Winter Wizard Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Less than an inch in round 1 in State College. Based on recent model trends, I'd go with an area of 4-7 inches extending from the Laurels to north of I-80 and across NEPA with 2-4 inches in the LSV. Like with 11/15 and 1/20, how much snow we get depends on how strong the WAA thump is. I'm not sure I buy such a prolonged period of freezing rain that the NAM is showing but regardless, travel will be quite hazardous tomorrow. Great post earlier by @djr5001 showing the comparison between obs and soundings from this morning. Models have a tendency to underestimate the warm air between 850 and 700 mb, so would not surprise me to see an earlier transition from snow as a result.

Sit back an enjoy. I'm screwed, but I'll count every flake as a win. I think by later this week, us snow birds may be chirpin a bit. Nice window of opp starting to show up.

canderson Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Tomorrow looks more and more icey than snowy for us the LSV. Boooooooo.

It looks like that is what you have done here. Your 3.3" is the total since last night? Otherwise my board is cleared and I'm ready to start over from zero.

Hasn’t stopped snowing here so this truly is one event imo. My 6 hour board cleared times are 7 and 1 so I’ve got one coming up shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bumped up the ice to up to 0.2" for the warning counties so it appears they believe the freezing rain is going to last longer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 From sunset until at least midnight it's going to be pure snow for everyone. Should be a fun evening.

I am not sure if we can pull 5" out of this system with the rushing warmth that I didn't think would occur but it's legit apparently. Not so sure we see much in the way of ice with surface temps hanging around 30-32F. Closer to MAG is where the ice issues are more likely. Tomorrow's length of day and peak sun angle is equivalent to October 29th combined with the transition to rain with warmth aloft so not sure we have issues other than some crust forming early in the day on where snow has not been cleared. To me this looks a lot like that storm we had back in January where we hold the transition off just long enough with good rates in the last hour or two before changeover before sunrise that we get into that 4-6" total area before torching to rain during the day. There is a lot of moisture moving in so with this system and much more than what was available with that January event so with the right dynamics its possible but yea the warmth will win eventually.

djr5001 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 There are several 3.5"+ obs north of Baltimore where it is trying to changeover but heavier rates appear to keep turning p-type back to mostly snow for now. @Cashtown_Coop looks to be in a really nice spot at the moment for this afternoon.

Likely my lull. Here's to ever hour of snow/frozen we can hang onto. I know I'm in trouble, but i can only hope we sleet for some time before we flip. Pack retention baby.
