I'd be seeing it if there were heavier precip overhead. It's really light right now and there looked like some wet snowflakes in there but I don't have the rates. Cams in Somerset have snow on the ground and now the Sideling Hill cam east of Breezewood (Fulton Co) on Rt 30 has snow on the ground under that area of heavier precip. If that progresses eastward, some of those ridges along the southern tier further east are probably going to change over. Edit: I can confirm a few flakes now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 @MAG5035 The 12z Euro & 12z EPS brought some of the decent precip into the LSV, so maybe some lucky spots (ie. my yard...) get into some wet snow this evening as rates increase & temps drop. The dew points in the northern PA are in the teens, so there is some cold air aloft that is trying to build southbound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 @MAG5035 What do you think of the the chance of some More CTP snow this Friday? The 12z Euro & Canadian were very interesting today for this late season snow chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12z Euro & Canadian were very interesting today for this late season snow chance. This week is likely to be the last week until later this fall for prospects of the wintry kind in the majority of PA. There's 3 disturbances on the models that have been showing up for this week, with this evening's system being one of them. Another weaker disturbance passes through tomorrow evening (Wed night). This one arrives from the west and it doesn't look like it's going to make it over the western mountains precip wise. But there will probably be another light accumulation in the Laurels and potentially more flakes to be seen in western PA and the immediate central off the Laurels. Friday's system looks like the strongest of the 3. Track of the system is going to dictate how far south any snowfall gets. I'd like the prospects of north-central above I-80 by the looks of things. 0z Euro has come north a tad more where the GFS/NAM reside. 0z GEFS spread has some members with a swath into the heart of PA lending to a more robust snowfall mean into places like UNV (sort of jived with the Canadian), but generally it's swath is running I-80 and above. This could be a solid event for whoever sees it, especially for the time of the year. 850 air in place ahead of the system will be sufficiently cold (-6ºC or so over most of PA prior), which is about 10ºC below average for this time of the year. If the track of the low ends up trending south, so will the prospects of a very late season snowfall with it. Northern PA/southern tier NY is the safe bet right now, and where I'm eyeing this potential to be most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to disagree with you on this one - we went for a walk on Monday at 6pm and it was sunny and 70 degrees. Went out yesterday at noon and it was sunny and nearly 60, which with a strong mid-April sun felt very warm. The next 2 days will feature more sun, and while a bit cooler than normal, it's going to feel just fine in the sun. This might not be "ideal" spring weather for some, but I think calling this weather terrible is a little much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mostly looking at the zones showing temps staying at or near 50 into the weekend with on and off rain. Tomorrow may not break 45. If its not windy it will not be too bad. Most of my disdain is pointed toward the ugly Friday and Saturday forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Was 31 this morning, no sign of snow this morning, but was a heavy frost on car windows. Current temp at noon 42 and it sais it feels like 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 On the subject of deaths it sounds like about the same amount today (did not see exact amount) but they just said that half of the overall deaths have occurred at nursing homes. That is an important figure that I think needs mentioned. Does not make the virus any less dangerous but all data should be presented to be fair as to how its affecting all parts of the state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theme parks, theaters, and any other large gathering places maybe not so much. I'm still afraid of opening up to soon and then having to shut it right back down again because the virus came back with a vengeance... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
