I like the graphics that Wunderground provides for personal weather stations. This grab shows when the "shit hit the fan" so to speak which was at 6:04 am here in my backyard.

I'm not going to attempt to measure as I have a small property, and the wind I'm sure wouldn't give me an accurate measurement. Eyeballing, though, I'd say a good 2 to 3 inches here. Snow intensity peaks and wanes, but has been at least moderate the whole time. My backyard wind gust so far is 17.2 mph, so likely in a more open location, winds are probably gusting 25 to 30 mph.

Is it warmer, or are the rates just not there, from Ft Indiantown southwest to Harrisburg? Looking at PA511 cameras, I'm surprised the roads are just wet out there while everywhere else they are snow covered.

Down to 27.9 now. Snow blowing sideways at times and when it blows off the rooftops creates nearly whiteout conditions. From a high of 57 mostly sunny degrees yesterday afternoon to this today. The weather and power of nature is truly something to behold...

Temp down to 31.3 and the roads have indeed caved. Snowing moderate to almost heavy here as visibility is down to about 1/2 mile. Getting breezier as well.

Full on snow now. Temp down to 33.6 degrees. Grass and mulch caving. Roads soon to follow.

Just woke up. It was 37.0 and raining lightly. Put the dog out and had a smoke and while I was out, the rain was transitioning into snow, and it was getting breezy. By the time I was done it was mostly snow, and now the temp is 35.6 as I type this.

I literally just said this to my wife right before I read your response...

I remember that event. If I'm correct, they didn't have much problem with getting the snow to accumulate on paved surfaces either, despite the previous high temperatures.

The thought had crossed my mind earlier this afternoon/evening. Now that one was hoisted for the Blue Ridge Mtns, I wonder if we'll see more hoisted overnight, and if so, who gets them.

Don't they all?

Not liking what the HRRR is depicting. Once again targeting I-95. I hate when that happens. I'd much rather miss big snow to the northwest to the southeast.

Looks like tomorrow is going to be an interesting day. Could little old me finally end up in a jackpot zone?

If I had $5 for every time I saw this map depiction on CTP's page, I'd be a rich man...lol

They all seem to be putting me on a nasty gradient. And not the good side, either.

That's awful for my location. Look at that gradient. 4-6 for me, and 20 miles northwest 12-15...

I had .36" melted down with one inch of snow, which is likely gone by now.

If we're going to do this, I'm glad it's on a Saturday. Gives plenty of time to clear the roads for Monday work.

309 over the Blue Mountain between Tamaqua and Allentown a couple of hours ago...

Grass and other surfaces from Tamaqua to Hazleton are white. Roads just wet, except up in Hazleton where some bridges are slushing up.

Oh, you know I am...lol. But look here. Look at that fat jackpot zone right over my house...

NWS point forecast says 3-5 for Tamaqua. Not sure I'm buying it. Even the advisory is only for 2-4.

Well that was a big blow! Once again, my station only recorded a paltry 20.6 mph, but it had to at least be double that number. My neighbors house shook, and our front porch furniture was relocated. Rain was literally blowing sideways, and the power lines were whipping like crazy.

I'm not sure what's more depressing. Gas prices, war news, or our upcoming forecast after today...
