back-and-forths I can recall. I think they're just having a heck of a time handling the ejection of the southwest energy, we need most or all to come out at once to give us a competent wave that can make a good run at us. Seems to be the way the models had been heading today. Unless this thing actually bucks the overall trend of sneaking (back) north late in the game and ultimately ends up a southern slider, I'm continuing to ride the notion that our region is well in the game for a piece of this system. Some run to run continuity would be nice, but for now the foreigners in the 0z suite have our back... with the Canadian, UKMET, and European showing some fairly decent precip into most of PA.

MAG or someone, do you have any further details on the EURO, such as precip/snow numbers? Precip looks like .1-.3 from northwestern PA down to the I80 corridor for west of State College. From State college east down to MDT and across the turnpike 0.3-0.45 with highest totals south. From MDT down to THV and LNS, 0.4-0.5. South of Rt 30 is 0.5-0.6 to the M/D line. 850's plenty cold at -12 or lower for CPA and -7 - -9 around the M/D line. Very solid run verbatim. Would love to check soundings to see if there's any good snow growth in the southern tier. You can walk away with 6-10" easy if they are. Great run with plenty of cold powder.

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Stunning turn of events on the models. 6 to 10 with ratios would be fantastic. Would be the first serious snow event of the season down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
