Mount Joy Snowman

Very light snow here the last couple of hours, not much additional accumulation. Even my neighborhood roads have barely a coating. Temp has dropped to 30 so that's something ha. I still plan on hanging until midnight.

Yep, that's always been the bullseye. Will have to check in on my Hammonton buddy soon. Has to be pretty historic for them.

The latest HRRR really wants to dry things up quickly and even has the bulk of Chester County now getting less than 6" post-7pm. What a bust that would be out that way. We've certainly seen worse but this is disheartening.

That's remarkable, not sure we've ever had that kind of snow difference between us. I was wondering though, looking at the radar earlier, if things were having trouble making it your way. I have finally dropped below 32, to 31, but with the lightest snow of the event thus far. Again, not loving the radar.

8pm Obs: Snowing moderately at 32 degrees with 99% RH. 1.6" of wet sticky snow has fallen. Can't say I love the radar presentation around my area but as long as it's snowing I'm happy. Steady as she goes. Time to put the kids to bed and give these margaritas the attention they deserve. Onward.

My buddy in southcentral jersey says he currently has blizzard conditions (like most people he probably doesn't know the true definition but you know what I mean haha), only 3" so far but says it came quick.

My wife went out and got us some Mexican so I made margaritas. I only say that to say that I'm staying up until midnight to watch this play out. Have work tomorrow but plan on taking an 8pm and 12am observation before hitting the sack. Let's squeeze out what we can!

Yep, the trough is the place to be. I'm starting to wonder if there might even be a noticeable difference between you and I. You still not accumulating?

It's sure looking like that could be the case!

Accumulation efficiency still an issue here as I've been snowing steadily, even heavily at times, for over an hour and still only have a quarter inch. Temp has finally dropped to 32 so that should help. It looks great on the trees though ha.

Temp down to 33 with steady snow. All non-paved surfaces finally starting to cave. The big story of the storm is wasted qpf. We talked in the days leading up about inefficient accumulation with these temps and that has certainly played out, and then some. With that said, these next few hours is the business and will tell our story.

And that's what those of us east of the river fear, as it likely leaves us in a subsidence zone. Our totals over here are going to be dependent on the reach and duration of the coastal. That hole over Lancaster has been showing up pretty consistently though.

Temp of 35 and dropping as the switch is underway here. Now I need to go wipe off the puddles from my measuring table haha.

If you need cheered up, a freshman wrestler from Tamaqua won a District 11 championship last night.

Temps seem to finally be on the retreat. Some people in our neck of the woods should start flipping soon as the better returns move in from the southeast.
