Will we remember the first two basically melted off in a day, not sure, but looks like one great stretch of March. It will look even better if CTP ever revises MDT’s snow amount from early Saturday am. If not, that will be another inch of snow that was there but never made the history books.

Voyager Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 20+dbz rates have successfully danced south of Schuylkill County all night long. But, it had been modelled that way for a couple days now. Our heavy(er) rates have visibly backed off in the past hour though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll get our 4, but insane rates are cool to watch. Even if just for an hour or two. I was in total awe back in 96 when it snowed so hard in the final deformation band that it looked like pea soup fog outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Here's my 10:00pm Ob... Temp 31.3. After a very nice period of heavy snow it has lightened back up to moderate and seems to be getting ready to taper down. Picked up an additional 0.8" for a storm total of 4.8". I think I'm going to come up about 0.5" shy of my goal of 5.4" as it looks like the end is quickly approaching. I'll update one last time at 11:00. It's been fun tracking all day and night with all you fellow weenies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Someone should tell ABC27 you don’t measure snow officially from a parking lot. Edit to add: I don’t mean to be snarky. But you are a meteorologist at a news station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllWeather Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 1 hour ago, Cashtown_Coop said: 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? Not in the near future, unfortunately.

But you are a meteorologist at a news station. they do this to downplay the snow accumulations. they have always under cut snow accumulations. they will claim its cause the normal ground had snow on it all ready. but a snow storm I remember a few years back MDT reported 14 inchs then harrisburg airport reported 8 mind you both of them are reporteed from the airport. I chuckled and turned it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Wow I'm not even to 3". My average is 2.7" attm. I did better on Friday morning's system than that. Have to see if this last band to the west makes it and gets us to the 3" mark here. The snow seemed to shut off a couple hours ahead of schedule.

canderson Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Damn 22 dead (likely to rise) in Lee County, Alabama, after a tornado ripped through.

Yea I thought things came back enough in the near term for widespread 4-5" amounts here and over there in Pit. It's a pretty nice powder snow here and not the really wet snow the southern tier has. Just didn't get enough of the good rates to capitalize. Still not all that bad, it's still + snowfall at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 With very light snow falling but imminently about to end at 11:00pm, the Temp has dropped to 31.1 degrees. I picked up an additional 0.1" during the past hour for a storm total of 4.9". That brings my 72-hour 3-storm total to 11.5". Overall, it was really great to have 3 snow storms that were, for the most part, all snow from start to finish. I don't mind starting as liquid and ending as snow. It's the other way around that's not fun. I guess maybe we have another shot at a little something more as the arctic blast departs by Friday. I'm looking forward to at least several opportunities for optimal radiational cooling on top of our great snowpack and the fresh, dry arctic air, to get our lows well down below 10F and maybe even close to zero. It's definitely a possibility to watch for as early as tomorrow night if there are no winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EF1 that came by my house last may had some of the craziest winds I've ever seen. There was a ton of damage. I can't imagine going through something stronger than that.
