look out phila area

I recall reading about how summer storms were often found to intensify over urban areas and wonder if the same thing is going on with this. It's truly eery! :snowing:

SN+

Temp 29.8 F

Winds moderate out of the N

Vis < 1/4 mile

It's just piling up and drifting and the street is now empty of any cars.. :lmao::P

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ

1011 PM EST WED JAN 26 2011

.SYNOPSIS...

-- Changed Discussion --LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL INTENSIFY AND MOVE

NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT, REACHING THE CANADIAN MARITIMES THURSDAY. WEAK

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION THURSDAY BUT WILL BE

REPLACED BY SEVERAL WEAK CLIPPER SYSTEMS DROPPING DOWN FROM THE

NORTHWEST FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN LATER

IN THE WEEKEND.-- End Changed Discussion --

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...

-- Changed Discussion --THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A RATHER IMPRESSIVE CLOSED LOW JUST

EAST OF THE DELMARVA AT 03Z. THERE IS TREMENDOUS LIFT ON THE NORTH

AND NORTHWEST SIDE OF THIS FEATURE WITH A RIBBON OF VERY STRONG

FRONTOGENETIC FORCING LINING UP FROM NEAR KNYC TO KPHL THEN BACK

INTO NORTHERN DELAWARE. STRENGTHENING CONVERGENCE IS ALLOWING THE

LARGE AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW ALONG THE I-95 CORRIDOR TO

BECOME ENHANCED MORE FROM NEAR HUNTERDON COUNTY NEW JERSEY TO

PHILADELPHIA TO NEW CASTLE COUNTY DELAWARE. RADAR IMAGERY OVER THE

LAST HOUR HAS INDICATED THIS AREA IS INTENSIFYING. SNOWFALL RATES

IN THIS BAND MAY NEAR 3 INCHES PER HOUR FOR A TIME AS UPWARD

VERTICAL MOTION BECOMES EVEN DEEPER WITHIN THE DENDRITIC SNOW

GROWTH ZONE. THERE CONTINUES TO BE AN OCCASIONAL CLOUD TO GROUND

LIGHTNING STRIKE DETECTED ALONG OR NEAR THIS FEATURE. WE WILL

WATCH THIS FEATURE AS AN ADDITIONAL UPWARD ADJUSTMENT IN SNOWFALL

TOTALS MAY BE REQUIRED.

THE GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS IS PRODUCING SOME BLOWING SNOW AS WELL

WHICH IS REDUCING THE VISIBILITIES EVEN MORE. THE ENHANCED

SNOWFALL RATES WILL MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR PLOW CREWS TO KEEP

UP. WE WILL ADJUST THE GRIDS DURING THE NEXT HOUR OR SO BASED ON

TRENDS AND SOME NEWER MODEL GUIDANCE.-- End Changed Discussion --

i haven't measured.......a wild guess would be 8 inches but i was shoveling and it is a pretty heavy snow

Yeah i have 9 new inches and 6 from this morning. So far for a total of 15 inches, might get more like 2 or 3 more inches. This is all using my snowboard where drifting doesnt effect the snowboard.

I'm utterly amazed at how hard it is snowing. Visibility is about a half a block.

Hip I live in NE Philly on Maxwell Street off of Welsh Road, took a "jebwalk" it was one of the best snow walks of my life. Couldn't see down the street.

it HAS to be one of the top ever in my 40 yrs that i can remember..........i feel like a little kid right now!!

I have to agree and feel the same, but for my lower back since i blew my lowest disc back in the summer it hasnt been fun, but this snow is taking that pain and dulling it because of the excitement.
