Downtown Altoona Was just going to ask you how things were out that way, as it looks like some nice cells have been moving through all morning, particularly just to your north.

Yea we had a pretty good blast of snow during the late morning. I just got home here and I was surprised to measure 1.5" on the glass table on my deck. All on grassy and elevated surfaces, this stuff isn't touching any pavement or gravel at this elevation. I'll bet the top of the Allegheny front has advisory amounts on it, I was up in Cambria County early this morning and the higher spots already had snow on the ground presumably from the back end of the main precip changing to snow overnight. Accumulations are pretty elevational and localized down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be noticing a theme with me asking everyone their elevation. I have big problems with topo maps haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 One of my neighbors owns an company that sells home heating oil and he just stopped and asked if I had seen the 12Z GFS. He had an extra giddy up in his step so I had to check. No temps above 60 (MDT) the whole run. Not really cold either. Just cold enough to keep selling oil. I told him the Euro does not at all concur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 In the past 90 minutes, had a light rain shower that slowly transitioned to graupel, and then finally mixed with a few parachutes. Not sure if I would have seen the snow but was walking along the river at the time...wife spotted it first, so kudos to her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would come out of the closet and post themselves. The whole "posting about spring weather in their March Long Range Discussion" thread seemed to be in really bad taste to me, and I agree 100% with @losetoa6 on that issue. Couple of facts about that: They had an established Spring 2021 thread - why not post spring thoughts in that thread? The Long Range thread, whether they'll admit it or not, was more or less all about winter weather threats anyway. Go back through 2020 and you'll quickly notice that there was no long range monthly thread in April, May, June, July, August, September. Why is that? Coincidence? I'm happy for Losetoa6. He's been on an island down there and took a lot of sarcasm...good for him to reap some reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They purposely posted items to counter his posts...and there are two "moderators" doing it right now as well. Even if you say the long range thread is all seasons there is no reason to sit around and vulture post someone because you think their longing to keep winter alive is not worthy of reading. More internet bullies that would never act like that in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
