Itstrainingtime

Holy crap - you did really well this morning. I ended up with .1" more than you.

If it comes in first thing, maybe. Like you said, it's a borderline situation and if it's going to work, timing is everything.

Picked up .6" of new snow this morning to give me a final storm total of 4.9". Season to date is now 32.1" It's been a very good Nina for sure.

Could not have said it better...

I've been looking at Monday much like Nut was looking at yesterday. Meh. I've given it zero thought or attention. Guess I'll have to look into it somewhat...

All of the forecasts for yesterday were for more snow north, more mix (less snow) south. At least in Lanco the exact opposite happened. Southern parts of the county received 6-8", north of Rt. 30 it was closer to 4". You just never know.

Same here - I got double midtown Harrisburg. Then again, Holtwood, which is about 20 miles south of me, got 8".

.1" here. I slant sticked up to that. 4.4" storm total, 31.6" for the season.

It's snowing.

MDT and my total have never been closer in all my years living in Maytown. I'm at 31.5 YTD.

No - that map was valid at 7:00AM this morning. You have to subtract this morning's snowfall.

That Euro map was valid at 7:00AM this morning so keep that in mind. That's an additional 1" for me if accurate.

They're hard to ignore, (try as I do) but a lot of people love them, so my feelings are definitely in the minority and I respect what others want to see. There's no harm in them so long as people understand that they'll end up with somewhere around 5-10% of ground truth if you add up the totals on the maps. It's when people see 17" over their house and expect it from a 6 hour storm that I start to pull my hair out.

Safe travels. Thanks for the update.

CTP going for 1-3" additional snowfall tonight through mid morning tomorrow.

Oh no...I hate clippers. So many ways to fail with those. We've had some notable exceptions for sure, but I never count on much of anything from them. They really should be renamed "Mountain Shredders". One positive is they are high ratio events. You can score 3-4" of fluff from like .10" of QPF. So there's that.

Highest officially reported amount to Mt. Holly that I just checked was a 9.5". Some serious weenie reporting going on in the Philly thread, or a VERY localized dump in that area. I should have known better than to post weenie info - I take people for face value and assume they're reporting factual totals. My apologies.

True that. And that PHL post of mine was WAY off - 2 hours ago the airport was at 0.6"

I was having fun. You've done well and it's been LONG overdue up your way.

Horst (2 minutes ago) on more snow prospects: The back edge is coming fast! A classic warm advection event that plays out in ~6 hours...and so the worst will soon be behind us. As mentioned earlier, a trailing upper-level system may yield a bit of "bonus" light snow tonight into Friday AM. But we'll see about that...

Well folks - going by these 2 posts, it's pretty clear who posts positively and who posts negatively.

That would be nice - my 2 personal objectives were to reach my range, which I set to exceed my seasonal average, which I did. Right now I'm at 31.5" for the season, which is a HUGE win during a Nina. I went into the winter, and I shared this with Daxx, expecting 15-20" for the season. (he was more bullish than I was) So, anything from here on out is gravy.

100% sleet here - total snow/sleet is 4.3". We'll see what we add from here out, but totally satisfied. Right in the middle of my 3-6" range.

I have the big random flakes that you described earlier, and are often the indicator that the pingers are about to recommence here. We'll see - just about 4" here now. Again - I'm really glad that you joined our thread. Good to have eastern Lanco well represented!

Overall though - I have to say this and then I need to do some work: I find what's happening today to be 100% fascinating. We spend hours meticulously breaking down models, analyzing this and that, reaching into our own personal climo history books and memory. And yet - every storm is so unique and different. I know @paweather was/is hoping for up to 10" of snow today, most of us were somewhere between 3-8". Certainly NO one was expecting amounts at or exceeding 1'. And yet, out of nowhere, there are locations just west of Philly taking a solid run towards...who knows? Conshohocken is over 14" and ripping. That can't be predicted by anyone. What an amazing surprise for those people. And that - is why I love the weather as much as I do.
