Itstrainingtime Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Overall though - I have to say this and then I need to do some work: I find what's happening today to be 100% fascinating. We spend hours meticulously breaking down models, analyzing this and that, reaching into our own personal climo history books and memory. And yet - every storm is so unique and different. I know @paweather was/is hoping for up to 10" of snow today, most of us were somewhere between 3-8". Certainly NO one was expecting amounts at or exceeding 1'. And yet, out of nowhere, there are locations just west of Philly taking a solid run towards...who knows? Conshohocken is over 14" and ripping. That can't be predicted by anyone. What an amazing surprise for those people. And that - is why I love the weather as much as I do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just depends on the many coastals that are coming up from the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Enjoying solid moderate to almost heavy with larger flakes at the moment. But if you believe the radar, at least for now it could be the last hoorah for me. Nothing on radar to my southwest with the back edge less than 20 miles to my west. Temp down to 23.9 with heavier rate drawing down colder air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the big random flakes that you described earlier, and are often the indicator that the pingers are about to recommence here. We'll see - just about 4" here now. Again - I'm really glad that you joined our thread. Good to have eastern Lanco well represented! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Predominantly sleet mixture here at the moment with flakes still mixing in, visibility way up. 1.2" since my last report at 9am, 3.2" total. Heading up towards the Poconos this afternoon, will try and chime in from the road (don't worry, I'm not driving ha). Good luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paweather Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Just look at the GFS. I don't need to show maps yes, some sleet/ice in there but this goes on to 1pm Friday if you believe the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Here in Carlisle at 11:00am the snow has ended. Looks like there's going to be a LONG lull. 2.1" storm total. Temp back up to 24.4 degrees. I had the heaviest rates of the storm about 20 minutes ago right before some sleet began to mix in. I'm not giving up totally but I think the HRRR is going to be right. (Sorry for sounding so down! Not usually like this but all 3 big storms this winter I underperformed by a good margin.) I know it will snow again, maybe this Monday?

Storm Clouds Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 All sleet here now and the storm is about over. Wow I'm sorry, but what a disappointment...literally only 2 days ago, models were at least 6 inches of snow through a good chunk of southern PA. I barely made it to 4 inches. The way models this year dry up right before these storms is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
