Wtkidz Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Sterling talks about snow showers. ‘the mountains of course. .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... Favorable upslope flow persists into the morning hours with additional light snow for the Alleghenies. Storm total snow amounts will likely range from a trace to an inch. Meanwhile, a formidable shortwave trough is slated to track from the lower Ohio Valley over to the Carolinas on Saturday. Ascent ahead of these height falls may spread some light to moderate precipitation across the Potomac Highlands down toward I-64. This signal continues in a slew of the reliable numerical weather models. Moisture is somewhat sparse, but ample dynamics should help make up for some of this deficiency. Light snow amounts are possible, with the highest amounts likely to be over the central Blue Ridge where 1 to 2 inches is expected through Saturday evening. Elsewhere, a subtle wave tracking along the Mason-Dixon Line early Saturday morning could spread some snowflakes for areas north of I-70. This would largely be from the pre-dawn hours toward the late morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wtkidz Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Just now, MaineJay said: 31.6° with some light snizzle falling. You could call it a dusting so far. Radar looks better than the ground truth, at least at my place. Go Jay go…… get that snizzle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very glad to not have to put off the trip due to weather. Beautiful there. Our popular spot to visit in the Poconos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeter1 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Damp, foggy, and 36°. Hoping to see the sun by the end of the day... 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcari394 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Ended up with .5 to 1 inch overnight. It stayed just cold enough here to snow a bit more than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTC3-LAST CHANCE Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Well, in the end this storm would have been ado about nothing here, regardless of the lack of temps. The “snow capital of the East Coast” only received .04 , according to ABE Airport, and highest amount E PA was .17 in Scranton, noting that many locals always feel their rain and snow amounts are usually too low. The look on the radar loop seems to indicate that is too low. I do think it would help if they kept the bucket out away from any overhangs 👀👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ate away pretty good at the remaining snowpack. I live in the woods so I hold on to snow for quite awhile typically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wtkidz Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Just an fyi. lwx afd NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Shortwave low pressure continues to lift north and east through eastern PA this morning with its associated cold front sagging southward into central VA. Light shower activity continues to accompany this boundary mainly across northeast MD this morning. Elsewhere, dry conditions prevail with thickening cloud cover as an additional shortwave low pressure system approaches from the Ohio River Valley. This low pressure system will ride along the slow moving cold front into southwest and central VA this morning and into the afternoon hours. Accumulating snow is possible along the Alleghenies, portions of the Potomac Highlands, and central Blue Ridge/Shenandoah Valley. Hi-res deterministic/ensemble guidance continues to illustrate 1 to 3 inches of snow in these locations above 2500 feet with a worst case scenario of 3 to 6 inches especially along the highest ridges (i.e western Highland and Pendleton Counties as well as up around Wintergreen/Afton Mountain along the Blue Ridge). Some uncertainty remains in regards to overall accumulation due largely in part to the bulk of the snow falling within the max insolation period this afternoon into early evening 18-00z/1-7pm. For now, will hold off on any headlines given the uncertainty with a mention in the HWO. Headlines maybe needed though given the amount of QPF and intensity of any frontogenetic forcing/dynamical cooling as the low slides south and east. Either way, if you are traveling in these areas plan for slick road conditions as temperatures look to fall throughout the day and into tonight as additional CAA pours in. Elsewhere, dry conditions will prevail with a slight chance of rain mainly in areas south of I- 66/US-48 (Corridor H). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
