Sounds about right...I just measured about 11 in west York. The snow has been pretty light here for a good hour now. Come on more bands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amounts from CTP are a little old, so I'm hoping to get some updated numbers. Can you include your location as well? Thanks in advance! I had 3.5” yesterday and 5” so far today - with compaction/slight melting current depth at 7” I am just north of Sauss in Enola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hopefully this animation will work. Low-level water vapor image. Notice the subsidence band the currently is over the LSV and runs NE towards NW NJ. There's a big band of moisture rotating NW towards the LSV which should make rates pick back up again within the next hour or so. At noon I had no additional accumulations due to lighter snow and the temp reaching 33.8 degrees. Snow seems to be picking back up again now as I type. Look at the center of a vort that is in eastern WV, rotating and moving westward towards the huge upper low over Indiana. There doesn't appear to really be a coastal low yet. If the picture animation doesn't play try clicking on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Past 9" (12.4" storm total) and still pouring snow. City plows have come by every once in awhile and despite plowing the new snow is still laying on the roads even in the middle of the afternoon. I want to post pics but the kiddos getting off school early must have this board all jammed up haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the coastal seems to finally have gotten going so this will start pulling east but we have a few hours. Any idea who has gotten screwed today with this system? It’s funky looking.

pasnownut Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 i will get a better measurement later, but we came back IN from snowmobiling....too deep....cant see kid hit a pipe. zip tie time. no biggie short of that it was awesome..... gotta be between 10-12 in northern lanco. Last 2.5 hours put down 3" snow coming over sleds (snowplowing). cant see a lick Fantastic storm!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I thinkkkkk this will go down as the 2nd biggest March snowstorm for MDT, after 1993. Edit: nm, it’ll be top 6 - I was originally thinking post March 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy56 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 What was the official tally for the March 14th storm last year? I remember they bungled it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paweather Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Coastal looks to be taking over now and pulling the heaviest snows to the east of us, we likely will be in light to moderate snow for the next 4-5 hours until it tapers. Once sun angle goes down that should still accumulate nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 At 4:00pm I have just measured an additional 1.5" (since about 2:00pm), giving me 6.2" for today and a storm total of 10.2". Hoping to hold on long enough to reach a foot, but hitting 10" is pretty sweet too. Temp is holding at 30.7 degrees. There is some minor blowing snow coming off of rooftops when the winds pick up a bit. Water vapor imagery shows the coastal is indeed forming now off the Delmarva coast, but it also shows a solid moisture feed still rotating northwestward from our southeast, covering most of the southern half of PA.

Voyager Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I measured 8.75" in Tamaqua at 3:30pm. It probably would be more, but I'm sure it compacted some. Yes, I did make it home. I delivered, was empty in an hour, parked the truck at the terminal and made it home safely. Our rates have diminished some as the snow has gotten lighter. Have I seen the heaviest snow of the storm or might it ramp up again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowalot Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Here in Lititz using the eyeball test I would say 10 to 11 inches. Beautiful. Roads snow covered if it was gonna snow now at least it was a monster snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I seen the heaviest snow of the storm or might it ramp up again? Glad you made it home safe and sound and your travel worries are behind you! Latest look at the HRRR says the storm is rapidly winding down for us in C-PA and from this point to the end there will be less than an inch additional accumulation. It has the snow totally over with by 0Z, or 8:00pm. Those of us in the 10" range are likely not going to reach a foot as it looks now, but you never know until the last flake falls...lol.
