Admin MaineJay Posted April 19, 2022 Admin Share Posted April 19, 2022 Diverted due to a road closed on my way to the job, guessing a tree is down. I actually keep my chainsaw in the trunk in case of an emergency, whether that be weather, zombie, or Sharknado related. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdfarabaugh Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) Its amazing how elevation dependent this storm was. Here in Ebensburg we maybe got 2" as the heavier precip was sleet slop. Drive a few miles east on rte 22 and the snow quickly piles up. I was impressed by this storm for the 18th of April. I had a truckload of freezer beef to pick up in Hollidaysburg down off the mountain and though eh, sun angle, april 18th it will be a little rough but nothing I cant navigate. Roads just had a little slush when I left, but As @BigMirgsaid earlier every road that went down off the mountain was closed. Not so much impassible but I dont think anyone anticipated this and trucks and people who took snow tires off were screwed. I was lucky enough to turn around beforehand. Honestly can say it was worse than the pre thanksgiving storm a few years ago. Heavy sloppy slippy shit made it worse in comparison.

Something about spring snow seems slicker than winter. I think it has to do with the layer of water underneath the snow since the ground isn’t frozen. I bout bit it twice coming up Knob Rd around 12. It deteriorated rapidly after that. Lucky to get home when I did. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRex Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I took my son to work this morning and roads were terrible with the worst driving conditions of the "winter". Lots of large limbs and small trees down. I even saw a Subaru off the side of the road. I measured 4 1/2" on my garbage can. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRex Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Looking at local snow reports, the highest total I have seen so far is 9 1/2" reported from Lake Placid at 8 am. There's a report of 5" near me, so my 4 1/2" looks to be accurate. Temp is still 32 with some snow continuing to fall. Supposedly it is supposed to turn to rain soon and may rain to about 1 pm.

MDBlueridge Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 This is really cool. A ton of precip fell as snow. And of course it was elevation dependent. #almostMAY 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRex Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Our forecast was for the snow to turn to rain starting at 8 this morning but the snow continues. It is currently 35 and I don't expect we see any more accumulations, but the snow on the ground won't be the typical April snow where it is melted by noon. I expect to see some pretty high totals from the nearby higher peaks. Quote 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh much better yea I remember there were some flakes mixed in the heavier rains, mostly just the splat from the drops really, as I was driving through york but that was about it. Im sure there were a few spots that managed something out that way but melted fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
