    All surfaces are white here in Ivyland. Nice band over us setting up shop. Both vehicles went in the shop this AM. Dead battery on one, deal oil pump on the other. Murphy's Law.

    But that wind On a serious note, wind may damage dendritic plates and pack snow depth, but in the LE gauge it still amounts to the same amount of snowfall wind or not.. 15:1 should be common especially as temps continue to drop to around 20 overnight near the peak of the event. Eta: the 20:1 that chris sauers is stating probably not so much...that seems extreme

    And the Hrrr, RGEM and GFS ticked East

    Location, location, location. Tuck job. Little different than when the NAM and Euro had this kissing Bermuda 2 days ago. What a turn of events!!!

    I'm not watching the low trend west. I've been watching the convection and heaviest banding moving west and expanding over the last 18 hours. Alot is in response to how quickly this will deepen. When these stack and occlude there is a natural tendency to tug the low left of center which is why we are seeing a tuck on the mesos. This is only like 20 miles now from the benchmark for extreme E PA areas and points S and E.

    0z starting off spectacular. Im sure the gfs will be in soon to buck the trend.

    Not cool Oh wow

    This better not be another Lucy. Seems like far E PA might be catching a rare late break headed into this storm. This time a day and a half ago I was barely expecting a coating from the PRE or whatever we r calling it starting in the AM with the Saturday coastal just grazing. Now things are getting interesting. Iceman might be in for a surprise?

    2m Temps during height of the storm:

    Needles at these temps. We aren't talking mangled flakes and plates. https://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/class/class-old.htm

    Some of you guys aren't familiar with how a coastal works and it shows. The coastal points see the gale winds...and higher elevations in E PA. But these are 10m winds during the height of the snowfall here in SE PA. 17knots max near my area? We get out best winds when the damage is done and the snow has mostly moved out: Winds won't knock down the totals as much as 20 degree temps will fluff up the accums in the Del Valley.

    5-10" Philly...probably.closer to the lower end but giving some wiggle room for another bump west.
  13. Ralph Wiggum
    I dont like Kucera but they may be closer to reality this time around due to the high ratios in E PA
  14. Ralph Wiggum
    Should be 15-18:1 Action News actually suggested 20:1 ratios. They said colder n and west in upper teens so even if lighter precip will pile up fast.
  15. Ralph Wiggum
    I will take that 10" of fluff and run like hell
  16. Ralph Wiggum
    I thought the low was consistent in placement. Biggest diff is it bombs very early on.
  17. Ralph Wiggum
    So all of the models are basically wrong and the low should be closer to the coast because of convective feedback issues. K, got it...thanks for the hot take y'all
  18. Ralph Wiggum
    Not when you're the King... that's peasant play
  19. Ralph Wiggum
    Still 6-7" here, so sign me up
  20. Ralph Wiggum
    And gefs....and geps....and eps caving. Pattern flip kicked like a can.

    If you get a chance and haven't tried lemon plums, they usually show up for about 2 weeks in grocery stores this time of year. Treat yourself if u are lucky enough to find them. They don't taste like lemons nor plums. Well, maybe a little plum. But reminds me of candy....a not as sugary cotton candy treat. Good stuff!!!
  22. Ralph Wiggum
    Rather it be S and E with the H5 look depicted than a cutter for sure. Repeat of Jan 3....again? Shore points jackpot?
  23. Ralph Wiggum
    Nope. Actually this look has improved. The midweek system is warmish and the sacrificial lamb that resets the pattern moving forward. King GFS is honking:

    Baked cauliflower au gratin, yes. By itself hard pass. Made a nice cauliflower cashew soup once or twice that was tasty.
  25. Ralph Wiggum
    Same!
