mahantango#1 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Today Rain and snow, becoming all rain after noon. High near 42. East wind 6 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. They must be sleeping at the NWS office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 CTP missed this one down here - kind of an impossible task but they should've hoisted a WWA by 8 a.m. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At most it's going in the books at .1" and that's being generous. Sounds like Maytown is fairing a little better... Gonna say 1-1,25" prior to flip here at office. Drizzle now. Nice job with several of the mesos showing sharp cutoff in W Lanco vs E. Wife said not much of anything in New Holland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit, I'm the first one to defend them. I think, my opinion...you worded your comment very well. For all the people crying about not issuing a WWA, I'll point out a couple of observations: They issue FAR more winter weather headlines (WWA, WSW, etc.) that do NOT pan out than times when criteria is met with nothing issued There is a razor sharp edge to this event in terms of ground truth - I just had someone here in my office, I'm showing them some of the pictures that are being posted, and they're asking me where do these people live. I tell them that the pictures are coming from York, Adams, Dauphin counties etc. and they are stunned. There's literally nothing here. All that said - they should have updated with SOMETHING for York and Dauphin counties. No arguing that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tend to forget those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Snow's stopped - 3.25". I assume heavy rain and low 40s kills most of it all by sunset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I often wonder about what they issue, it goes to show that even the most seasoned mets that fully know and understand local climo..... still miss the mark. Let that sink in EVERYONE!!. We live in a really challenging spot for winter forecasters. While I'm often pissed at what I read (or dont) from NWS, its a tough job and I'd NEVER want to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today worked out just how I thought it would w/ central folks cashin in and was pretty well supported by short terms (although 12k was a bit lagging (12z Wed run not east enough w/ frozen). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Sleet/rain mix. Just went and did some shoveling to help expedite melting on the drive and walks. It's melting quite fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job with several of the mesos showing sharp cutoff in W Lanco vs E. Wife said not much of anything in New Holland. Yeah for the most part the models really nailed the cutoff across Lancaster County. Just rain here now and roads are totally fine. Officially .1" of snow/sleet going in the books for this guy. I'll take it and hope for some fun little action tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Had snow flake size and intensity of all varieties during the past hour. It mostly is still oscillating between light and moderate. The intensity was enough to deliver an additional 0.5" to the storm total giving me 3.3" total so far. As I type this the intensity is picking back up again to moderate and enough to accumulate a little bit more. The negating factor now is the temperature which has risen to 31.6 degrees. I'm hearing a tiny bit of melting coming down through the leaders of my gutters. I have now officially exceeded the high end amount that NWS had forecast for me (by 0.3" lol). I really hope I can hold on to at least enough that has some white on the ground after the rain ends overnight. Perhaps we'll be treated to more than a dusting via the cold frontal passage tomorrow morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
