Blizzard-on-GFS Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I've been watching that band for hours pointed right at CNJ thinking it was aimed right for me but just waiting for the moment for it to break up or dive south; it looks like either isn't going to happen. I think Philly and CNJ night be in for a surprise at the expense of DC and other southern areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treckasec Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Wow, radar looks pretty nice. Congrats PA. Looks like super-band will go north of me but still some nice precip forming for my area as well. Steady, but light snow here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 This band is so important to moistening things up. Those dryslotting in VA are going to get robbed. They might not saturate. Uh... you know its been snowing in VA for hours now, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Wow N VA dryslotting while precip is exploding in the N tier of this storm, wow Storm looks done. Going to be a flock of angry weenies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morch Madness Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Wow, radar looks pretty nice. Congrats PA. Looks like super-band will go north of me but still some nice precip forming for my area as well. Light snow here. I believe you'll get into the band. It should begin to sag south across our area once it gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 They only got like 2 or 3 inches so far. While yes, that's true, they certainly aren't "unsaturated". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morch Madness Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Snow picking up here in Media big flakes 12f 66% humidity almost looks like a new ccb is forming aiming right for SE PA Not a ccb, those are on the back end of storms. This is a fronto derform band, though it is sort of like a front-end ccb. I am really excited to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Snow picking up here in Media big flakes 12f 66% humidity almost looks like a new ccb is forming aiming right for SE PA Same thing here - medium size flakes, very crystalline looking in the light, falling slowly. Very nice. 12F, RH 73%, makes the dp around 5F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Before anyone gets really excited, consider that reported visibility, so far, isn't matching up with the intensity of radar echoes. Only 2 miles in Harrisburg and Altoona. That's not exactly heavy snow, or even moderate. Fairly light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the look of the flakes I suspect pretty high ratio, fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treckasec Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Wow, dewpoint jumped quite a bit, along with the humidity, and the temperature is just a bit lower. Though, it looks like we don't have too much time for snow. Temp: 14 DP: 5 Humidity: 67 I took a look outside, and I'm pretty impressed. Looks like good ratios, medium sized flakes. Similar to the flakes we saw during the Valentines Day band. I don't know exactly what the ratio is here, but I would think it's pretty high with the dendrite snowflakes, somewhere around 15:1 most likely.
