I grew up in TWP in the 80s and 90s and always heard "more North and West" on KYW snow forecasts. Looks like we both made it North but not West.

Fat flakes falling with this band (radar grabbed about 15 min. ago). Should get me to, maybe over, 1".

1/2” of pixie powder in 2 hours. Started at 745 this morning and had a coating almost immediately.

Next weekend certainly bears watching, and makes the impending wash/balt jackpot an easier pill to swallow if it leads to the downstream effects depicted.

The van doing God’s work. Looks like we have a week to find out if we can time up some of our drought bustin’ with the advertised Russian invasion (cold, that is)

Measured with a ruler instead of eyeballs and going with 2.75” here. Perhaps closer to 2.5, but what’s a quarter inch between friends?

Getting clipped by what looks to be the last band here with steady light, almost moderate rates at 4am. Eyeballing 2.5 inches on elevated surfaces, about an inch on patio and driveway. Had a smattering of flurries throughout the morning yesterday but started snowing consistently around noon. However didn’t really start to accumulate until about 4 when the sun started setting. Was not delayed or denied and probably maxed out potential here. Nice event. Looking forward to Saturday football with snow on the ground and xmas lights.

Agreed. If anything, do we cash in more on the decaying/transferring low or developing coastal? Would more (or less) on the front end indicate the amount of coastal involvement or are they not correlated? I guess Im rooting for front end and then go from there. Delayed=Denied. Page 2, paragraph 3.

I semi- take this back. I’m not taking any flakes for granted and appreciate whatever we get whenever we get it. Desperate times calls for desperate perspective.

I’m hugging the 12k and tossing the 3k. That’s gotta be allowed in the weenie rulebook somewhere, right?

May I suggest @ChescoWx spend Christmas with the 12z GFS in Sea Isle?

I guess we just live under high pressure forever now. Have had less than 0.5” in the last 2 months (8/21-10/21) locally. On the bright side, blowing the leaves works like a charm. As far winter prospects go, is the cold pooling on the correct side of the globe for us this year? Source regions torching? Bueller? I think I remember seeing an SST map recently that looked ‘better’ than the last 2 years or so from Chesapeake Bay northward.

Once again approaching rain went *poof* and dissipated around me but on the bright side the AC finally kicked off for the first time in over a week last night.

Got dry-slotted/fizzled precip-wise today but cashed in on the mammatus and glowfest. Consolation I guess, but not if you’re a plant.

Starting Friday beautifully with afternoon storms likely, followed by a perfect summer weekend, unless you're cloudy cool mcbirds. Early June may win most enjoyable weather award. Just hope the storms pan out.

Seems like folks around rts 78 and 22 maxed out. What a difference 25 miles (for me) makes! Currently getting some of Agnes’ light snow blob. Maybe another shower or squall later if they can make it across PA.

Unofficially officially 3.5” on the trash can lid near the house and 2.5” on the driveway. Some quick differential equations averages that to 3” as of 5am

Yeah @Blue Dream and I will be sweating it if that 3k verifies. WWA here for now. Makes it dicey whether to stay up late or wake up psychotically early to watch. Sunny and 41 for now

Padding some stats with a moderate burst of nickel-sized parachutes the last 15 minutes or so.

Yeah, basically across the river from you and measured 3" of mashed potatoes on the driveway not too long ago. Agree it's let up but hoping we get some stat padding on the way out. Glad I dug out the snowblower but now have to change the oil since it's been a while.

First flakes started mixing in around 6 here and everything was coated, street and asphalt driveway included, once it was all snow by 6:30. Moderate to heavy snow currently, and eyeballing 2" on patio table and chairs.

Rain and sleet mix at the moment, with some sort of icy accumulation/accretion on the cars. Eagerly awaiting a change to snow.

Same. I don't know if Im just content bc snow’s falling or bc in self defense I had severely tempered expectations after losing the bullseye to the southern shift in the last 24 hours. Either way, I take.

Light snow since 6am eyeballing 1.5 maaaaybe 2” near Washington Crossing. Mod to heavy to maaaaybe ripping for the last 10 minutes or so. As I write intensity hasn’t slowed but flake size has.
