We have only seen flurries and some light snow showers from these streamers. These are not accumulating snows by any means.

You are forgetting the 06z NAM run from yesterday morning.

Storm total 3.2” here in Bethlehem Twp., PA

Storm is done here. Total is 3.2”

Good move on their part.

This system is really starting to crank. We have moderate snow currently with 2.3”. 30F

Up to 2” new here in Bethlehem Twp. Steady light snow continues. 30F

Apparently the event over performed and a lot of the locals were taken by surprise. I am told that local internet based forecasts were only calling for an inch or so.

The Boston snow drought looks like it’s coming to an end tonight. My daughter who lives in the Back Bay already has between 3-4”. Big bust to the high side underway there.

It appears that the Boston snow drought is coming to an end. My daughter who lives in Allston in the Back Bay already has between 3-4” and sent me this picture. Big bust to the high side underway there. Radar is crazy with the way the heavier echos are training (literally funneling) right into Boston currently.

I am seeing that also.

This is a radar view of what I was referring to. It is right near the Delaware River. Your shot also shows it.

The coastal has exited stage right if you will. It was never expected to be a big player in providing snow to this area. The trough and IVT are the features that going forward will provide the snow with this event.

Take a look at high resolution radar. I use the site weather.cod.edu. If you look closely at the elements you can plainly see echos coming west from the Jersey Shore while other echos come east from central PA. They are meeting along the Delaware River. This is where the IVT is currently set up. Where these echoes meet the accompanying moisture is lifted higher into the atmosphere and then precipitates back down mainly in the form of snow in this instance. This matches where the models are calling for the higher snow accumulations. Later tonight as the trough moves in the feature will weaken and push out to the east.
