Central PA Autumn 2024

[WmsptWx]

Snow has ceased for the moment

[Bubbler86]

Up to 3.5" in the highest accum grass areas. 

[Superstorm]

I was staying in Milford PA last night. This morning had about 3 inches of snow on the car. But only about 2 miles away in the higher elevations of New Jersey. They had a foot and a half of snow.

Pen mar has to have 5”. I drove to Cascade and ft Ritchie and it was a bonafide snowstorm feel with wind blown SN and 30.

That’s next level. 3 to 18 in 2 miles

[DDweatherman]

Snowing nicely, still 32 here. Now that it’s dark, with these decent rates it’s adding to the totals. radar says it should continue still for a bit.

[Bubbler86]

GFS-Turkey bowl is on, partly sunny and highs near 50.

Lol 18z Gfs joins the too cold squashed club. Ughh

We can't shake the dry pattern.

[mitchnick]

Just a few "minor" adjustments to the Gfs over the last 3 runs. Lol

Too flat for what we need.

Funny thing is, although the Gem looked pretty good at 12z, as recently as the 0z Thursday run it showed a squashed whiff like the Ukie, Gfs and likely 18z Icon would show. Should have stayed the course instead of going dark.

[mitchnick]

Gfs goes Blizzard at 294 hrs, but favoring eastern locations.

HH was a disappoint but we move to 0z plenty of time

Exactly, especially with the 12z Euro & 12z Canadian bringing the goods.

A compromise solution would be a good thing, especially for southeast PA.

MDT recorded a T today.

[MAG5035]

1.2” was the best accum measured at the house today. Surface temps were just a couple degrees too warm in the early afternoon when the best snow rates were falling before transition to rain. Been mostly rain/white rain for a bit now with up to 0.85” for the day in precip. Currently about 36ºF.

I spent the morning on Tussey Mountain in NW Huntingdon Co for the last day of archery and by mid afternoon there was likely 4-6”+ above 1800’ on that ridge, esp towards State College. This is still ongoing in the Laurel’s, might have to make the 30 minute drive to the top of Blue Knob to see the situation up there. I bet there’s monster totals at that elevation. 

[Bubbler86]

Heavy rain and 32

You mean this beautiful December 5th monster…

Event still ongoing as the low looks to be getting ready to jump to the coast.

[Blizzard of 93]

It will be interesting to see how this resolves itself over the next few days.

Some of the higher spots in Chester County saw their first measurable snow of the young fall/winter season. Some of the trained spotter reported amounts (see map below) to the National Weather Service included 1.3" at West Caln Township / 0.6" at Honey Brook Township / 0.3" at East Nantmeal Township / 0.2" at Fricks and 0.1" at Paoli.

Of note the 0.3" recorded at East Nantmeal Township marks the 2nd consecutive year with measurable November snow in the Township. This follows 4 years without measurable November snow dating back to one of the largest November storms in county history that occurred November 15th through 16th of 2018 when 7.3" of snow was recorded at East Nantmeal Township.

Will MDT finish the 2024-25 winter season with more snowfall in inches than Joel Embiid's number of games played?

I'll take the former.

The Blizz winter outlook suggests embiid will need to get to the NBA Finals to match mdt's inches

[canderson]

..25” rain today. A blessing. You can hear the Susky gulping it up.

Already ruled out again for Sunday. 

I honestly feel bad for people who invested a crap ton of money on this team.

Meanwhile, Caleb Martin is out there running his ass off with a hand on his injured back.
