Changing forecasts

There are some "surprise" changes to the forecast. First of note is now 3 to 6 inches of snow for Eastern West Virginia, Western Maryland, and Western Virginia. And the latest update is now heavy snow warnings for Central Ohio, in an area which was suppose to recieve all rain or a mix of rain and ice. Hmmmm... and that snow/sleet line has almost made it to the OH/WV boarder, as that warm pocket cools and the cold air from the west pushes in. Some interesting stuff going on.... |

Freezing rain here at 3:55 P.M. and 29 degrees... starting to come down pretty hard now. It was forcast to start off as snow, THEN turn over to freezing rain before changing back to all snow once again sometime early tomorrow morning. Roads and flat surfaces here starting to get slick and slippery, and tree limbs and branches now have a fine coating of ice one them. Hopefully it will switch back over to all snow soon, because if it keeps up like this all night, we will have a major ice storm and much damage to contend with.
Forecasters here STILL can't seem to make up their minds one way or the other on this situation!
Updates to continue... |

The storm pretty much fizzled out here. They were calling for six to ten inches of snow by early afternoon. Sometime before 6 A.M. the light snow stopped, and never started to fall again! As I type this out, the sky is blue and the sun is shining!!! 
Total snowfall here... 3 inches!
Like Jeanie is saying, the air overhead was SO DRY that the moisture evaporated before it reached the ground. And in relation to all of this... was outside at 6:00 A.M. this morning back in the woods where it's real quiet, filling my birdfeeders... heard four jets overhead, just in the brief time that I was outdoors. Went inside, logged onto FlightAware, and it revealed only ONE JET in the area... and this lone jet was NOWHERE NEAR WHERE I COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HEARD IT!
They're calling now for 6-12 inches of snow here from lake effect storms coming in off of lakes Erie and Ontario over the next 24 hours.
If this were, say, 10 - 15 years ago, I'd go along with this forecast, but not so sure anymore. I'll post our snowfall totals from these lake effect storms here. |

| Worst of the Storm hits the south

Just as Big Joe alluded to on Wednesday with the USAF spraying it kept temperatures down as we covered with the Penn State discussion. The worst of the storm hit the south at the luxery of the Northeast. A lot of Atlantic Air was pushed into the system aloft. Temperatures were only 35F to 38F over many regions in the Northeast at 2500 to 5000 feet but just warm enough to change everything over to ice.
Ice Storm Proves Deadly

(CBS) More than 700,000 homes and businesses began the day Friday without power after a frigid night allowed ice to build from a deadly storm in the South.
The ice also left commuters with more tough driving conditions from Georgia to Maryland, and forecasters warned that dense morning fog could create an extra coat of ice in below-freezing weather.
"There's a lot of ice still on the roads," said CBS News reporter Pete Combs Friday morning. "I'm sitting right now at an intersection in northeastern Charlotte and I'm watching wheels spin, people driving very gingerly, simply because the road is nothing more than a sheet of ice."
Hundreds of accidents were reported Thursday, and utility companies said it would take days to fully restore power. Still in the dark Friday were about 328,000 customers in North Carolina, 358,000 customers in South Carolina and 30,000 in Georgia — numbers that climbed from the night before as temperatures fell and ice built up.
The outages were caused when ice-laden tree limbs fell onto power lines, or the lines themselves snapped under the weight of the ice.
"A lot of neighborhoods that would be lit up with festive Christmas lights are dark," reports Combs.
At least four deaths were reported, including a 58-year-old man in suburban Charlotte who was lying on a couch in his living room when a 100-foot tree buckled from heavy ice and crushed him. Two men were killed in separate accidents in Maryland when each lost control of his vehicle and collided with another vehicle. A FedEx truck driver was killed when his vehicle hit an SUV that lost control on the Capital Beltway in Virginia.
North Carolina's heaviest icing — one-half to three-quarters of an inch — came in the southwestern area of Saluda and Flat Rock, said Doug Outlaw of the National Weather Service's bureau at the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport in South Carolina.
A mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain created treacherous conditions on Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey roads, also. A series of accidents involving 14 cars in Hamilton Township, N.J, were blamed on the winter storm, reports CBS station KYW-TV.
"Slow down. Please slow down and go home if you don't have to be out, that's all. Wait until tomorrow to do your driving," New Jersey State Trooper William Carbounis said. |
