E PA/NJ/DE Winter 2024/25 Obs/Discussion
Chadzachadam replied to JTA66's topic in Philadelphia Region
Elevation and tree cover made a big difference around here (NW Philly). At the bottom of the hill (lots of paved surfaces, elevation ~25ft) I would call it just a trace. At the top of the hill (lots of trees, elevation ~175ft) they got probably 1.25". I'm in the middle and have about an inch on the deck and 0.6" in the yard -

Just drove from West Philly to East Falls (NW Philly) through West Fairmount Park. Pretty much just cars and north-facing yards covered in the city, but it was really snowy up in the hills in Fairmount park, probably an inch on all the trees and unpaved surfaces. Here in NW Philly everything is covered but the road, maybe 1/2” -

Moderate to heavy snow here in NW Philly. Radar really blew up right over me in the last 20 minutes. Still maybe a little rain mixed in, phone says it's 39 but thermometer on the deck says 34 -
Looks like a bit of a bust here in NW Philly, mostly drizzle and light rain so far today with a couple periods of moderate rain. Less than 0.50” so far

I'll go with 2.5" final measurement in East Falls, but there was quite a bit of melting and compacting while it was still snowing. Went for a walk up the neighborhood hill and there was noticeably more snow at the top of the hill (~200 ft elevation) than at my house (~90 ft elevation). Fun storm and should be melted pretty quickly here if we actually get to 40 degrees with sun this afternoon like the forecast suggests

Think it must be just a little too warm here in NW Philly for significant accumulations since the sun came up. We have around 2 inches but only 1/4" where I cleared an hour ago despite moderate-heavy snow still falling

January 19, 2024 Powder Snow Event

I thought it was over but we have been back to moderate snow for the last 30-45 minutes. Looks like around 4.5" so far -
January 19, 2024 Powder Snow Event
Chadzachadam replied to Ralph Wiggum's topic in Philadelphia Region
3.25" in NW Philly. 0.4" - 0.5" / hour rates and still snowing moderately. Looks like right across the Delaware in South Jersey might be the jackpot when all is said and done -

Chadzachadam replied to The Iceman's topic in Philadelphia Region
The roads look about as bad as I've ever seen them in my neighborhood, just 2-3 inches of solid ice in most spots. Not sure if they were totally untreated/unplowed but the freezing rain to end the storm certainly didn't help. Maybe the warmer temps tomorrow will help them recover somewhat before more snow on Friday -

Looks like 5 or 6” here in East Falls but impossible to tell for sure. Sharp cutoff to the NW: https://www.weather.gov/source/crh/snowmap.html?sid=dvn -

Looks like over 2” here especially in places that didn’t melt this afternoon. Not much wind yet, roads are not great but not fully covered. Steady light snow
