Next Thurs-Fri is looking a little bit interesting. Doesn’t look like anything big but if the clipper takes the right track we could get a 2-4” or 3-6” event.

Some flurries falling in Allentown. Mood flakes are always nice this time of year.

We will get our chances. This is the kind of pattern that doesn’t have any obvious long range threats. Instead stuff will appear 4-5 days out.

Some of the 0z mesos form scattered snow showers away from the main area of precip with the low sliding to our south. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some coatings around the area tomorrow evening.

And even if the Friday and Tuesday storms miss we have a parade of clippers to look forward to for the next two weeks. Pretty active pattern for this time of year.

Rain/sleet mix in Allentown. Maybe an inch on the ground.

I did say on my page that route 22 would be the dividing line between lower and higher amounts. So far that seems to be working out pretty well.

And back to mostly sleet again. CC radar is not picking this up…looking at it you’d think Allentown is clearly in a snow zone.

It has already changed back to snow here with some sleet pellets mixed in. Hopefully we get a nice period of heavy snow before the rain gets here.

That sleet line just hit like a brick wall. Went from dead silence to loud pinging instantly.

Steady snow in Allentown. Coating on the ground so far. A bit concerned about a changeover happening earlier than expected looking at radar…we should at least get an inch, maybe two before that happens though.

Monumental failure by the Euro with this storm. DT is probably questioning his entire existence after this.

Ahhh the classic snow to rain event in Allentown while the Poconos get hammered. I’m just glad we’re getting something this early in the season.

I went 1-3” on my page with the higher end of that range likely north of route 22. My concern remains the WAA push being stronger than modeled which often happens with events like this. Not as strong as the NAM, which is way overdoing it, but it wouldn’t shock me at all to see just 2-3 hours of snow. I think the R/S line makes it to around Blue Mountain or slightly north of there in the end.

Starting to become interested in next Saturday. Models have a weak Miller B setup and some of them hit us with a moderate snow event.
