Itstrainingtime Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Turned the heat off and opened the windows a bit last night. It was 55 when I went to bed, woke up this morning to 61 freaking degrees. The cold air can't come back soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been a nice soaker if the ground wasn't frozen. Normally, I'll get water in my basement from a heavy thunderstorm or if we top the 2 inch mark in the gauge, but I already have it with less than an inch. I slammed an ice chopper into the bare ground that the dog killed, and it only went in about an inch. Under that is frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Crazy weather day 50's today, by midnight in the lower 20's. heavy rain during the day. Wondering right now how much snow we are going to see. Looks like some models are leaning towards more of a mix. The Euro seems the coldest.

MAG5035 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 This storm almost reminds me of the other Jan '96 storm (the one that caused the flood), except of course.. all of us didn't have 3 feet of snow on the ground this time. A major warm surge with excessive rainfall (albeit in a diff part of the state) but an extremely sharp temperature gradient on the frontal passage. A lot of flooding issues in western PA ahead of the wintry part of the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro Well didn't think I'd have the first severe thunderstorm warning of the year before getting any kind of half decent snow but there's that I guess haha. Had some really heavy rain but not a lot of wind with it. It's windy now though, that line of storms represents the frontal passage and temps are already starting to fall. The mesowest station thats a few blocks away just went from like 55 to 49 in ten minutes. KJST is reporting 39ºF while KAOO is reporting 59ºF.

pasnownut Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 13 hours ago, MillvilleWx said: There will certainly be ice with this setup, but the wedge of cold being advected into the system will be pretty good and a deep enough layer should keep a fair amount of this precip in the form of sleet. I think areas down by the PA line out by Gettysburg and Chambersburg could see some solid ZR that will cause trouble in those parts. Central counties should be more on the sleet side after it starts as ZR, then change over to snow. Quite the mess up there incoming. I wish I could go chase it, but you know the whole working thing. I'll chase my rain south of the Mason Dixon. Boooo I’m up in west central Tioga 3 miles from Potter line. I hope to have some pics tomorrow. Down to 32 here. Here we Gooo...... i hope.

A lot of flooding issues in western PA ahead of the wintry part of the system. That is exactly what I was thinking of. Up here in the Lake Michigan snowbelt in Michigan I started off Wednesday with 16 inches of snow on the ground. In the matter of 24 hours I pretty much lost ALL of it. Record high temp of 56 degrees, dewpoint around 50, and .85 inches of rain. Now down to snow piles everywhere and patches in yards. Not very happy at all about it.

Voyager Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Last set of temperature obs (10:00pm) had Scranton at 40, Mount Pocono at 58, Hazleton at 61, and Tamaqua at 63. the front is slowly getting down to my location and might be almost overhead right now as we are getting a pretty good dumping right now. Winds are still calm and out of the SSW though. Rainfall up to 1.29" out of the storm so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Windshift just happened five minutes ago...now NNW at 15 to 20. Temp at 55 and about to tank. Pressure bottomed out at 997. Btw, had a high of 67.5 degrees this afternoon in the sun. Supposed to be 60 degrees colder for tomorrow night's low here...WOW! Oh yeah, picked up so far about 0.70" of precip, but radar looks juicy to the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
