E PA/NJ/DE Winter 2025-26 Obs/Discussion
rcostell replied to LVblizzard's topic in Philadelphia Region
Brine lowers the freezing point of water… so roads “just stay wet” longer and lower temperatures… so your observation is correct, too. . -

Thats a great hypothesis and concur. My place is about 10-12 miles ENE of WxWatcher007 in SLK- on the base of the Northern slope of Whiteface Mountain. Its around 1900 ft. I see the same phenomenon (and did this morning, too) regularly of slight enehanced upslope rates/accumulation overnight. Thanks for characterizing what I've noticed but hadn't articulated! Interesting.

November 2025 general discussions and probable topic derailings ...
rcostell replied to Typhoon Tip's topic in New England
Sorry for delay... It snows at lot there...1860 foot elevation at foot of Whiteface- not like the Green Mountain Spine- but just keeps chugging along. Last year was a good year for duration- basically no rain from early Dec- Mar. Was damn deep in the woods! -

Downtown SLK! Heres one from 12 miles to your northeast, up the Saranac River, in Franklin Falls (NW slope of Whiteface). Light upslope continues... -

Again- Please take the Chester County, PA. back and forth to the thread created for the Chester County PA. back and fort. Please.

Chubbs- A reminder, once again....As you may recall- a seperate thread was created for your ongoing quest to debate Chester County Pa with the resident troll here. If you could take that "debate" there, along with the troll- I think many of us who don't care about Chester County Pa weather site trivia would be better off for it. Thanks

E PA/NJ/DE Autumn 2025 Obs/Discussion
rcostell replied to PhiEaglesfan712's topic in Philadelphia Region
Thats funny...I was thinking the same thing. I'm in western Camden County, NJ...not a drop here today. I remember that storm well- 2 feet at the beach and the precip line just stopped near egg harbor tolls. I actually wrote to Elliot Abrams at the time (in a respectful way, asking what tha?) and he was kind enough to respond comprehensively. Seemed like such a locked in forecast- only to unravel almost the same day. Very similar to this one...professional forecasting is so difficult at times. It almost feels as if the models still can't predict such vagaries- even decades later. -
Thanks for your meaningful contribution. We all can see that you have been reduced to heckling and peddling BS opinions, troll. I'll follow my own advice and ignore your posts completely in the future (like so many in the forum it seems.) Buh Bye.
