Central PA Autumn 2024

[Itstrainingtime]

Flakes and 33 - my blue Penn State lawn chairs are late to the party but are now actively participating in whiteout conditions.   (Wife and I were outside last evening enjoying them)

[WmsptWx]

What a great winter morning for uh... *checks notes* November 22nd.

[mitchnick]

Real snow all of a sudden. Pigeon Hills now almost obscured. 

[paweather]

Steady snow but nothing on the ground.

30 this Am.  Second coldest morning of the season here. 

Did you clear out last evening? I was outside briefly after supper and noticed that the sky was almost totally clear. I went back inside and asked my wife if she wanted to sit outside and stargaze, the conditions were perfect! My temp had dropped to 32 later in the evening before the clouds moved back in and my temp started to rise again.

My loading location at the base of the Blue Mountain on the Schuylkill County side off of PA309. Looks like about an inch on non paved surfaces.

I do not remember, sorry.

31 and moderate snow still falling. Great start to the year up here. Elk Mountain got smoked so great for them not too far away. I am just under 1500'.

Was nice to see snowflakes earlier this morning. Been no precipitation for me for an hour or so, minus a few sprinkles a couple mins ago. 

[Bubbler86]

A little mulch topping now.

So will I need to wait for the cheeseburgers?

I knew they’d get crushed and radar last night and the overnight looked great. When I was up in WBS & Hazleton they had gotten off to a nice start.

Been under a steady light snow for a while now as the temp sits at 33. Everything just wet except for a wee bit of accumulation at the crevice of some lawn chairs. Hey, there is officially snow on my property ha. 

[Bubbler86]

Roofs starting to cave.

Winner winner chicken dinner...

Hell of a good storm for you up there!

511 cam east of mansfield due east is lookin rather snowy.

 

Steady light snow continues and sets my mood just right.

 

Thanks Mo Nature.

This made me spit out water, well done. 

[pawatch]

Currently 36 degrees and snow flurries. Total  precipitation .14” 

Slight accumulation on cars this morning but it’s long gone. Nothing on house roofs.

Steady 5mph wind.

Meanwhile it continues to snow here. Roads have been resurrected thanks to the great folks at the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Grassy surfaces and everything not touched by salt or brine has caved long ago and we're probably over an inch. I think a little cooler surface and this would have been a bigger hit. The consensus amongst the met community do make me worried that this could be one of few events, which will be a damned shame, but let's play that out later.

I got 8" of snow so far in Hazleton

As Mitch pointed out earlier, early looks are already being revisited due to ENSO (or lack thereof), so yeah, like you, I'ma gonna take it as it comes and hope for surprises, or futher tweaking of long lead forecasts (Weather World was quite the Debbie....)

You wanted that extra half though, didn't you? 

[Bubbler86]

Sun angle has saved my roof.  No collapse just wet now. 

[canderson]

A pretty steady rain here

When in a drought, rain is indeed pretty.

Absolutely!

Snow may be falling at the heaviest rate yet. I know the plug is likely to be pulled within the next hour or so, but this continues to be a nice event. 

[mitchnick]

Icon on board for next week for a 4-6" type event north of MD line or so.
