Superstorm Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Watch this trend the right way the last 24 hours. Nam suggest the lsv gets a quick .3 to .5” of qpf. With rates and an earlier start we could be looking at a 3-6” hit Im going with 1” for Cashtown with 6” reported by trainingtime.Real quick hitter. Could come in hot and heavy. Very interesting system.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a triple point with low development. That should provide plenty of lift. If the ball rolls the right way, lsv could be looking at a low end warning event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Clouds Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Going to be very interesting to see what schools do around here tomorrow. I’m a first grade teacher myself and my district has been in person since August. When we have snow days this year, we teach from home so the kids aren’t even getting “snow days” anymore! That is so frustrating to me , but that’s another conversation lol... We had virtual learning snow days both Thursday and Friday...this could be the third snow day in a row! Something tells me though many schools are going to try to get to school tomorrow because of that fact... Also, schools tend to follow local TV meteorologists...and both WGAL and ABC 27 down here are underplaying this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 One of the most satisfying aspects of the past few weeks to me is being in the "refill pattern." One thing that has been rare for years is snow on snow. This past week I had bare spots. Thursday took care of that. There will be a lot of melting today, hopefully tomorrow takes care of that. It's been fun all the way around - lots to track, lots to admire on the landscape. Good times... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 The 12z GFS Para has a wave Friday night into Saturday that delivers som more CTP snow. Some models have shown this Friday or Saturday possibility on & off the last few days. Maybe we will have 1 more to track before February is done? If not...We still have all of March to go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Horst: 1-3" followed by sleet and then rain. Snow around 9:00AM, rain out of Lanco by 4:00PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really beautiful with the snow on ice covering everything. The large pine trees covered with snow and ice are gorgeous I did just that not too long ago, it definitely didn’t disappoint haha. It really sticks out with the clear skies today, I wish I could load the full quality pics on here. It’s always wild the difference 4 miles and 1100’ of elevation makes.

Greensnow Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 15 minutes ago, Bubbler86 said: All water under the bridge. BGM The high sun angle this time of year will keep snow ratios possibly below 10:1, especially across our southern counties in NE PA. Snowfall rates will likely not be too intense, especially by early Monday afternoon, and the high sun angle may make accumulations tough on paved surfaces. Snowfall amounts will likely be very elevation dependent through the day Monday and some changeover to rain will be a possibility across the lower terrain. The higher terrain in NE PA is forecast to see 3 to 4 inches, while valleys get 1 to 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashtown_Coop Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Gotta love this Monday Rain and snow, becoming all snow after 1pm, then gradually ending. High near 37. South wind 9 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.

Blizzard of 93 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 The 18z NAMs are looking good for tomorrow. This should help to keep snow in the backyard for the rest of February! Rarely do we keep snow cover for an entire month, so this would be another win for this winter to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C’mon man...it’s not that bad around here. We have great outdoor activities..biking and hiking, skiing, boating, hunting/fishing. We have one of the nicest minor league parks in baseball. Yeah there’s some marginal people around but where isn’t that? And it’s a pretty safe place to live. Good schools and a very nice PSU Altoona campus. Great shopping , restaurants and taverns. Check us out some time. You’ll like it..lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
