Everything is pretty much still on track tonight, as low pressure continues to move in an unorthodox way into New England.

Here’s an initial look at the snowfall potential across the area. Keep in mind, this map covers snowfall over a period from Thursday afternoon through Friday night. More snow is expected in the Laurel Highlands on Saturday. A few selected areas(through Saturday afternoon): Johnstown 12 to 15″, Altoona 4 to 6″, State College [...] There’s still a few differences in “model land” with regard to timing and placement of low pressure, but there’s enough agreement now to make some first guesses. There’s a tremendous amount of moisture and lift moving westward into the state from Thursday afternoon through Saturday morning. The heaviest snow (over 8 inches) will be [...] Science is big. Weather is huge! There’s no better place to prove that this weekend than in Pittsburgh at the Carnegie Science Center. That’s where they’re hosting StormFest in partnership with California University of Pennsylvania. I’ll be heading out there on Friday to get a glimpse of everything they have going on. From the [...] A viewer sent this in today and I just wanted to share it with all of you… Thanks Ralph!
Hey everyone. It’s 46 hours of students on their feet. It’s THON! Here’s the live stream from THON! I made the trek to Altoona today to talk to the Kindergarten classes at Juniata Gap Elementary School. They were a great group of kids and had a lot of good questions. We learned about clouds and what it takes to juggle all the different kinds of weather. Click into the post to see the video! Here’s the latest snowfall totals from across the Alleghenies. The first is for this month (so far), and the second is for the 2009-2010 season (so far).
The last time Johnstown hit 100″ of snow in a season was 2002-2003. Before that, you have to go back to [...] Our Presidents’ Day snowstorm wasn’t a huge storm, but the snow did come down hard at times. Many of us have received 2 to 4 inches through late Monday evening. Accumulating snow will continue through early Tuesday morning in Centre and Cameron counties, with another 1 to 2 inches likely. West and southwest of there is where the bigger snow totals will show up. So with about one and a half months left to go in winter (give or take), it’s time for an update as to how much snow we’ve seen and how it compared to the averages. Click into the post to see how much snow has fallen across the Alleghenies. I know this is a little out of our viewing area, but a lot of these events impacted the Alleghenies, too. NWS in Pittsburgh has listed the top 10 weather events for 2000 through 2009. I have to agree with the biggest weather event, as it was a major disaster in my hometown, as well. The only good that came from all the flooding is the fact that we ended up getting a McDonald’s in our little town. Here’s half the list… To read more, click the link at the end to be taken to the NWS page. Pennsylvania – check Alabama – check Kansas – check Colorado – check Oregon – check Arizona – check Hawaii… … … – yup, check! On February 12th (Friday), it was confirmed that all 50 states had at least some snow on the ground. This is a remarkable event and statisticians aren’t sure if this has happened before (in recorded history). Hey everyone. Here’s a quick update about the snow coming for Monday and Tuesday… Read on for when to expect the snow and for a snow map of how much to expect in your backyard. Our busy February continues with another potential storm system early next week. Here’s a quick update about the Blizzard Warning. …BLIZZARD WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS EVENING… …WINTER STORM WARNING IS CANCELLED… THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STATE COLLEGE HAS ISSUED A BLIZZARD WARNING…WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS EVENING. THE WINTER STORM WARNING HAS BEEN CANCELLED. LOW PRESSURE [...] Another day, another winter storm for the Alleghenies. This beast won’t be as intense as the last, but we’re still going to get a significant snowfall from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday night. A storm on February 5th and 6th dropped 2 to 3 feet of snow in areas across the Alleghenies. Traffic came to a standstill but it allowed people to get out with their cameras. Lucky for us, they sent some in to us. Click the link for a gallery of 40 pictures we’ve uploaded [...] I’m hoping to post some pictures and a little more Monday, but here’s something to whet your appetite until then. These are the NWS official snow totals from their Public Information Statement.  They are arranged by county with the highest snow totals listed first. (Remember, these are official numbers. For a list of all reported snowfall totals to the Severe Weather Team Blog, click into the Snow Totals post) Click into this post to see the NWS numbers… Our current winter storm continues to track further north with each passing model run. The center of low pressure is now expected to reach a little further north on the Virgina coastline. This will push the heavy snows further north as well. The 10″ line will run from Marion Center to Mahaffey to Warriors [...] It’s just about here, so that means it’s time to take a stab at some snow totals. First though, we still have some disagreement amongst the models tonight. The difference lies in the handling of a trough of low pressure in the Canadian Maritimes. The further south this feature is, the lighter the snow will be. Right now, the consensus leads me to a very snowy forecast for areas south of I-80. |
