GrandmasterB Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Trying to find the post where Zwyts spiked the ball yesterday on us in Lancaster county...Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Radar looks promising. Ripping big flakes here in Lititz. Bout a half inch in the last 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The best bands seem to be focussing around 25 miles either side of the PA turnpike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pirates21 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 At the 1 inch mark currently, light to moderate fluff balls continuing. Same here one inch exactly and nice steady snow.

CarlislePaWx Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Solidly moderate here now. Big flakes continue. Up to 1.3". Temps 10.8/7.7. Calm winds. I live roughly 2 miles north of the turnpike. Go turnpike!! OTOH, I really hope DC crew don't bust. They really do deserve a nice event after suffering through so many dashed hopes at the last minute. I haven't visited the NE forum recently, but I heard on the news today that Boston's had 90" of snow in the past 3 weeks (since Jan 23). Those poor people. They have nowhere to put all the snow.

MAG5035 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 DC getting a major dry slot. Not sure what they got but it didn't last until 11 tonight. Model fail. I double dare you to post that in the Mid-Atlantic obs thread lol. I was a bit concerned about the PA border region a little while ago, as there wasn't much on radar in Northern MD. That has since filled back in and should keep the lower Sus Valley generally locked in as the rest of the precip swings through overnight. I do still note a weak spot on LWX radar over the entire I-66 corridor that starts right inside DC proper and ends at I-81. I also see some regneration further west as well but I personally think the DC metro is going to be right on the edge or miss the boat with getting up to exceeding say, 6" for the storm total judging by some of their obs so far. Think it'll be more of a 4-6 incher with some more bands of snow that will move through. Just off to the east and southeast though is likely to be a different story as the low hits the coast.

Wish rates were a bit heavier but hey it's still gorgeous tonight. Reminds you of why we love snow so much. It's amazing it's even snowing at all considering how cold it is. Not every day we see a synoptic event with the whole area in upper single digits to very low teens temps, and off a light easterly (southeasterly in some cases) wind to boot.

Is it just too dry air usually to allow the preciip to break through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlleghanyBlade Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I measured 2.5" at midnight and cleared the table. It's so light and fluffy I may get the leaf blower out tomorrow instead of the shovel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 MDT hourly updates at 11 an 12 had .5 miles visibility.

Also saw a PNS report of 3" in Wood, (NE Bedford county). Just measured 1.6" here. Edit to add, hey your actually matched up with Dulles' (IAD) midnight snow report and ahead of BWI (Baltimore International).
