It’s been snowing moderately most the event. 

I noticed the heaviest returns go toward you and then have faded back some.  The LWX radar I had just peaked at looked like they were over you though.  Could always be issues with the angles...CTP radar does not work so well for my area so I have to watch LWX if any of the NWS sites.

9:00pm Ob...Temp 31.3.  Snowing moderately.  Only picked up an additional 0.5" last hour for a storm total of 4.0".  I think a little compaction may be starting to occur with the temp so close to freezing and the snow so wet.  I can see the back edge appearing southwest down around Cumberland MD.  Only need 1.4".  Cmon' storm, you can do it!

Yeah sterling all the way for us.  I’ll watch state college once in a while for a line of tstorms dropping down but that’s it.   The best radar for us lsv folks was when wgal had their live Doppler 8.   That had a lower angle and showed great banding detail and  had very little virga returns.   @AllWeather any plans on making that operational anymore?

Funny the best radar would be in Lancaster.  I just measured the snow and I would say 6.75.  I do not think it is compacting too much. Might make 7 but probably not 8.

Will tomorrow- was 3.5” Friday and 3” Saturday. 

That thought you had yesterday, about 3 consectuve measureables at MDT, is going to look pretty cool when we look back at records years from now.  Will we remember the first two basically melted off in a day, not sure, but looks like one great stretch of March.

Indeed. Kinda wild with a winter of basically nothing but cutters Harrisburg will have ~40” snow. Go figure!
