The CTP website being down won’t help with the official stats either unless they are back up & running soon. The Sanford to MDT flight was cancelled due to the snow. That may help a little. :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy56 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 If this does turn out to be the last event of the season, old man winter has choreographed one hell of a showstopper grand finale with this last line… heavy snow, intense wind, near whiteout here now….

CarlislePaWx Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I can't get over how @Blizzard of 93 has had double the snowfall and conditions that I've almost never had during this storm. About a half hour ago I had several wind gusts into the 30's with wildly blowing snow...but that only lasted a few minutes. It's been snowing mainly lightly since 1:00 but not enough to accumulate further. The winds which had been pretty breezy have backed off a bit, although I'm getting a good gust as I write this. Back at 1:00 I recorded no additional accumulation with a storm total of 2.3". Temp continues to drop, now down to 23.5 which is the low of the day. The max, at midnight was 46.7.

Mount Joy Snowman Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Well I got back from Hershey a little while ago and I got to say this is a big letdown here. I don't have more than 2" anywhere and our area was consistently and repeatedly forecasted to be in the heart of things. Now, there is this last final band moving through and snow intensity is increasing so we'll see what that adds, but between the midday arrival and the strong winds it's hard to accumulate and get a good feel for amounts. I think someone expressed surprise earlier that the state wrestling championships weren't canceled or postponed, and well, they must not know wrestling fans very well haha. The only thing coming in faster than the snow at 8am this morning was the number of pickups flying into the Giant Center parking lot. The roads were perfectly fine for both the drive there and the drive home and I damn near needed sunglasses coming home. Here's to hoping this last band lays down something meaningful. Congrats to those making out big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah until this final band moving through we just never had "those" types of conditions here. Again, all roads were perfectly fine both this morning and this afternoon all the way from Lancaster to Hershey and back. Was expecting much more impact this morning, kind of like I'm seeing now.

Yea, storm definitely busted for some of you over there. I guess once we heard Pittsburgh exceeded their best hopes we should have expected something to change here. Quick observation is that the best precip from the intitial wave ended up making it much farther west than initially progged...before Miller B'ing away as the coastal took over.

Streak Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 5 minutes ago, Superstorm said: Not sure if we got caught under better band but snow ain’t that bad here. . It’s been pretty good here too. Consistently snowing all morning and afternoon so far. Some slow periods, but at no point did it seem like it was over and at times high wind and heavy snow; almost whiteout conditions. Right now it looks and sounds like a blizzard outside. Impossible to even guess at totals, given the wind, but it’s definitely a winter storm scene here in central York county. I’m about 1.5 miles north of the Mt Zion exit on Rt 30 and we’re usually just far enough south to miss the good stuff. Hope the Lancaster crowd gets to cash in soon.
