Itstrainingtime Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Absolute obliteration of the snow and ice here. I easily had a 6"-8" average depth at 6am. It's now down to patches. 50 here and just dumping rain with strong southerly winds. Kudos to all of you who thought the cold would hold tough longer than the models predicted. Kudos to people like myself who mentioned just how quickly cold air can be overwhelmed in such a short time. My temp has risen 26 degrees in 4 hours.

CarlislePaWx Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Wow guys...the warmth is closing in from all directions....but not here!! After rising to 33.9 back around 8:30 in the heavy rain, I dropped back down to 32.5 degrees. Now I'm back up to a warm 33.0 degrees. Since 7:20 when I went above freezing I have recorded another 0.80" of rainfall which about equals the liquid that fell below 32 degrees. How much longer will my cold hold??? I'll keep you posted.

Rick G Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'll second NEPAwx's temps. we went from having an inch or so of ice/sleet/snow on our deck at 6:00 to it being cleared at 8:30. roads were fine, but there are power outages all over and I saw some fallen trees and branches on the road. School doesn't open until 12:00 but people are here. they don't believe that we delayed until noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is part of why I was thinking all week about ice storm... Southeast or east wind around here over snow cover and the cold air pools against east side of Apps and is able to fight the warm air a bit that the models don't handle well. The huge gradient from you to east is really impressive right now. It was 40 on west shore and jumped 5-10 degrees just crossing to east shore.

canderson Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Quite a lot of flooding around Harrisburg today, not surprisingly. Some schools flooded, Front St is closed in midtown, Cameron is (or was) closed. Looks like the rain's about out of here though so that's good. Tonight this slush refreezes which will really suck. But Saturday looks awesome - sunny and low 50s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Ran out of hours and couldn't turn the trip. I parked for the night at the Petro in Scranton. I think I drove through a bit of everything today. Heavy rain, freezing rain, sleet, a bit of snow, and high winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 A lot of the roads was flooded this morning because the storm drains was blocked by snow & ice. We picked up 1.70" of rain today so far, and I figure - estimate - 3" of snow from the storm. Measured 2.5" when I went to bed but it was still snowing. Now lets see how the rivers & steams handle all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
