I don't have access to twitter on the work network, but just saw on my phone that Cantore tweeted earlier about how this storm is underachieving. I bet those in the town he's at are breathing a sigh of relief.

After what I-95 had in October... if I was there I would be just as relieved not having to go through millions of downed trees and power outages. Snow in the middle of winter can be nice to observe; heavy wet snow in late April when trees are full of leaves doesn't look so nice.

You dug too deep into my post in some and not enough in others.

Scary that I can make out my 1.95" bubble at KFWN amid that jumbled mess.

This is a classic... if only we had this in January, this specific storm would've still been rain but at least there would've been cold and snow to follow. Even the latest models are showing a cold rainstorm towards next weekend that would've been a snowstorm if it was in the winter.

This storm would have been rain for the coastal plain but would have been heavy widespread snow on the western and in this case southwestern side of the low across the interior if it was winter, easily 1-2 feet from DC to Syracuse. And yea I did notice the storm showing up for the weekend, looks maybe interesting for I90 on north but as you said would be wayyyy more interesting if it was even a month earlier.

Heavier shower just came through and I was surprised to hear sleet pinging on my windows. Looked out to see sleet and some wet snowflakes mixed in with the rain. I live in Denver, PA (Lancaster County) about 12 miles SW of Reading, PA.

I know it's been said...... but it just boggles my mind that I can watch my kids trick or treat in the snow. Six months later I at least eyewitness snow covering April flowers (not IMBY but 5 mile up the road) and virtually nothing in between.

Actually, kind of an interesting stat...for my location at least, accumulating snow 6MONTHS apart almost to the day!

[Richard From Buf...]

18 inches of snow in the southern tier around 45 minutes south of Buffalo. Lots of trees and power lines down. Upslope/lake enhanced snow will put totals over 2 feet by tomorrow morning. Nothing on the ground in the city of Buffalo. Airport received a total of an inch. You had to be above 1200-1500 elevation to get into the heavy snow. Anywhere above 1500 feet received at least 6-8 inches of snow and still coming down, quite incredible while chasing today the variances in snowfall amounts in elevation.

Had some on and off showers and wet snowflakes throughout the day. Otherwise very overcast skies and quite raw conditions ruled the day.

Total rainfall: between 1.75-2".

Radar Loop April 21st 8pm to April 22nd 8pm.

I got about 3", can I trade an inch of rain for some of these wet snowflakes?

[snowrawrsnow]

Well. I got nothing. ;~;

Snow totals last 48 hours. Mount Laurel takes the prize. Took me some time to piece these together since there was a long stretch of reports.

I like the Laurel Summit close up. What's the distance between the 23.2 and 5?

JD,
Using mapquest and doing a straight a route as possible (back roads). Looks like about 10.5 miles between Laurel Summit State Park and the town of Boswell. Boswell looked like the nearest town to one of the 5" labels. Laurel Summit State Park is at an elevation of 2,739'. I'm sure the elevation made all the difference on the wide range of accumulation in that area.

Original MOS for today - negative 20-25 degree departures for highs? I must be looking at something wrong, I didn't know that exists



Tomorrow's supposed to have widespread -10 to -20 degree high temp departures in Pennsylvania:
