York/Lancaster will see some melted flakes much sooner than we will around here this afternoon if these rates continue. Just now flipping over here. Picked up nearly 1.5". Solid!

Jns2183 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I agree and just said same to my wife.The short-term models kept upping the snow totals in Cumberland county yesterday afternoon and evening so I thought this might be an opportunity over preform. I wouldn’t even be surprised to see Carlisle double MDT snow totals. . Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 It's going to be an ugly ride tonight for me on that bus. Going from Hazleton to Pottsville to Harrisburg, leaving at 5pm...maybe. I'm wondering if they may drop the Pottsville stop due to having to go down the hill on 61 from 81. Either way I'm not looking forward to it. I wonder, though. Since I'm not a bus commuter, at what point do they cancel or suspend services in events like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Just now, sauss06 said: I'm starting to think I may have to drive and pick my daughter up after the Hershey Bears game I looked at the 511 cams down there, and it looks pretty bad. Looked like a good crash somewhere east of the 81/83 interchange as traffic was backed up pretty good near exit 72 going northbound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 LWX radar is picking up the transition zone pretty well poking up into southern PA. Looks like the warm air intrusion is pretty low, generally between 925mb-850mb... so radar beam is above the transition zone getting up where Lancaster is at. mPing reports are matching up fairly well with the CC product.

Cashtown_Coop Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Managed 3” before switching to sleet. A little sleet and freezing rain on top would be great to add some moisture to keep this around for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Moderate snow with 2.7" so far. That's already a win in my book here, after how much the models had that precip min in the central counties the last few days I didn't have very high expectations for a decent snowfall.

Jns2183 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Have a feeling for the next couple hours it’s going to be going from snow to mix to back to snow a bunch according to rates. High temp is only suppose to be 34 now, down from 38 forecasted yesterday. . Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Well it isn’t a snowstorm without a picture of such things. Visibility’s between 1/4 to 1/2 mile. Need to get the actual distance of the water tower on the other hill though, it would make a good reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hi Guys! Just got home from church and running to the grocery store, and caught up on 2 pages of posts since last night, which was sweet! I just measured 3.0" of pure snow, and it continues to snow moderately to occasionally heavily, around 0.6"/hour. When I went to bed around 1AM the HRRR had me going over to rain by around 3:00PM and temp rising to 37 degrees by 7PM. Now I see it backed off on the timing of any warmup (yet again, it's been like a see-saw the past 24 hours), with snow the predominant ptype until close to 5:00PM. Let's see if I make it to 4" again, which would tie the biggest event of this winter with the snow we had a week or two ago. Temp holding steady at 30.2 degrees. The snow is definitely wet, and I think it may be compacting a bit as it accumulates right now with peak solar insolation having just passed. In any case, it's exciting to watch another event underway. I'll update again at 3:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
