canderson Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Makes sense to me for a dedicated obs/banter thread about this event. About 1.5" on the ground now in Harrisburg abd in a very nice band. Much more coming later tonight! Here is the latest CTP forecast: Good luck, all!

AMDEW80 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 trying to reel myself in, but things are looking good. Wondering if anyone could give us a little idea when the heaviest snowfall will occur in mdt area? Wondering when I should get a couple hours of sleep in:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vogan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 First report from Ephrata 5pm first flakes 8pm .4" Enjoy the storm everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 measured about .8" about 15 minutes ago and intensity is starting to pick up. HRRR continues to want to put MDT at about 6" around midnight to 1 am so that may be our first indicator here of how HRRR might be doing... I would gladly take even just 2/3rds what the output has been so far! Its just crazy to realize we are seeing accumulating snow here with a low down in the carolinas!

KPITSnow Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Some encouragement for you guys out above the turnpike and beyond, but out this way the precip shield and moisture in general has expanded in line much more with the OP NAM than the GFS. Should really bode well for most of you guys as it appears that really, the NAM is verifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to agree - looking at the radar filling in to my south it's hard to buy into the sharp gradient being around I-80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 And what are we all drinking tonight?Picked up an Oskar Blues variety pack. Snowing nicely here near Myerstown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The big question though...what is actual precipitation versus virga? Well, I can tell you that I just measured, and I am already at an inch. Considering that I was modeled and forecasted for about 3 I would say I am doing really well and have moderate snow and probably about a .5 mile visibility right now. Also, as far as our area, We have moderate snow all the way up to the allegheny/butler county line, allegheny being Pittsburgh's county. I would say that line of moderate snow extends out to state college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
