Steady light snow in Allentown. Not sticking to anything. We need it to get heavier to coat the grass and cars.

Whole lot of virga in Allentown right now. We did get a bit of sleet earlier though.

The snow pile at the end of my neighbor's driveway has finally melted. All that's left is the piles in parking lots.

Looks like it did! Seeing some lightning to the north for the first thunderstorm of the year!

Snowpack is officially gone. There’s a shady spot in my yard that still had some remnants left. Today’s rain washed that away. All that’s left now is the pile at the end of my driveway. Overall a very impressive duration, I had snow on the ground there for a month and a half straight.

0z mesos are way less amped with Sunday’s little wave which makes it cold enough for snow down to I-78. Gonna be interesting to see if that trend continues.

I swear this stuff always happens at the exact moment we all get sick of the snow and cold.

Major agreement for this on the globals and ensembles now. It looks like we could have an extended period of 60s and 70s starting late next week.

Another failure by the models here. They all had about an inch last night pretty consistently for days. We got nothing but virga and maybe a flurry. This is honestly just as frustrating as a bigger bust because it seems like such a simple setup that just never materialized for some reason.

AI GFS would certainly be something if it verified.

Well that Thursday threat disappeared quickly. It was never going to be anything big but a little burst of snow would have been nice. Crazy to think some models had it in upstate NY two days ago…now it’s suppressed to the south.

Thursday’s storm keeps trending towards a miss. I’ll have to enjoy the inch or so I get tonight, even if the sun angle causes it to melt immediately tomorrow.

Even when I say I'm sick of winter and ready for warmer weather, the minute that late March/early April threat comes around I'm watching the models and cheering on snow just like in the middle of winter.

Snow is melting quick here. A third of it is gone already.

I think the problem is that they rely too heavily on the NBM which has far more mesos/SREF data ingested into it than global model data. The same thing happened a month ago in the DC area, the NBM kept giving them a foot when it was clear they would be mostly sleet.
