Having been glued to the computer screen since Saturday afternoon, I'm
going to try to take it easy tonight and go to bed early (stayed up
until 1:30 last night then got up at 6 today to start shoveling).
=========================
State College, PA : Member Jesse Ferrell :
Total of 12" of snow here. Snow and light snow off and on during the
day, still continuing at 7pm. Little additional accumulation. I almost
got the car stuck several times today. High winds today blew open the
locked door to HQ sometime this afternoon, and are causing blowing snow
to cover roads that the plows had cleared earlier. Road Conditions are
fairly good at 6pm for the Main roads (322 & 26 through town) with some
slick spots. Secondary roads are still pretty bad, with snowcovered
roads downtown this evening. Stuff isn't going anywhere fast...
tomorrow's high is predicted "near 20" and the low tomorrow night? 6.
=========================
Altoona, PA : Member Bud Younke
When i got to work in the city of Altoona, found less than two inches
total accumulation. Still can see the grass poking through the cover...
contrast to 3.25 6 miles NW of the city. Other reports
Broadtop, Huntingdon County 10" at 0700EST
Johnstown Area 9" and snow at 1030 EST

Finksburg, MD : Member Matt Rosier
Here in Finksburg, MD about 25 miles NW of Baltimore we received 5
inches
of snow. The secondary surface low (the coastal) produced some light
rain
during the late afternoon and early evening on Monday. As the surface
low
retreated there was a brief break in the precip before the upper low
generated precip, that was over Virginia, moved into western and central
MD. By 10pm light rain had switched over to light snow with about an
inch
on the ground by 11pm. A final vort max associated with the upper low
swung
through north central Maryland during the early morning on Tuesday
producing heavier snows until about 8am when snow became light before
moving northeast and ending around 9am.
=========================
Cranston, RI : Member Mike Hardiman :
When I woke up this morning at around 10:00 EST here in Cranston, RI,
winds were SW (so coastal flooding was a no go, except on the south
coast), and gusting to around 35mph, and they still are occasionally at
this point (1355 EST). Also at 10:00 EST, I noted a pressure of 980mb.
And that continues to drop. It's now down to 978mb, lowest I've ever
recorded here.
Rain showers today have been off and on, looked like the sky was
breaking towards the west at around 1300, but now it's overcast, and oh
no, now it's snowing. So a few flurries here in Cranston.
I'll peruse the buoy data again later today, and report if I find
anything note worthy. Unfortunately, the data suddenly stopped coming
in from them last night at 9pm. Then Taunton, MA stopped updating the
Regional Obs. Last report I heard was on the 11pm news, where Block
Island gusted to 45 mph. I'll also post when (and if) Taunton issues an
LSR.
It was great getting everyone's posts last night. Although the storm
did not turn out like I wanted it to, it was still enjoyable tracking
it!!

Tallulah Falls, GA : Member Shane Adams
CASI Members,
Here in Tallulah Falls Ga. we ended up with 2 1/2" of snow from the fist
storm, now we are receiving moderate snow from the second storm (the
clipper) moving east out of Alabama. It looks on radar as though we will
get snow for the next 3 to 4 hours. We actually have already received
near 1/2" in a very short period of time. Ill update again after the
storm has left the area.
