Binghamton tuned down the forecast total for Wyoming Valley (PA) to 4-6" with their latest update.

Started off gangbusters here, and has slowed down a lot, so I can see why.

John Hickey (formerly of WNEP) also tweeted earlier that he expects mixing as we get into evening due to warmer air aloft.

I'm ok with it, we'll still make our dinner reservations this evening. With the slowdown i imagine the road crews will catch up pretty quick.

[JDClapper]

A disappointing 2" total so far, 0.6" the last hour. The dendrites have been small mostly. Hope that changes these last couple hours.

The mix line is within 5 miles of my house now, I'm barely hanging on to snow, now IP yet. 

May go back and forth??

@RTC3-LAST CHANCE .. you have a point on that back edge.  If the CTP discussion that says like 5-9pm is going to be our best rates here Williamsport/east, going to need some back-fill or at least slow the progression east.. which is seems like it's trying to back-fill in Altoona.  If not, we're gonna shut off here about 6:30ish in my area.

Man its racing

Changed back over to snow after 4pm. May have wasted my time clearing off the top of the driveway.

Yeah .. some back fill west of State College and the dendrites have improved quite a bit in the past few minutes .. would like to see these larger flakes for the next 2 hours.. here's hoping.  Hopefully this pans out as expect, or we are definitely low-ending it, at least here.  (Low end I was thinking was 5")

Looks like MDBlueridge came off his hill to clear my street, lol!

Pictures like that make me sooooo happy I'm retired.  Hated taking accident reports for morons who should have known to just stay the hell home until the storm is over.  God forbid they stay home for the day until the storm passes and roads are cleared.

The wait is over.  Light snow 32.9 on the Davis.

Yea Clap hope people don’t shoot me , but think we low end. This is flying, and just don’t see it pivoting in time. So think we low end. Over here we may get some late backfill as it blows up over the ocean, but lighter stuff.

Really need to close off circulations at H7 and H8 to really backfill.

20° DP of 12°

Some more ocean effect/enhanced very light, fine, granular snow.

[RTC3-LAST CHANCE]

Nice blanket here so far. Approaching3, but will measure when turn on lights.

[mkmcfrlnd]

Very light flurries and sleet overtaking at 653', as of 1715.

 

Maybe 1" of accumulation since 2PM, no board but that's what the eyeball on patio furniture tells me

You have this little negatively tilted trof within a positively tilted long wave.  It's trying to close off, but the long wave is zipping it along.

The meso discussion makes me feel we should see some backfill or a pivot of sorts to extend for a couple hours..we'll see. Im also keeping my eye on the correlation coefficient for that mix down south.

[Rickrd]

Not crazy. Almost 3” here 

PIVOT YOU BASTARD!

Don't think about coming up this way 😅
