I love the nova pictures. I was living on campus in the PDII storm...it was simply amazing trudging around, the south campus snowball fights, walkin to the pubs in Bryn Mawrl in two feet of snow, blizzard conditions out in the main parking lot. Thanks for the pics. Brings back lots of memories!

Thanks man! Last winter was great on south campus, with the two HECS within a week Feb 6th-10th. Pretty awesome to have two consecutive snowy winters in this area.

TURN INTO QUITE AN INTERESTING EVENT IS SEEN ON RADAR AND SATELLITE

APPROACHING OUR AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST. NUMEROUS LIGHTNING STRIKES

ARE OCCURRING IN VIRGINIA THIS AFTERNOON A PROGRESSIVE UPPER-LEVEL

TROUGH OVER THE WRN CAROLINAS TAKES ON A NEGATIVE TILT. IT WILL

EJECT NEWD ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION THIS EVENING. AS THIS

OCCURS...THE SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE NEWD TOWARD A POSITION S-SE OF

LONG ISLAND BY 03Z. MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE THERMODYNAMIC

PROFILES ALONG AND S OF A LINE FROM NRN VA TO CNTRL NJ THAT WILL

INITIALLY SUPPORT MIXED PRECIPITATION. HOWEVER...THE COMBINATION

OF STRONG DEEP LAYER ASCENT AND STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL CAA

OCCURRING IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING SURFACE LOW WILL FAVOR A

QUICK TRANSITION TO SNOW AS THE PRIMARY SHIELD OF PRECIPITATION

TRANSLATES NEWD DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY NIGHT.

TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S AND LOWER 30S NORTH TO THE

Do not be surprised if the first heavy band or two rolls in as sleet, or sleet and rain. Do not post about how we are busting or getting screwed...Resist the urge. RESIST.

I have been thinking this would be the case. Heavy precip with Round 2 even in my area probably starts as a sleety mix.
