Does this ring a bell to anyone?? Just start naming some old PA weather boards and maybe one will ring a bell for me. If not, I will crawl back into my hole and speak of none of this ever again ha. Nope UTS?I started on the AOL Weather forum. That is how old I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I'll try and squeeze in my data for the storm thus far. In Carlisle, around noon, it continues to snow lightly. It's been snowing lightly for hours, but at a rate too slow to accumulate very much. It does look beautiful out there with almost no wind and everything covered in white. My temperature is 31.8 degrees after a low overnight of 26.6 degrees. Since midnight I have recorded an additional 0.8" of snow for a storm total of 1.5". I won't melt the snow down until the current storm officially is over. Yesterday's 0.7" melted down to 0.07" of liquid for an SLR of precisely 10:1. At least we are getting to enjoy an all-snow event before the mixers arrive later tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been on Eastern and this one. There were a lot of personalities back on Eastern, one of which was a young guy named Colin. He lived up near Hazleton I believe. He made Ruin look like Blizz. There was another active poster from the Wilkes Barre area that then moved to NYC and disappeared just in the past couple of years. One of my most favorite posters all-time was the met HeavyWx. He still posts occasionally in the MA sub, he was a met in State College that moved to Virginia. He would come in advance and during big snow storms and start talking like Typhoon Tip...I'd get all excited at what he was saying even though i had no clue what the hell any of it meant. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin was from Catasauqua, which is an Allentown suburb. When Wright Weather folded and Eastern started, he was briefly a moderator until more capable people, and meteorologists migrated over. He was a weenie through and through and eventually got banned if I remember correctly. There was a guy PSU Hazleton, whom I believe is the true Wmsptwx, who changed his name when he went to school there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, 20:1 train-wreck vs. useful post ratio.... The Weather Channel also had a forum way back in the day... pretty similar.. It was before much raw model output and graphics were available, so i remember the depth of analysis of the AVN was basically binary "OTS" or "hugging the coast". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having a hard time fully understanding what is fully behind the streaming moisture from the gulf prior to any phase. Huhh, thats a good point to ponder Me thinks its much of what we've been seeing and just overrunning the boundary out in front of vorts and is prob related to LL winds as there's just enough WAR for influx of moisture. 2/19 LL winds (850mb) show it, but now that you say that, it has been a year with seemingly larger qpf fields. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 At 1:00pm here in Carlisle, the temperature has fallen to 31.6 after peaking at 32.2 during the past hour. In the last 15 minutes or so the snowfall rate has increased to the point where there could be some additional accumulating. So far, though, nothing more to add to the 1.5" storm total. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccuChris Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 So far, 12z Euro wants none of it with regards to any front end snow Saturday, keeps the primary wound up and west of the mountains and pops temps close to 60° Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
