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.

Ended with about 6 inches here. Not a huge bust on the level of Boxing Day or Juno, but it’s definitely a “what could have been” storm.

Light snow here, about 5 inches. Looks like some banding will find its way here overnight but it doesn’t look like it’ll be anything special. Not worth staying up for it, I’ll have to find out how much additional snow we get in the morning.

What a massive fail by the RGEM. It’s going to bust low everywhere.

A lot of the short range models show a lull overnight followed by more in the morning. All depends on how the low tracks.

They really want an additional 4-12" here? 4", sure...no way we get a foot though.

Your total seems awfully low...I have 4" and there are multiple reports exceeding that in the area.

Snow has lightened up here but it's still steady. About 4 inches so far. Looks like another heavier band is trying to make its way here.

Based on the info drought guy has given us I think he lives on the mountain south of Macungie. This is the type of storm where he should get a couple inches more than us just because of terrain enhanced snow.

A little north of Macungie, close to Dorney Park.

Made it into that heavy band, at least for the moment. 2 inches on the ground. Less than 2 more inches and we exceed the RGEM total!

I’ve seen Boxing Day floated as an analog for this. I’m already very close to my total from that storm with moderate snow falling. That band to the south looks nice…hopefully it makes it up this way.

Getting some stickage now, roads are still just wet though.
