Plowed slush at the bottom on the driveway will be a ton/cubic foot special. Might just let it sit and let Tuesday's monsoon take care of it. Yes - it will be yet another event where no shoveling is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 We have had a quarter inch of rain since it changed. Shovelling is brutal. Rgem had the right idea on Qpf but it's thermals blew (when it was showing 1-2 feet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 This is an absolute joke…! How in the heck did MDT only record 2.0 inches of snow today at the 5 pm summary. They had .42 of precip through 5 pm. Did someone look out of the air traffic control tower & phone in to CTP & say, “it looks like 2 inches Bob”!?!??! Hopefully this gets corrected on the official oversight daily summary. There is absolutely no darn way they had 2 inches of snow MDT on .42 of precip.

Bubbler86 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 2.5 hours to shovel 1/8" of a mile. The good was that the snow stuck to my shovel, bad it was super heavy. By the end it felt like this as we are coming up on 1/3" of rain on top of almost 6" of snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not on Twitter or Facebook, but it would be great if someone could reach out to them to inquire about their total. This is what goes in the books when we look back & things like this mess up the yearly tallies. A couple of inches of snow here or there add up over time. If it wasn’t 10-1 that’s fine, but I’m sure they had at least 3 inches or so at the minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think they got 5-6" though as my family in Etters only ended up between 3-4". They had a ton of mixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the past, one of you reached out on Facebook or Twitter to ask about MDT’s snow total. I really need to know how they recorded only 2.0 inches of snow today through 5 pm on .42 of precip. The “exact” 2.0 is suspect as well… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 @Mount Joy Snowman @Superstorm one thing just struck me - one big failure on virtually every model was the predicted sharp contrast across the county. All of us ended up within a couple of tenths of an inch. Interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absurd, but par for the course. Looking at the minute to minute MDT observations, they reported snow until 5 pm. Visibility started to rise after 4 pm so there was likely mixing, but still there is no way they only had 2 inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
